ALERT TONES, Continued
tones are heard, interrupting communications. Release and
re-key the P-T-T button to maintain communications. This will
reset the carrier control timer and turn the transmitter back on.
Key Press:
A short low-pitched tone sounds to indicate a
button has been pressed.
TRUNKED OPERATION TONES - Out-Of-Range:
EDACS: A single low-pitched tone will sound immediately
after the P-T-T button is pressed, indicating the radio is out
of range of the repeater. The radio will try to place a call for
a short period (3 seconds) after the initial attempt. The radio
will generate a second low-pitched tone when it gives up
trying to place the call. The system may be off the air or the
radio may require servicing if the radio is within the calling
range and these tones are heard.
GE-MARC: Five beeps will sound shortly after the P-T-T button
is pressed when the radio is out of range of the repeater or the
radio is inoperative. If the "Call Retry" is active, the radio will
try the channel at twenty second intervals for five minutes.
TRUNKED OPERATION TONES - System Busy:
EDACS: Three short, medium-pitched tones will sound when
the P-T-T button is pressed to indicate that the receiving party
is already engaged in another call or the system is busy and
its queue is full. You must re-key later to access the system.
GE-MARC: A low pitched tone will sound when the P-T-T
button is pressed to indicate that all channels are busy.
