Alert Tone Indications
The MTS 2000 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” when the PTT switch 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 service representative for service.
•
Transmit on Receive-Only Mode – If you press the PTT switch while tuned to a
“receive-only” mode, you will hear a continuous, low-pitched alert tone,
indicating that no transmission is possible on this mode. This tone will continue
until the PTT switch is released.
•
Transmit Inhibit on Busy Mode – If you press the PTT switch while the mode is
busy, you will hear a continuous, low-pitched alert tone, indicating that no
transmission is possible on this mode. This tone will continue until the PTT
switch is released.
•
Invalid Mode – A continuous, low-pitched tone is heard when an invalid or
unprogrammed 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.
•
Emergency Alarm Entry – A short, medium-pitched tone when the emergency
button is pressed indicates that the radio has entered the emergency mode.
•
Emergency Alarm/Call Exit – A continuous, medium-pitched tone when the
radio is in the emergency mode indicates that the radio has exited the
emergency mode.
•
Failsoft (Trunked Systems Only) – A faint “beeping” tone every ten seconds
indicates that the radio is operating in the failsoft mode.
•
Time-Out Timer Warning – Your radio’s time-out timer limits the length of your
transmission time. When you are pressing the PTT switch (transmitting), a
short, low-pitched warning tone will sound four seconds before the allotted
time will expire.
•
Time-Out Timer Timed-Out – If you hold down the PTT switch longer than the
time-out timer’s allotted time, a continuous, low-pitched tone will sound,
indicating that your transmission has been cut off. This tone will continue until
the PTT switch is released.
•
Phone Busy – A “bah-bah-bah-bah” tone when telephone interconnect is
accessed indicates that all available modes are busy and the radio is in queue
for the next available phone line.
