Owner`s manual

If the Busy Channel Lockout feature has been programmed on a channel, the radio will

not transmit when a carrier is present. Instead, the radio will generate a continuous low-

pitched tone while the PTT switch is pressed. Release the PTT switch and wait for the

channel to be clear of activity.

If CTCSS (Continuous Tone Code Squelch System) or DCS (Digital Code Squelch)

Lockout has been programmed on a channel, the radio can transmit only when there is no

carrier being received or when the carrier being received includes the correct CTCSS

tone or DCS code.

Time-Out Timer

If the selected channel has been programmed for Time-Out Timer, you must limit the

length of each transmission. While transmitting, a beep will sound 10 seconds before TX

time-out.

Another beep will sound just before the TX time out. The TX indicator will disappear and

the transmission will cease at the TX time out. To resume transmitting, you must release

the PTT switch and wait for the "penalty timer" to expire. If you press the PTT switch

before this timer expires, the timer restarts and you will have to wait another "penalty"

period.
