Aurora User’s Manual
BUILT-IN FEATURES
The BK Radio Aurora radio is based on a microprocessor core
that allows extra features and operational characteristics to be
programmed into your radio. Your dealer can help define the
best operational settings for your system and program them into
the radio.
AUDIO
Beeps, Boops, and Warbles
You can program your Aurora radio through the function menu
so that the radio can make five different sounds to notify you of
different radio functions:
Beeps
The beep is a tone of 1560 Hz. You will hear the beep:
• When you press a key on the keypad when you are in
normal or keypad programming mode
• When you use the channel knob to select a different
channel.
• When you press a valid key in the function menu (no
beep for invalid key presses)
• When your radio reaches the low battery threshold level
number 1. You will hear a single beep every 30 seconds
until you turn the radio off.
Boops
The boop is a lower tone of 780 Hz. You will hear a boop when
the radio encounters an illegal condition, including the
following:
•
When you try to transmit on a busy channel that has an
incorrect Code Guard tone with the BCL option set
• When you try to transmit on a receive only channel
• When you try to tune a blank (unprogrammed) channel
• When you press an invalid key while in the function menu
