Alert Tones
The Alert Tones entry sets whether or not the transceiver gives an alert tone (beep,
or ring if an external alarm is connected) when it receives a message or a non-message
call.
If you want the transceiver to:
• provide a local alert tone and external alarm when it receives any type of call,
select Normal
• not provide a local alert tone or external alarm when it receives a message call,
select Messages do not ring
• not provide a local alert tone or external alarm when it receives any type of call,
select Disabled
Default value: Normal
Call Status Time
The Call Status Time entry sets the maximum length of time a called station has to
respond to a Get Status call with the information requested.
Range: 0 to 255 sec
Default value: 10 sec
Chain Call Pause
The Chain Call Pause entry sets the length of time the transceiver pauses between
chained calls.
A chain call is started when you hold the key for 2 sec. The transceiver makes the
first call defined in the emergency contact that you select, waits the pause time, then
makes the next call defined in the same emergency contact, and so on, until it makes
the last call defined for this emergency contact.
Range: 0 to 60 sec
Default value: 30 sec
