If CTCSS or Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) Lockout 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. 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. 14 VX-450 SERIES OPERATING MANUAL NOTE VX-450 SERIES OPERATING MANUAL 15 ADVANCED OPERATION Programmable Key Functions All versions of the VX-450 include the TOP SEL, SIDE-1, and SIDE-2 key.
