Status Indicators and Audible Alert Tones Your S5 has a sophisticated microprocessor control which provides a series of audible alert tones. 
Upon initial power up, a quick melody indicates that the self-test of the microprocessor functions 
has been completed satisfactorily. A series of tones may be sounded with any of the following 
conditions: 
 Attempt to transmit on a channel set for receive only 
 Attempt to transmit on a channel that is already in use when busy channel lockout has been 
programmed on the radio* 
 Transmitting time has exceeded time-out timer programmed length* 
 Low battery condition 
 Selecting a channel with no programmed frequency 
* Indicates a function that is initially programmed into the radio by your Maxon Dealer. 
NOTE: All audible tones can be programmed for silent operation.
