Audible tones
The radio uses audible tones to alert you to its status:
■
Radio controls and keypress tones—the tones
and beeps you hear when you press your radio’s
keys or use the controls.
■
Incoming call tone—when the radio is receiving
a call.
■
Warning tones—when there is an error.
Warning If quiet or silent mode is turned on, you will
