The Beep function provides you confirmation of entry, error status, and malfunctions of the transceiver.

Although you can turn the beep function OFF by accessing Menu No. 03, we recommend you leave it ON in order to detect unexpected errors and malfunctions. You can also change the output level of the beeps by accessing Menu No. 03 and selecting “1” to “9”.

The transceiver generates the following Morse code to tell you which mode is selected when you change operating modes:

Mode	Morse Code Output
USB	• • –	(U)
LSB	• – • •	(L)
CW	– • – •	(C)
FSK	• – •	(R)
AM	• –	(A)
FM	• • – •	(F)
USB-DATA	• • – – • •	(UD)
LSB-DATA	• – • • – • •	(LD)
CW-R	– • – • • – •	(CR)
FSK-R	• – • • – •	(RR)
FM-NAR	• • – • • –	(FN)
FM-DATA	• • – • – • •	(FD)
FM-NAR-DATA	• • – • – • – • •	(FND)

The transceiver also generates the following warning, confirmation, and malfunction beeps.

Beep Type	Meaning
Short, high pitch	A valid key is pressed.
Double, high pitch	A secondary function is selected.
3 times, high pitch	The third function is accepted.
Long, high pitch	A key entry is accepted, Scan
	starts, or AT tune has completed.
Short, regular	A function is turned OFF.
Short, low pitch	An invalid key is pressed.
Morse “UL”	The internal PLL circuit unlock
	status is detected.
Morse “S”	CW Auto Tune cannot complete,
	or an invalid frequency is entered.
Morse “5”	AT Tune cannot be completed
	within the specified time.
Morse “SWR”	The antenna’s SWR is too high
	(over 10:1) to perform AT tune.
	1 minute before the APO (Auto
	Power Off) function switches the
Morse “CHECK”	transceiver OFF, a protection
	circuit is ON. or an invalid
	voltage is detected.
	Waiting for a CW message to be
Morse “BT”
	recorded.
	The current message memory
Morse “AR”
	is full.
