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, DQT, DTMF, or FleetSync signalling.

If activated by your dealer, the Battery Save function will
decrease the amount of power used when a signal is not being
received and no operations are being performed (no keys are
being pressed, and no switches are being turned).
While the channel is not busy and no operation is performed for
5 seconds, Battery Save turns ON. When a signal is received or
an operation is performed, Battery Save turns OFF.
Note: While the Battery Saver is operating, the LED may flash green
when receiving a QT/DQT signal which does not match the QT/DQT
tone/code set up in your transceiver.
