PIP/BEEP TONE ALERT PATTERN MULTITONE BEEP
CODE
Single Beep 2
Double Beep 3
Triple Beep 1
Continuous Beep 4
Single Pip 6
Double Pip 7
Triple Pip 5*
Continuous Pip 8*
Silent Alert 9
Note: * Beep codes 5 & 8 override the Escalert and mute modes. The alert is full volume
for the whole of the programmed alert period.
Table 2: Beep Alert Patterns & Beep Codes MK6 & MK7
Standard alert Beep and Pip tones are single 2.7kHz tones, timed at 125ms for a single
Pip and 500ms for a single Beep, with equal periods between each tone (125ms &
500ms) for multiple cadence alerts e.g. double beep, triple beep etc.
An optional two frequency "warble tone" is also available, which consists of alternate
67.5ms periods of 2.1kHz and 2.7kHz tones. This tone will also follow the cadence
patterns for the different alert types.
For the POCSAG variant up to 8 cadence patterns are available, which may be mapped to
each RIC and function code.
2.4.7 Cancelling Alerts
An alert may be cancelled by pressing the CANCEL button, which will terminate the LED,
tone and/or vibration alerts, but any message will be replayed from the beginning. The
cancel operation also deletes the new status from the call (see 2.4.13), but un-cancelled
calls will retain their new status until they have been fully displayed in memory replay
mode.
2.4.8 Escalating Alerts
Alert escalation (Escalert) is a software programmable option, which may be set to
commence at any point in the sequence shown in Table 3. If the vibrate option has been
selected, then this will be included at every stage in the alert, with a cadence of 2s on, 2s
off.
If the pager is in the mute mode, then the alert tone will be suppressed from the
sequences in Table 3. The Escalert option is overridden when beep codes 5 & 8 are
received (MK6/7), or RIC B (emergency override) (POCSAG) in this case, the pager will
immediately commence an alert at the stage 3 level.
