ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
Time-Out-Timer (*)
This function has two purposes:
- to allow, after a set time, to listen to other urgent calls.
- to avoid to transmit for an endless time, in order to prevent overheating or damage to the
transceiver. After a programmable time of 30-300 seconds of uninterrupted transmission, the
transceiver automatically stops the transmission emitting a warning tone (pre-set function). To
stop the warning tone, release the PTT key (7). To restart the transmission, press again the PTT
key (7).
Battery Saving
This function reduces the battery consumption when no signal is received or when no operation is
performed (it means when no key is pressed, no switch is turned on/off). This function is automatically
enabled if no signals are received and if radio has not been operated for 10 seconds.
Low Battery Indicator
During transmission, this function warns you when it is necessary to charge the battery. If the battery
level goes down to a fixed level, the Led indicator (6) will flash in red colour and the transceiver will stop
the transmission.
Monitor (*)
When no signal is received, the Squlech circuit automatically disables the speaker, so the background
noise desappears. To manually disable the Squelch, press the MONITOR key (8). This function may be
useful when you want to adjust the volume, when you want to receive a weak signal or when you want
to listen to a channel screened by CTCSS/DCS. If the Monitor key (8) is pressed, the Led indicator (6)
lights in green color.
Tone Squelch Function (CTCSS) / (DCS) (*)
1. Any channel may be associated to a programmed private protection CTCSS/DCS tone. A
CTCSS/DCS tone is a sub audible tone which allows to cut off and therefore not to listen to
signals transmitted from other users on the same operating channel.
2. When you receive a signal which has a tone different from the one which has been programmed
on your radio, you will not listen to this signal. For the same reason, your outgoing messages can
only be received by other radios which have the same tone as yours on that channel.
Note : Even if the use of a CTCSS/DCS tone will protect you from receiving unwanted signals, the
privacy of your transmissions is not guaranteed.
(*) This function may be enabled only by using the optional programming kit.
