Using Tone-out

Fire Tone-Out Introduction

Your scanner can be set to respond to fire tone-outs that use standard 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.

You need tone-out setup information from the agency you wish to monitor. Check with your local agency or on-line resources.

Note: The Fire Tone-Out feature is not used in Australia or New Zealand.

Tone-Out Standby

Turn the scroll control to select the tone-out 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 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 again to return to standby mode.
