keys at the factory. The user may change these key function assignments, if quick access to another function is desired. Note: For details, refer to the Advanced Manual (download from the Yaesu website). Keyboard Beeper A key/button beeper provides useful audible feedback whenever a key/button is pressed. If you want to turn the beeper off (or back on again). Note: If you want to turn the beeper off (or back on again), see Setup Menu Item BEP KEY 3 on 42. Display Brightness You can adjust the display brightness. Note: See Setup Menu Item LCD DMMR 23 on 43. Time-Out-Timer (TOT) The Time-Out Timer (TOT) feature is designed to force the transceiver into the receive mode after a preset time period of continuous transmission (the default is 3 minutes). Note: See Setup Menu Item TOT 48 on 44. Automatic Power Off (APO) The Automatic Power-Off (APO) feature will turn the radio completely off after a user defined period of PTT or key/button inactivity. Note: See Setup Menu Item APO 1 on 42. Busy Channel Lock-Out (BCLO) The BCLO feature prevents the transmitter from being activated whenever a signal strong enough to break through the noise squelch is present on the frequency. Note: See Setup Menu Item BCLO 2 on 42. TX Deviation Level You can reduce the receiver bandwidth and transmit deviation when operating on closely spaced frequencies (channel spacing of 12.5 or 15 kHz). The reduced transmitter devia-

tion will minimize adjacent channel interference to other users. Note: See Setup Menu Item W/N DEV 55 on 44. MIC Gain Setting At the factory, the microphone gain has been programmed so that it should be satisfac-

tory for the supplied MH-48A6JA Microphone. If you use an after-market microphone or connect a TNC, you may wish to set a different Mic Gain level. Note: See Setup Menu Item MIC GAIN 25 on 43.
