Azden AZ-61 6m FM HT - Tip #6 - Automatic Power-Off

This is an article in a series regarding the Azden AZ-61 6m FM Transceiver.

Joey, W5TFW, sent me an email asking is there is a timer on the AZ-61 and how to disable it.  The functions on the AZ-61 are a challenge to operate without instructions.  Thank you Joey for your questions.  Hope the information below helps you master the automatic power-off function on your AZ-61.

Automatic Power-Off Overview

  • The automatic power-off function, when enabled, will automatically switch off a preset amount of time after the last transmission.
  • One minute before the switch-off, an alarm is given.
  • The automatic power-off delay is adjustable: 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 50 minutes, 60 minutes, or 120 minutes.
  • The initialized power-off delay is set to 60 minutes.
  • After the automatic power-off function has switched off the radio, the radio can be turned back on by turning the power off, waiting 5 seconds, and then turning the radio back on.

  • Press FUN + APOF to activate the automatic power-off function.
  • APO will be displayed if automatic power-off is activated.
