Fire Tone-Out

Your scanner can be set to respond to fire tone-outs, a system comprised of standardized two-tone sequential paging, short one-tone paging, and long group tone paging. You can save up to 10 settings. When you select a setting in standby mode, the scanner also monitors for any other setting that uses the same transmit frequency, modulation, and attenuation settings. To quickly switch to Fire Tone-Out mode, press F and then [SQ].

You need tone-out setup information from the agency you wish to monitor. Check with your local agency or on-line resources as Uniden America Corporation has no information regarding local tone-out systems.

Setting Tone-Out Standby

[MENU] Tone-Out for... F Tone-Out Standby F

Turn the Scroll Control to select which of the ten tone-outs to monitor. Or, while holding on any channel, press F then [SQ] to quickly switch to Tone-Out Standby, then rotate scroll to select the settings to monitor. All tone-outs that have the same frequency, modulation, and attenuation setting as the one you select, are also monitored.

In standby mode, the display cycles through all monitored tone-out settings. Regardless of the current display, the scanner always alerts on any received tone-out that matches a stored setting.

If you press [HOLD/RESUME] while in standby mode, the scanner temporarily exits the mode and you hear all transmissions on that frequency. No alerts sound, even if a tone-out matches one you have stored. Press [HOLD/RESUME] again to return to standby mode.
