Alert Tone Indications (cont.)

Call Alert™ (Page) Received – A group of four medium-pitched tones every five seconds indicates that your radio has received a Call Alert page.

Call Alert™ (Page) Sent – A single medium-pitched tone (central acknowledge), followed by a group of four medium-pitched tones indicates that a Call Alert page sent by your radio has been received by the target radio.

Private Conversation™ Call Received – A group of two medium-pitched tones (800MHz radios only) indicates that your radio has received a Private Conversation call. For all other frequency radios and for enhanced Private Conversation, this sequence will be repeated every five seconds for approximately 20 seconds

Trunked System Busy (Trunked Systems Only) – A “bah-bah-bah-bah” tone when a trunked system is accessed indicates that all available modes are busy and the radio is in queue for the next available mode.

Call Back (Trunked Systems Only} – A group of three medium-pitched tones (di-di-dit) indicates that a talkgroup is now available for your previously requested transmission.

Keyfail (SECURENET-Equipped Radios Only) – Indicates when there is a problem with transmitting in encrypted (SECURENET) operation, due to loss of the encryption key. If programmed and the key is lost or erased, a group of six beeps sounds immediately. In addition, if the two-position concentric

switch is in the SECURENET ( ) position: (a) if programmed, and the PTT switch is not being pressed, the radio will sound six beeps every 5 to 10 seconds, or (b) if the PTT switch is being pressed, the radio will sound continuous beeps until the PTT switch is released, after which (if programmed) it will sound six beeps every 5 to 10 seconds. This will continue until the two-position concentric switch is moved to the clear ( ) position, a clear-only mode is selected, or the key is reloaded.

Consecutive medium-pitched tones during a secure transmission indicate that there is a problem with encrypted (SECURENET) operation due to loss of the encryption key.

Six medium-pitched tones every 5 to 10 seconds while the radio is not transmitting also serve as a reminder that there is a problem with encrypted (SECURENET) operation. The keyfail reminder will sound when the radio is in clear-only operation, which can be selected either by switching to a preprogrammed clear-only mode or by moving the two-position concentric switch to the clear ( ) position on a secure-/clear-selectable mode.

Six medium-pitched tones when the radio is first turned on also indicate that there is a problem with encrypted (SECURENET) operation.

Keyfail tones will not sound once the key has been reloaded.

Clear Operation (SECURENET-Equipped Radios Only) – If the radio is so programmed, one beep immediately after the PTT switch is pressed will indicate that your transmission is clear (non-encrypted).
