Site Selectable Alerts (ASTRO 25)

A Site Selectable Alert (SSA) is an Intelligent Lighting
indicator together with audio alert sent to radios at a
site or a few sites to notify the users when there is a
special situation that they need to be aware of. Only
authorized radios are enabled to send SSA.
Upon the activation of a SSA, the receiving radios
display the alert alias and generate the periodic alert
tone.
Note: Alert alias, alert tone, and alert period can be
preprogrammed. Alert period is the duration for the
radio to repeat the alert tone. An interval of 5 seconds
might impact the battery life of the radio. Check with
your dealer or system administrator for more details.
When mixing SSA with received voice audio, the SSA
alert is reduced in volume to ensure that the voice
message is still heard clearly. Therefore, it is
important that the SSA audio files are created with
clear loud audio to ensure they can still be heard
clearly when played at reduced levels.
