 What the Beeping Means
1.) If the network is clear, you won’t hear anything when
you depress the Push-to-Talk button. Just hold the
button down and talk, then release the button.
2.) If you hear 3 rapid beeps, the network is too busy to
transmit or even queue your call. You cannot place a
call in this situation. Wait a few seconds and try your
call again.
3.) If you hear a 3-beep sequence (Medium tone /
Medium tone / High tone), the network has
acknowledged your request for clearance and placed
your call in the queue.
When the network becomes available, the radio will
automatically transmit for 10 seconds and the
Indicator light will blink red.
The network can now accept your call. Depress and
hold the Push-to-Talk button and speak.
