PROGRAMMABLE HORN ALERT FUNCTIONS
External Alarms
The car horn alert option can be programmed to give one of three alarms.
These are
1. A single 1 second alarm.
2. Three half second alarm pulses
3. Continuous alarm.
The first two are best suited for a horn function. The third option is
better suited for a light.
Resetting the Car Horn Alert
There are two ways of resetting the Car Horn Alert function. The default
is to reset the Car Horn Alert function when the Type 99 decoder is reset.
When this option is selected, a Type 99 Individual Call will activate the
alarm. However, subsequent Type 99 Individual Calls while the radio is
in Monitor Mode will not activate the alarm.
The second option is to automatically reset the Car Horn Alarm. When
this is selected, every Type 99 Individual Call will activate the alarm.
Even Type 99 Individual Calls while the radio is in Monitor Mode will
activate the alarm.
Car Horn Alert Ignition A+ Option
The radio can be programmed to ignore the Car Horn Alert function
when Ignition A+ is present. Ignition A+ is usually connected to the
vehicle's ignition switch and is used to indicate when the vehicle's engine
is running.
The usual purpose of the Car Horn Alert option is to provide a
notification to somebody outside the vehicle that they have an important
call. When the person is inside the vehicle and able to hear the Type 99
alert tones, the horn alert feature becomes undesirable. This option
provides an automatic means of disabling it while keeping it active for
when the person is out of the vehicle.
