RADIO OVERVIEW
Alert Tone Indications
Your radio generates a number of audible
tones to indicate radio operating conditions:
•
Low Battery
– A low-battery condition is
indicated by a high-pitched, cricket-like
“chirp-chirp” tone when the
PTT
button 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 authorized Motorola dealer for
service.
•
Transmit on Receive-Only Mode
– If you
press the
PTT
button while tuned to a
“receive-only” mode, you will hear a contin-
uous, low-pitched alert tone, indicating that
no transmission is possible on this mode.
This tone will continue until the
PTT
button
is released.
•
Transmit Inhibit on Busy Mode
– If you
press the
PTT
button when the mode is
busy, you will hear a continuous, low-
pitched alert tone, indicating that no trans-
mission is possible on this mode. This tone
will continue until the
PTT
button is
released.
•
Transmit Inhibit on Low Battery
– If you
press the
PTT
button when the battery is
low, you will hear a continuous, low pitched
alert tone, indicating that transmission is
impossible.
•
Invalid Mode
– A continuous, low-pitched
tone is heard when an invalid or unpro-
grammed operation is attempted on the
radio.
•
Valid (Good) Key Press
– A short,
medium-pitched tone when a keypad key is
pressed indicates that the key press was
accepted.
•
Invalid (Bad) Key Press
– A short, low-
pitched tone when a keypad key is pressed
indicates that the key press was rejected.
