TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT)

The Time-out Timer can be activated only on Conventional channels and in NXDN
Trunking system. It is used 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 the TOT time in the range of 15
seconds to 20 minutes.
If programmed by your dealer, a pre-alert tone will sound before the timer expires.
Also, if programmed by your dealer, you may have to wait for a short duration before
you can continue to transmit. If you press the PTT switch before the timer has been
reset, an alert tone will sound and the transceiver will not enter transmit mode.

COMPANDER
The compander can be programmed only for specific analog channels. If it has been
programmed by your dealer, transmitted signals are compressed before being sent
and received signals are expanded when they arrive.
Your dealer must set the compander for both the transmit side and the receive side in order

This background feature allows higher clarity of signals, avoiding excessive noise
and interference. This feature is not used on digital channels, as they are not
susceptible to noise and interference.
