complete, the transceiver returns to the previous system/group. If a
message is still present, it is received.
When a priority system/group is sampled while listening to a
message on some other system/group, a series of “ticks” may be heard.
These ticks are brief interruptions of the audio signal that occur when
sampling takes place.
If the menu mode PRIORITY parameter (see page 32) or the PRI
option switch is available, priority sampling can be turned on and off.
When it is enabled by the switch, “PRI ON” is flashed, and if it is
disabled, “PRI OFF” is flashed. If this menu parameter or switch is not
available, priority sampling is either enabled or disabled by program-
ming.
NOTE: Priority sampling occurs only on conventional systems and only
when scanning is enabled by the SCAN switch. It does not occur when
listening to an LTR call or when transmitting.

The following tones are heard at various times when operating this
transceiver. Some or all of these tones can be disabled by the TONES
menu parameter or programming. Refer to “Tone Select” on page 30 for

Busy Tone - This tone is similar to the standard telephone busy tone, and
it indicates that the radio system is currently busy. It sounds with all LTR
calls, but not conventional calls. Repeated access attempts are made
while the PTT switch is pressed with this tone sounding. Therefore, the
PTT switch does not need to be released to access the system. The display
indicates “BUSY” while this tone is sounding.
Intercept Tone - This is a siren-like tone (alternating high and low tones)
which indicates the following out-of-range and error conditions:
