F8 - PHONE OPTIONS This function will be active only when the Phone Operation field has been
set to a value other than None. Allows access to Conventional
interconnect access codes and digit timing parameters for this
personality.

customize a radio to specific system requirements.
Field Definitions
Personality Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the desired Conventional
Personality. You may also enter the number directly.
Note: Refer to the Motorola Radio Catalog Sheets for the
maximum number of personalities allowed for this model.
Receive Only Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable Receive-only
operation on this personality. If this feature is enabled, all
transmissions including signalling are inhibited.
The default is Disabled.
Direct/Talkaround This field will not be visible if the Receive Only field is set to Enabled. Use
the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable Talkaround operation on the
current personality. In Talkaround (or Direct) mode, the radio will
transmit on the receive frequency. This is useful when a repeater is not
in operation or is out of range.
Talkaround may be used in a manual or automatic mode. In the
manual mode, a talkaround switch must be defined on the RADIO
WIDE BUTTON SWITCH MENU (F4/F3/F3). The switch may be either
on the top or side of the radio or on the keypad menu (if applicable).
Note: If talkaround operation is enabled and no button/switch
is assigned, the radio will default to talkaround operation on
this personality.
The default is Enabled.
Time-Out Timer (sec) This field will not be visible if the Receive Only field is set to Enabled. Use
the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the Time-Out Timer (TOT) for this
personality. Time-Out Timer determines the amount of time the radio
can continuously transmit before it must be de-keyed. When the Time-
Out Timer is about to expire, the radio beeps and then stops
transmitting.
Each personality may have one of four different TOT values. These
values are: 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120 and 180 seconds and Infinite (that
is, Time-Out Timer disabled). The four values for the radio can be
changed on the RADIO WIDE OPTIONS MENU (F4/F3/F2/F9).
The default is 60 seconds.
