Fall Alert Enhanced
Your radio also supports Fall Alert Enhanced where an alert tone is played for a programmed period.
This tone is louder than the programmed minimum level or the current level of the speaker. This tone
acts as a beacon to help find the radio.
NOTE: The radio plays this alert tone even in Surveillance Mode.
When the alert tone is active, changing to another channel with a different setup triggers a different
response from the radio:
• The alert tone is inhibited when you change to a channel without Emergency feature.
• The alert tone is inhibited when you change to a channel with Emergency but no Fall Alert feature.
• The current alert tone is inhibited and is replaced with a different alert tone when you change to a
channel with Emergency feature and a different Fall Alert configuration.
• The alert tone continues when you change to a channel with Emergency and similar Fall Alert
configuration.
