This system is designed to inform you when you and another ARTS™-equipped 

station are within communication range.
During ARTS™ operation, when the radio receives an incoming ARTS™ signal, 

a short beep will sound. If you move out of range for more than two minutes, your 

radio senses that no signal has been received; a short triple-beep will sound. If you 

subsequently move back into communication range, as soon as the other station 

transmits, a short beep will sound again.
