TRANSMITTING
SELECTING OUTPUT POWER
It's wise, and required by law, to select the lowest
power
that allows reliable communication. This saves battery
power which extends battery life, and lowers the risk of
interfering with others
on
the band.
Press
[F],
[PTT].
• The default is High
power
(no indicator appears).
• Each time this key combination is pressed, the
transmit output power changes as below:

TIME~OUT
TIMER {TOT)
It is sometimes necessary
or
desirable to restrict a single
transmission to a specific maximum time. This feature
can be useful when accessing repeaters to prevent
repeater time-outs, or when particularly trying to
conserve battery power.
Select
the most appropriate
timer value for your operating habits.
