interruption due to abnormalities, facilitating the user. This feature is helpful when there is
no one on duty.
The CPS path to configure this feature is via General Setting -> Setting -> Auto Power On.

- PTT Call Hang Time

With this feature enabled, after the PTT transmission ends, the repeater will reserve the
channel for a preset duration (the duration is set according to the call type). Within this
duration, any member can hold the PTT key to call or call back. The PTT Call Hang Time
parameter shall be identical with the call hang time settings for the repeater.
