ALERT TONES

The MDX Conventional mobile radio generates a set of unique alert tones to indicate operating status. The following section identifies and describes the alert tones used in the MDX radio.

SELF CHECK

One beep is sounded after the radio is turned on to

TEST ALERT

indicate that the radio has passed the self diagnostic

 

test. Optional in PC programmer.

CALL DISABLED

You will hear a continuous low pitched tone when

ALERT

your radio is set to a receive (decode) only channel

 

and you press PTT on the microphone. This tone

 

indicates that you are not allowed to place a call on

 

this setting.

CARRIER CONTROL

The Carrier Control Timer alert is a pulsing pitched

TIMER

tone you will hear whenever you have kept the PTT

 

button continuously pressed for a preprogrammed

 

length of time. The transmitter shuts down when

 

the pulsing low pitched tone starts, interrupting

 

communications. To maintain communications,

 

release and re-key the microphone. This resets the

 

timer and turns the transmitter back on. The CCT

 

is a built in precaution against extended use of the

 

system.

T99 CALL RECEIVED

After decoding a T99 call, the received signalling

 

2-tone is sounded to alert you of the incoming call.
