Audible tones

The radio uses audible tones to alert you to its status:

■

Radio controls and keypress tones—the tones and 

beeps you hear when you press your radio’s keys or 

use the controls.

■

Incoming call tone—when the radio is receiving 

a call.

■

Warning tones—when there is an error, or the 

battery is low, for example.

If quiet or silent mode is turned on, you will not 

hear any alert tones.

Some of the more common audible tones are
