IMER
(TOT)
The FTM-10R has the “Time-Out Timer” (TOT) feature that is designed to force the trans-
ceiver into the “receive” mode after a preset time of continuous transmission (the default is
“OFF”). This feature prevents your transceiver from transmitting a “dead carrier” for a long
time if the microphone PTT switch is accidentally locked in the “TX” condition. The Time-Out
Timer “switch-to-receive” time may be adjusted from 1 to 30 minutes, or Off via Menu Item.
1. Press and hold the [VOL/SEL] key for one second to activate the Menu mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu Item “F43 TOT”.
3. Press the
key to enable selection of this Menu Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired interval. Available selections are 1 to 30
minutes, or Off.
5. Press [VOL/SEL] key to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
When your transmission time is within 10 seconds of the Time-Out Timer expiration, an
alert bell will provide an audible warning from the speaker.
