Alert Tone Indicators

 

Low Battery Alert

 

If the battery is low on your radio, an audible alert tone 
alerts you during transmit or receive mode. During transmit, 
on the release of the PTT button, the radio emits 2 medium 
pitched chirps. During receive/standby mode, the radio 
emits 2 medium pitched chirps. These tones emit approxi-
mately every 20 minutes during transmit or receive mode 
until the battery is completely drained of power.
