ALERT TONES The Dual Format PCS  radio generates a num ber of alert tones to indicate various events. The following section describes the alert tones for the Dual Format PCS  radio. Standard Tones Power-Up If programmed, a tone will sound on power-up after the radio passes the self-test. Low Battery A low pitch tone will sound every 130 secon[...]

Call Received If programmed, a single alert tone sounds when a group call is received and a two tone alert (one high followed by one low tone) is sounded for an individual call. Call Queued (EDACS Only) If one short, high pitched tone sounds after the transmitter is keyed, this indicates that the system has placed the request in a queue. This tone [...]

Out Of Range/System In op erative EDACS - A single low pitched tone will sound immediately after the PTT switch is keyed indicating the radio is out of range of the repeater . The radio tries to place the call for a short period (3 seconds) after the initial attempt. The radio generates a second low pitched tone when it gives up trying to place the[...]
