Time-out timer
The time-out timer feature helps extend battery life by preventing accidental transmission.
The radio will emit a continuous warning tone if the button is pressed for more than
60 continuous seconds and will stop transmitting.
The battery level meter
The battery level meter located in the display indicates how much battery power you
have remaining to protect the rechargeable battery. When the battery meter has one
segment left, the radio will chirp after releasing or every 10 minutes.
Duplex mode
Repeater stations can re-transmit your signal over a wider area giving you extended
range depending on the location, height and availability of the local repeater station. For
information on the locations of repeater sites in Australia and New Zealand visit our
website.
Your radio supports duplex mode on channels 1 - 8. If the repeater channel in your area
is channel 1, when you are in duplex mode the transmit channel will be channel 31.
