ALERT TONES

The Dual Format PCS

radio generates a number of alert tones to

indicate various events. The following section describes the alert tones for
the Dual Format PCS

radio.

Standard Tones

Power-Up

If programmed, a tone will sound on power-up after the radio passes

the self-test.

Low Battery

A low pitch tone will sound every 130 seconds when the battery is low

and needs charging.

Carrier Control Timer

The Carrier Control Timer (CCT) alert is a pulsed tone signal that

sounds whenever the PTT button is continuously pressed for a prepro-
grammed length of time. After nine seconds of pulsing the transmitter shuts
down and communications is interrupted. To maintain communications,
release and re-key the PTT switch. This resets the timer and turns the
transmitter back on. The CCT is a built-in precaution against inadvertent use
of the system.

Tones For Trunked Operation Only

Call Originate

EDACS - If programmed, a short tone is sounded whenever the
Push-To-Talk (PTT) button is keyed and the radio has acquired a
channel. This tone indicates the user may proceed to talk.

GE-MARC - If programmed, a three tone alert is sounded whenever
the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button is keyed and the radio has acquired a
channel. This tone indicates the user may proceed to talk.
