ARTS Polling Time Options
The ARTS™ feature may be programmed to poll every 25 seconds (default value) or 15
seconds. The default value provides maximum battery conservation, because the polling
signal is sent out less frequently. To change the polling interval:
1. Press and hold in the [ H/L ] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 3: AR INT.
3. Press the [ H/L ] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Set Mode Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired polling interval (15 or 25 seconds).
5. When you have made your selection, press the PTT key to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
ARTS™ Alert Beep Options
The ARTS™ feature allows two kinds of alert beeps (with the additional option of turning
them off), so as to alert you to the current status of ARTS™ operation. Depending on your
location and the potential annoyance associated with frequent beeps, you may choose the
Beep mode which best suits your needs. The choices are:
IN RNG:
The beeps are issued only when the radio first confirms that you are within
range, but does not re-confirm with beeps thereafter.
ALWAYS: Every time a polling transmission is received from the other station, the
alert beeps will be heard.
OFF:
No alert beeps will be heard; you must look at the display to confirm cur-
rent ARTS™ status.
To set the ARTS™ Beep mode, use the following procedure:
1. Press and hold in the [ H/L ] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 2: AR BEP.
3. Press the [ H/L ] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Set Mode Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired ARTS™ Beep mode (see above).
5. When you have made your selection, press the PTT key to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
