Alert Tones; Power-Up; Carrier Control Timer; Key Press - Ericsson EDACS Monogram Series Operator's Manual

The radio generates a number of alert (beeps) tones to indicate various
events or operating conditions. These alert tones can be enabled or disabled
by programming.

Power-Up

If programmed, a tone will sound on power-up after the radio passes the
self test.

Carrier Control Timer

If the programmed time for continuous transmission is exceeded, five
short high-pitched warning tones followed by a long low-pitched tone will
be heard. The transmitter will shut down shortly after the alert tones are
heard, interrupting communications. Release and re-key the PTT 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 key/button has been
pressed. May be disabled through programming.

TONES FOR TRUNKED OPERATION ONLY

Out-Of-Range

A single pitched tone will sound immediately after the PTT
EDACS
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 a
call. The system may be off the air or the radio requires
servicing when the radio is within the calling range and these
tones are heard.
GE-MARC Five beeps will sound shortly after the PTT 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.
