10ADVANCED OPERATIONSTIME -OUT TIMER (TOT)The purpose of the Time-out Timer is to prevent any caller from using a channelfor an extended period of time. If you continuously transmit for a period of timethat exceeds the programmed time, the transceiver will stop transmitting and analert 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 thewarning tone to sound.B USY CHANNEL LOCKOUT (BCL)The Busy Channel Lockout feature is activated or deactivated by your dealer.When activated, BCL prevents you from interfering with other parties who may beusing the same channel that you selected. Pressing the PTT switch while thechannel is in use will cause your transceiver to emit an alert tone andtransmission will be inhibited (you cannot transmit). Release the PTT switch tostop the tone and return to receive mode.TALK A ROUNDYou may occasionally experience an interruption in service (due to a powerfailure, etc.). During such an occurence, you can continue communication byusing the Talk Around feature, if it has been programmed by your dealer.Talk Around allows you to communicate directly with other transceivers, withoutthe use of a repeater.
