Aurora User’s Manual
TRANSMIT TIME-OUT TIMER
The transmit timeout timer is
dealer-programmable. The length of the
time out is the maximum amount of time
the radio transmits after you press the PTT
button. If you are still talking past the
timeout timer, the radio will stop
transmitting and you will hear a continuous
boop error message until you stop pressing
PTT. Your dealer can program a group’s
transmit timeout timer from 0 [no time
out] to 4 minutes in 15-second increments.
TALK AROUND
When you select Talk Around, your radio
will transmit on the frequency of the
channel you just received, and use the
receive Code Guard and bandwidth
parameters of that channel.
You can activate the talk-around feature
from the function menu if the function was
not assigned to the three-position switch.
If talk around is enabled, Code Guard and
paging ANIs are both temporarily removed
from the channel. When this happens, you
cannot see the radio paging icon [ ] in
the display of your radio.
MAN-DOWN SWITCH
The man-down feature is a factory-
installed option. The switch is activated
when the radio is tilted. Then the radio
will start an emergency ANI sequence
transmission indicating the user is
“down.”
