SUPERVISORY TONES

If this tone sounds after the transmit indicator flashes several times and “NO SITE” appears in the display, an out-of-radio-range condition is indicated. To complete a call, you may need to get closer to your radio system. Once this tone sounds, no more access attempts are made until the push-to-talk switch is released and then pressed again.

If this tone sounds after the transmitter has been on for an extended period and “TX TIME” also appears in the display, the transmitter has been disabled by the time-out timer feature. Refer to page 25 for more information.

If this tone sounds as soon as the push-to-talk switch is pressed and “TX DSBL” appears in the display, a channel is selected in the conventional mode that is programmed as receive-only. Refer to page 31 for more information.

Clear-To-Talk Tone

This is a short tone which sounds when the push-to-talk switch is pressed. It indicates that the system has been successfully accessed and speaking can begin. This tone does not sound if the radio system is busy or if the selected system is programmed for conventional operation. Refer to “Clear-To-Talk” on page 24 for more information.

Key Press Tone

This is a short tone that sounds when a key is pressed. This tone can be enabled and disabled by turning power on with the SCN key pressed.

NOTE: The following tones are heard only when making telephone calls.

Confirmation Tone

This is a short tone that sounds when the number just dialed is accepted by the system.
