Out Of Range Indicator - Motorola DS3578 Product Reference Manual

Radio Communications 4 - 17

Out of Range Indicator

An out of range indicator can be set by scanning Enable Beep on Reconnect Attempt on page 4-14 and extending
the time using the Reconnect Attempt Interval on page 4-15.
For example, with Beep on Reconnect Attempt disabled while the digital scanner loses radio connection when it is
taken out of range, the digital scanner attempts to reconnect silently during the time interval set by scanning a
Reconnect Attempt Interval.
When Beep on Reconnect Attempt is enabled, the digital scanner emits 5 high beeps every 5 seconds while the
reconnection attempt is in progress. If the Reconnect Attempt Interval is adjusted to a longer period of time, such
as 30 minutes, the digital scanner emits 5 high beeps every 5 seconds for 30 minutes providing an out of range
indicator.
