prevent possible transmitter damage caused by transmitting for an exces-
sively long period.
Home Zone Select
If the HOME zone option switch is programmed, pressing it selects
the preprogrammed home zone. This provides a quick way of returning to
the home zone. The transceiver may also be programmed so that when-
ever power is turned on, the home or last selected zone is automatically
selected.
Tone Select
The various alert tones that sound are described starting on page 56.
These tones can be enabled and disabled if the
TONE option switch is
programmed. To turn all tones off, press this switch and “TONE OFF” is
displayed. Then to turn all tones on again, press it and “TONE ON” is
displayed. If this switch is not programmed, tones are fixed in the on or
off condition by programming.
Power Turn-Off Delay
Your transceiver can be installed so that the vehicle ignition switch
as well as the front panel power switch control transceiver power. If this
is the case, both the ignition switch and the front panel power switch
must be on for transceiver power to turn on.
When the ignition switch controls power, a turn-off delay of up to
254 minutes can be programmed. The delay can be overridden at any
time by turning power off using the front panel power switch or turning
the ignition switch back on. A turn-off delay allows calls to be received
for a time after the ignition switch is turned off. At the same time, advan-
tages of ignition switch control are utilized such as preventing the battery
discharge that may occur if the transceiver is left on for an extended
period (see page 59).
