A friendly tone is emitted when any of the 8 keys are pressed. A 3-beep error tone is emitted
if the key press is not allowed. Some functions require a holding down of a key. A single beep
is emitted, then after the hold down timeout, a second friendly beep will be heard and the mode
entered. See the example under Priority Channel Set below.

MMSID Set :

Your MMSID number is like your home phone number. Other DSC rdios must enter your number
before they can call you. Likewise, you must enable your radio to recognize your own MMSID.
You only have 1 chance to enter the MMSID into your radio. Please study this section and do it
properly.
In case that the MMSID number is not set up, "ID" annunciator on the main screen will blink.
