AUTOMATIC POWER-OFF
The “Automatic Power-Off” (APO) feature will turn the radio completely off after a user-
defined period of PTT or key/button inactivity. If you do not press any front panel keys or
buttons, do not rotate the Main Dial knob, do not use the microphone’s keys and buttons,
do not transmit, and so long as the transceiver is not scanning or engaged in priority
monitoring, the radio will shut itself off after the specified time period. This feature is useful
in minimizing battery drain in a mobile installation if you forget to turn the transceiver off
when you leave your vehicle.
To activate the APO feature:
1. Press and hold in the
[
BAND
]
key for 1/2 second to activate the “Menu” mode.
2. Rotate the Main Dial knob to select Menu #1 (
APO
).
3. Press the
[
BAND
]
key momentarily to enable changing of the Menu item.
4. Rotate the Main Dial knob to select the desired “switch-off” time (between
0.5
and
12
hours (0.5 hour steps), or
OFF
).
5. Press and hold in the
[
BAND
]
key for 1/2 second to save the new APO setting and exit to
normal operation.
When the APO feature is activated, “ ” appears at the left of the frequency on the
display, and a timer starts every time you press a key. If you don’t press the any keys until
about three minutes before the end of the selected power-down period, as long as you are
not scanning or priority monitoring, “ ” will begin blinking and an alert beeper will
sound. If you don’t press a key in the next three minutes, the transceiver will turn itself off.
