19. Time out Transmit
Setting
Nothing is more disruptive to Marine
VHF communications than when some
boater has his or her microphone
PTT
key pressed accidentally. The problem is
that there is no way to notify him that the
problem exists since the radio cannot
receive traffic.
The V20 has a Time Out Transmit feature
that allows you to set a maximum period
of PTT key press time before the radio
will revert to Receive Mode. This is set at
the factory at five minutes, but you can
enter any value from one to twenty min-
utes, or turn off the feature entirely.
To change the Time Out Transmit setting,
press and hold the MEM key and turn the
power on. Set the
TOT time by pressing
the
▲ or ▼ keys. (Fig. 20a)
• The
TOT Range is 00, 01–20.
• 00=TOT off
• 01=1 minute
• 20=20 minutes
After setting the TOT, press the PTT but-
ton to save and exit to Receive Mode.
• If a transmission exceeds the
TOT
time, the radio will stop the transmis-
sion and return to Receive Mode. The
message
TRANSMIT TIME
EXCEEDED
will show in the Radio
Status Display at the bottom of the
screen. (Fig. 20b)
20. Display Back-Light
If any key is pressed, the display and key-
pad light will turn on and remain on for
ten seconds after the last key press.
