default setting is repeat. In this play mode, the Patriot will play the selected sound non-stop. In single play
mode the sound will play a single time then stop. In jukebox mode the sounds play a single time,

5-5 Sound Settings: Fav Mute OR
During normal operation, if the Patriot is muted and you play a favorite, the preset is queued for playback,
but it cannot be heard until the caller is un-muted. Favorite mute override will take care of this and
eliminate the need for un-muting the sound upon preset activation. It works by initially checking to see if
mute is active and, if it is, un-mute the unit prior to initiating playback of the preset sound. This is especially
useful for FOXBANG operation. Turning on preset mute override can be done by accessing the Sound
Settings, highlighting the “Fav Mt. O/R” menu item, pushing “Select”, then using the “Sound Up” or “Sound
Down” to toggle between off and on. Push “Select” a final time to lock it in.
