VX-820 OPERATING MANUAL

 If the Busy Channel Lockout feature has been

programmed on a channel, the radio will not trans-

mit when a carrier is present. Instead, the radio

will generate short beep three times and indicate

“

ERROR ERROR

ERROR

” on the display. Release the PTT

switch and wait for the channel to be clear of ac-

tivity.

 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 in-

cludes 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 dis-

appear and transmission will cease soon thereafter.

To resume transmitting, you must release the PTT

switch and wait for the “penalty timer” to expire.
