Out Of Range/System Inoperative
EDACS - A single low pitched tone will sound immediately after the
PTT switch is keyed indicating the radio is out of range of the repeater.
The radio tries to place the call for a short period (3 seconds) after the
initial attempt. The radio generates a second low pitched tone when it
gives up trying to place the call. The system is off the air or the radio
needs servicing when the radio is within calling range, and these tones
are heard.
GE-MARC - Five beeps will sound shortly after the PTT switch is keyed
when the radio is out of range of the repeater or the radio is inoperative.
If the "Call Retry is active, the radio will try the channel at twenty second
intervals for five minutes.
ERROR MESSAGES
E3 - If at anytime the Synthesizer is unable to load and lock on
the channel properly an "E3" message will be displayed in the
System field and the Group/Channel field will be blanked. If the
"E3" message is displayed on all systems, the radio has failed
or has not been programmed properly. The radio’s buttons and
keys will still operate with an "E3" message displayed.
E9 - "E9" message indicates the Personality has not been
programmed into the radio.
