Alert Tones

The MTX-810 radio generates the following audible tones to indicate radio
operating conditions:
A low-pitched
unprogrammed operation is attempted, for example:
1)
2)
A cricket-like "chirp-chirp" heard when the PTT is released
indicates that the battery charge is getting low. This tone will
also sound every two minutes when the radio is idle.
A low-pitched "baaaah" tone heard while transmitting indicates
that the present transmission will be cut off in four seconds.
Quickly release the PTT and press it again to cancel the tone
and finish transmitting your message.
A "chirp" tone is heard when the keypad buttons are pressed
to indicate the key press is accepted.
A "bonk" tone is heard when the keypad buttons are pressed to
indicate the key press is rejected.
A tone is heard when the volume set button is pressed. This
tone can be used together with the volume control to adjust
the radio receiver volume level. The tone continues for one
second after the button is released.
Trunked Systems Only
A high-pitched "di-di-dit" tone heard when the PTT is pressed
indicates that a channel grant has been received from the
trunking controller and the radio can transmit.
A continuous "bah-bah-bah" tone heard when the PTT is
pressed indicates that the system is busy (no voice channels
are available). Release the PTT and wait for a Call Back tone.
This is the same as the Talk Permit tone. It is heard following a
Dispatch Busy when a voice channel becomes available. When
the Call Back tone is heard, press the PTT to transmit.
A continuous "baaaah" tone heard when the PTT is pressed
indicates that there is no response from the trunking
controller; transmission is not possible. The radio may be out-
of-range or not authorized to access the trunked system.
"baaaah" tone is heard when an invalid or

authorized to access the telephone network (trunked
models).
