General Radio Features
Time-Out Timer
All ASTRO XTL 5000 Digital Mobile Radios provide a time-out timer
function that prevents locking up a repeater or channel by prolonged
keying of the transmitter. You cannot transmit longer than the preset
timer setting. If you attempt to do so, the radio automatically stops
your transmission, and you hear a talk-prohibit tone.
Note: You will hear a brief, low-pitched, warning tone four seconds
before the transmission times out.
The timer is set for 60 seconds at the factory, but it can be
reprogrammed by a qualified radio technician for between 15 and 465
seconds (7.75 minutes), in 15-second intervals, or it can be disabled
entirely for each radio mode.
Push-To-Talk Identification (PTT-ID)
When you press the PTT button to send a message, your radio ID
number is transmitted as part of each voice message. This PTT-ID
number is then shown on the receiving radio’s display.
For the digital mode, the display shows up to eight right-justified
digits.
Pressing erases the PTT-ID from the display.
The display conditions of PTT-ID must be programmed by a qualified
radio technician.
