It is sometimes necessary or desirable to restrict a single
transmission to a specific maximum time.  This feature
can be useful when accessing repeaters to prevent
repeater time-outs, or when trying to conserve battery
power.

When TOT times out, the transceiver generates beeps
and automatically returns to receive mode.  To resume
transmitting, release and then press Mic [PTT] again.

You can change the default TOT time (10 minutes).

1 Press [MNU] to enter Menu mode.

2 Select Menu No. 13 (TOT).

3 Press [OK], then turn the Tuning control to select the

desired TOT time .

• The selectable time are 3, 5, and 10 minutes.

4 Press [OK] again to complete the setting and exit

Menu mode.

Automatic Power Off is a background function that
monitors whether any buttons or keys have been
pressed, or whether the Tuning control has been turned.
After 3 hours pass with no operations, APO turns OFF
the power.  However, 1 minute before the power turns
OFF, “APO” appears and blinks, and a series of warning
tones sound.

  If the squelch opens or any settings are changed during the 3 hour

period while APO is ON, the timer resets.  When the squelch closes or
you stop changing the settings, the timer begins counting again from 0.

1 Press [MNU] to enter Menu mode.

2 Select Menu No. 12 (APO).

3 Press [OK], then turn the Tuning control to switch the

function ON (or OFF).

4 Press [OK] again to compete the setting and exit

Menu mode.
