Alert Tone Indications

Your radio generates a number of audible tones to
indicate radio operating conditions:
• Low Battery – A low-battery condition is indi-
cated by a high-pitched, cricket-like "chirp-chirp"
when the PTT switch is released following a
transmission.
• Successful Power-Up – A short, medium-pitched
tone when the radio is first turned on indicates
that the radio has passed its power-up self test
and is ready for use.
• Unsuccessful Power-Up – A short, low-pitched
tone when the radio is first turned on indicates
that the radio has failed its power-up self test
and is not ready for use. Contact your service
representative for service.
• Transmit on Receive-Only Mode – If you press
the PTT switch while tuned to a "receive-only"
mode, you will hear a continuous, low-pitched
alert tone, indicating that no transmission is pos-
sible on this mode. This tone will continue until
the PTT switch is released.
• Transmit Inhibit on Busy Mode – If you press the
PTT switch while the mode is busy, you will hear
a continuous, low-pitched alert tone, indicating
that no transmission is possible on this mode.
This tone will continue until the PTT switch is
released.
• Transmit Inhibit on Flat Battery – If you press the
PTT while the battery is flat, you will hear a con-
tinuous, low pitched alert tone, indicating that
transmission is impossible.
• Invalid Mode – A continuous, low-pitched tone is
heard when an invalid or unprogrammed opera-
tion is attempted on the radio.
