2) When you press the PTT switch on the Speaker/Microphone, it disables the internal mi­crophone, and vice versa.
If the Busy Channel Lockout feature has been
programmed on a channel, the radio will not trans­mit when a carrier is present. Instead, the radio will generate short beep three times. Release the PTT switch and wait for the channel to be clear of activity.
If CTCSS or Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) Lock-
out has been programmed on a channel, the radio can transmit only when there is no carrier being received or when the carrier being received in­cludes the correct CTCSS tone or DCS code.
Automatic Time-Out Timer
If the selected channel has been programmed for automatic time-out, you must limit the length of each transmission. While transmitting, a beep will sound 10 seconds before time-out. Another beep will sound just before the deadline; the “TX” indicator will dis­appear and transmission will cease soon thereafter. To resume transmitting, you must release the PTT switch and wait for the “penalty timer” to expire.

LOW POWER
Press the assigned programmable key to set the radio’s transmitter to the “Low Power” mode, thus extending battery life. Press the key again to return to “Normal” transmit power when in difficult ter­rain.
TALK AROUND (TA
Press the assigned programmable key to activate the Talk Around feature when you are operating on du­plex channel systems (separate receive and transmit frequencies, utilizing a “repeater” station). The Talk Around feature allows you to bypass the repeater sta­tion and talk directly to a station that is nearby. This feature has no effect when you are operating on “sim­plex” channels, where the receive and transmit fre­quencies are already the same.
Note that your dealer may have mode provision for “Talk Around” channels by programming “repeater” and “Talk Around” frequencies on two adjacent chan­nels. If so, the key may be used for one of the other Pre-Programmed Functions.
)
TX SAVE DISABLE
Press the assigned programmable key to disable the Transmit Battery Saver, if you are operating in a lo­cation where high power is almost always needed.
The Transmit Battery Saver helps extend battery life by reducing transmit power when a very strong sig­nal from an apparently nearby station is being re­ceived. Under some circumstances, though, your hand-held radio may not be heard well at the other end of the communication path, and high power may be necessary at all times.

FOLLOW-ME SCAN
The “Follow-Me” Scan feature checks a User-as­signed Priority Channel regularly as you scan other channels. Thus, if only Channels 1, 3, and 5 (of the 8 available channels) are designated for “Scanning,” the user may nonetheless assign Channel 2 as the “User-assigned” Priority Channel via the “Follow­Me” feature.
To activate “Follow-Me” scanning, first select the channel you want to designate as the “User-Assigned Priority Channel” and press the assigned program­mable key. Then rotate the CH Selector knob to re­call to the “Scanning Start” channel which has been programmed by your dealer to activate the scanner. When the scanner stops on an “Active” channel, the User-assigned Priority Channel will automatically be checked every few seconds; if activity is found on the User-assigned Priority Channel, the radio will switch between it and the Dealer-Assigned Priority Channel, if any.
FOLLOW-ME DUAL WATCH
To set up a “Dual Watch” frequency pair using the “Follow-Me” feature, select a channel using the CH Selector knob. Now press the assigned programmable key; pressing the assigned programmable key locks the current channel as the User-assigned Priority Channel. Now rotate the CH Selector knob to select another channel (not the “Scanning Start” channel). Your radio will now switch back-and-forth between the currently-selected channel and the User-assigned Priority Channel.
During “Follow-Me” scanning (after you have pressed the key), you can set up the “Dual Watch” feature by rotating the CH Selector knob to another channel. The radio will then scan back and forth be­tween the original User-assigned Priority Channel and the newly-selected channel.
The Priority Channel you have assigned (before pressing the key) will be retained in memory until you change it.
