Target Tone

The Target Tone Setting controls the number of different tones you will hear for different
types of targets and the number of adjustable Tone Regions for Advanced Settings.
Target Tone allows you to divide the Target ID range
into separate Tone Regions. Therefore, you can hear
more or less target information.
The Target Tone setting has the options of 1, 2, 5 and 50.
Target Tone adjustment is local; only the current
Detect Mode Search Profile will be affected by
changes to this setting.
Gold Mode* has a Target Tone setting of 1 only, and
cannot be changed.

Tones
1. Use the Settings button to navigate to Target Tone
in the Settings Menu.

number of audio tones of 1, 2, 5 or 50.

When the Target Tone setting is changed, the options in the Advanced Settings of Tone Volume, Tone
Pitch, and Tone Break also change.
