Auto Mute Mode
Auto Mute will automatically reduce the
audio volume of all alerts after 4 seconds
for as long as the signal is detected. When
you turn Auto Mute on or off while in Voice
Alert™ mode, you will hear “Auto Mute on"
or “Auto Mute off.” In Tone mode, you will
hear 2 beeps for Auto Mute on and 1 beep
for Auto Mute off. (See page 7 for
instructions on using the Program mode
to select Auto Mute.)
The factory setting for Auto Mute is ON.
Muting an Alert
Your ESD-9860 allows you to quickly
turn off an audio alert by momentarily
pressing and releasing the PROG/MUTE

PROG/MUTE button a second time
during the alert, the audio alert will be
turned back on.
Voice/Tone Setting
You can set your ESD-9860 to sound
alerts and confirm user settings with
either a voice or a tone. When you
turn Voice Alert™ on, you will hear
“Voice Alert.” When you turn Tone Alert
on, you will hear “Tone Alert” and
subsequent voice alerts will be turned
off. (See page 7 for instructions on
changing the Voice/Tone setting.)
The factory setting is Voice Alert™ mode.
