IMER
(TOT)
The purpose of the Time-out Timer is to prevent any caller
from using a channel for an extended period of time.
If you continuously transmit for a period of time that exceeds
the programmed time set by your dealer (default is 1 minute),
the transceiver will stop transmitting and an alert tone will
sound. To stop the tone, release the PTT switch.
Your dealer can program a warning function to alert you
before the TOT expires. Continuously transmitting for the
time specified by your dealer will cause the warning tone to
sound.

OCKOUT
(BCL)
When activated, BCL prevents you from interfering with other
parties who may be using the same channel that you
selected. Pressing the PTT switch while the channel is in use
will cause your transceiver to emit an alert tone and
transmission will be inhibited (you cannot transmit). Release
the PTT switch to stop the tone and return to receive mode.
Note: Ask your dealer for an explanation on how BCL functions
when using QT or DQT signalling.

While operating the transceiver, if the battery power becomes
low, an alert tone will sound every 30 seconds and the LED
indicator will blink red. Replace or recharge the battery pack.
