“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.

Table 1 describes the tone(s), duration and number of repetitions for all SP400RF beep signals and indicates user programmability of the feature.

Tone — is the frequency of the beep measured in Hertz, with the lowest tone sounded at 512 Hz and the highest at 4096 Hz.
