Fire Tone-Out Introduction

Your scanner can be set to respond to fire tone-outs, a system comprised of standardized two-tone sequential paging, short one-
tone paging, and long group tone paging. You can save up to 10 settings. When you select a setting in standby mode, the scanner
also monitors for any other setting that uses the same transmit frequency, modulation, and attenuation settings.
You need tone-out setup information from the agency you wish to monitor. Check with your local agency or on-line resources as
Uniden America Corporation has no information regarding local tone-out systems.
