The
SP400RF
provides many options for programming the scanner's
audible beep. The beeper may be programmed to be silent

, or may be
required to announce one or multiple communication events as they
occur between the scanner, Base Station and host terminal.
NOTE
Before programming this option, ensure that
your selection is compatable with your
scanner's setting for "When to Acknowledge"
on the previous two pages.
