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
button. If you press and release the
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.
