Penalty Timer
A penalty timer may be programmed on conventional systems to prevent transmissions for 
the programmed time after the time-out timer disables the transmitter (see Section 4.6, 
"Time-Out Timer"). The penalty
 timer can be programmed for the same times as the time-
out timer, and timing starts when the PTT switch is released. If the PTT switch is pressed 
while the timer is running the timer stops, and continues when the PTT switch is released. 
When the penalty timer expires, a beep sounds and the transmitter can then be keyed.

Conversation Timer
A conversation timer can be programmed on conventional systems in addition to the time-
out timer (see Section 4.6, "Time-Out Timer"). This timer limits the total length of a 
conversation rather than just the length of each transmission as with the time-out timer. 
The following is more information on this timer.
• It can be programmed for times up to 7.5 minutes.
• It is reset when the time between transmissions exceeds the time programmed for the 
penalty timer.
• A warning beep sounds five seconds before this timer disables the transmitter.
• When this timer disables the transmitter, a continuous tone sounds and the red transmit 
indicator turns off. The PTT switch must then be released until the penalty timer expires 
(indicated by a beep).
