Alert Tone Indications - Motorola MTX8250 User Manual

Alert Tone Indications

Your radio generates a number of audible
tones to indicate radio operating conditions:
• Low Battery – A low-battery condition is
indicated by a high-pitched, cricket-like
"chirp-chirp" tone when the PTT button is
released following a transmission.
• Successful Power-Up – A short, medium-
pitched tone when the radio is first turned
on indicates that the radio has passed its
power-up self test and is ready for use.
• Unsuccessful Power-Up – A short, low-
pitched tone when the radio is first turned
on indicates that the radio has failed its
power-up self test and is not ready for use.
Contact your authorized Motorola dealer for
service.
• Transmit on Receive-Only Mode – If you
press the PTT button while tuned to a
"receive-only" mode, you will hear a contin-
uous, low-pitched alert tone, indicating that
no transmission is possible on this mode.
This tone will continue until the PTT button
is released.
• Transmit Inhibit on Busy Mode – If you
press the PTT button while the mode is
busy, you will hear a continuous, low-
pitched alert tone, indicating that no trans-
mission is possible on this mode. This tone
will continue until the PTT button is
released.
• Transmit Inhibit on Low Battery – If you
press the PTT button when the battery is
low, you will hear a continuous, low pitched
alert tone, indicating that transmission is
impossible.
• Invalid Mode – A continuous, low-pitched
tone is heard when an invalid or unpro-
grammed operation is attempted on the
radio.
• Valid (Good) Key Press – A short,
medium-pitched tone when a keypad key is
pressed indicates that the key press was
accepted.
• Invalid (Bad) Key Press – A short, low-
pitched tone when a keypad key is pressed
indicates that the key press was rejected.
