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. (You can turn these tones off—see
“Turning off radio controls and keypress tones” on
page 82.)
■ Incoming call tone—when the radio is receiving
a call.
■ Warning tones—when there is an error.
Note: If quiet or silent mode is turned on, you will not
hear any alert tones. See
“Customizing the audible alert
settings” on page 81.
Some of the more common audible tones are
