Fire Tone-Out Introduction
Your scanner can be set to respond to fire tone-outs, a system comprised of standardized two-tone sequential paging, short one-
tone paging, and long group tone paging. You can save up to 10 settings. When you select a setting in standby mode, the scanner
also monitors for any other setting that uses the same transmit frequency, modulation, and attenuation settings.
You need tone-out setup information from the agency you wish to monitor. Check with your local agency or on-line resources as
Uniden America Corporation has no information regarding local tone-out systems.
Setting Tone-Out Standby
[MENU] Tone-Out for... ◙
Tone-Out Standby ◙
Turn the Scroll Control
to select which of the ten tone-outs to monitor. All tone-outs that have the same frequency, modulation,
and attenuation setting as the one you select, are also monitored.
In standby mode, the display cycles through all monitored tone-out settings. Regardless of the current display, the scanner always
alerts on any received tone-out that matches a stored setting.
If you press [HOLD/RESUME] while in standby mode, the scanner temporarily exits the mode and you hear all transmissions on that
frequency. No alerts sound, even if a tone-out matches one you have stored. Press [HOLD/RESUME] again to return to standby
mode.
