D Beep tone function “bP”
You can select silent operation by turning the beep tones
OFF, or you can have 2 types of confirmation beeps sound
at the push of a switch. When ON is selected, a fixed beep
(Pi) sounds, and when US is selected, the preset beeps (e.g.
do, re, mi) sound.
• Beep tone synchronises with the volume level.
• The beeps sound during call channel programming and a weather
alert tone indication even if this function is turned OFF.
D Weather alert function “AL”
An NOAA broadcast station transmits a weather alert tone
before any important weather announcements. When the
weather alert function is turned ON, the transceiver detects
the alert, the alert indicator (“ALT”) blinks and sounds a
beep tone until the transceiver is operated. The previously
selected (used) weather channel is checked any time during
standby, or while scanning, when the power save function is
activated.
• “ALT” appears when the function is set ON.
D Priority scan function “Pr”
The transceiver has 2 scan types—normal (OFF) and prior-
ity (ON) scans. Normal scan searches all tag channels in the
selected channel group. Priority scan searches all tag chan-
nels in sequence while monitoring Channel 16.
