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 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.

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

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.
