ADVANCED OPERATIONS

TIME-OUT TIMER (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, 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.

BUSY 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
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.

TALK-AROUND

You may occasionally experience an interruption in service (due to a power
failure, etc.). During such an occurence, you can continue communication by
using the Talk-Around feature, if it has been programmed by your dealer. Talk-
Around allows you to communicate directly with other transceivers, without the
use of a repeater. However, if the station you want to contact is too far away, or
there are geographical obstacles in the way, you may not be able to contact the
station.
Toggle Talk-Around ON and OFF by pressing the key programmed as Talk-
Around.
• TK-760G/ TK-860G only: "T" or "TA" appears on the display while Talk-Around is active.
• TK-760G/ TK-860G only: AUX flashes orange.
• When using Talk-Around, the "receive" frequency is used for both transmission and
reception, and the QT/DQT "decode" signalling is used for both encoding and decoding.

HORN ALERT

When a call is received that has correct DTMF codes or 2-tone signalling, Horn
Alert causes the vehicle horn or some other external alert to sound. This
function notifies you of a received call when you are out of your vehicle.
Toggle Horn Alert ON and OFF by pressing the key programmed as Horn Alert.
