“WHEN TO BEEP” OPTIONS
The
SP400RF
provides many options for programming the scanner's
audible beep. The beeper may be programmed to be silent1, or may be
required to announce one or multiple communication events as they
occur between the scanner, Base Station and host terminal.
NOTE

Before programming this option, ensure that

your selection is compatable with your

scanner's setting for "When to Acknowledge"

on the previous two pages.
