OTHER OP – 2
AUTO POWER OFF (APO)
Automatic Power off is a background function that
monitors whether or not any operations have been
performed (keys pressed, Tuning control turned, etc.),
and turns the transceiver power off if it has not been in
use.
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu 111.
2 Set the APO time limit to 15, 30, 60 minutes, or “Off”.
• After the time limit passes with no operations (default is
“Off”), APO turns the transceiver power off. However, 1
minute before the power turns off, “APO” appears on the
display and blinks, and a warning tone sounds.
Note:
X If any settings are changed during while APO is ON, the timer
resets. When you stop changing the settings, the timer begins
counting again from 0.
X When the APRS beacon is automatically transmitted (other than
Manual/PTT), the APO timer will not be extended.
