4.5 ADJUSTING SIDE TONE AUDIO LEVEL
The radio sounds confirming tones called “side tones” when its buttons are pressed. Most users find this
audible confirmation helpful when navigating the menus. Side tone audio level can be adjusted or turned
completely off using the “Side Menu.”
For covert operations, it may be necessary to turn off side tones. For safety’s sake, turning off the radio
during covert operations is not recommended.
Neither activating Stealth Mode nor turning side tones off will eliminate the tones
sounded when adjusting the volume of the radio. Use volume control with caution
when operating covertly.
To temporarily disable the side tones that could expose the user’s presence and position, use the menu
buttons to access the “Side Menu” and select “Off” from the menu choices (Figure 4-4).
If the radio is operating properly but side tones are not heard when the menu buttons are pressed, the side
tones are probably turned off. To turn them back on, access the “Side Tone” menu and select a setting
other than “off.”
Use the following procedure set side tone level:
1. Use the ▲ and ▼ buttons to cycle through the menu until the “Side Menu” appears in the bottom
line of the display.
2. Use the ◄ or ► buttons to change to the desired level (Off, Low, Medium, or High). To turn side
tones completely off, use the “Off” setting.
3. Press the Select button to confirm and begin using the side tone level setting. The dwell display
will appear when the radio begins using the new setting.
