P7300 Alert Tones

1 low tone/2 high tones indicate the call is
queued for processing.

3 short tones indicate the radio is out of the
coverage area or the requested voice group is
active.

1 short beep is sounded when resources
become available for a call request placed in
the queue (if enabled) upon channel access.

If the radio roams to a second site while
transmitting, it will auto rekey and begin
transmitting on the second tower. The radio
sounds a second grant tone to let the user
know they have roamed.

1 long low-pitched tone notifies the user that
access to the channel has been lost (out of
coverage area or preempted by higher-priority
call).

1 low-pitched tone/1 short mid-pitched tone
indicate low battery charge.

4 short tones - one low, two high, one low: are
played once to indicate a selective alert has
been received.

3 medium beeps are sounded when an
emergency alert is declared.

1 long low-pitched tone is sounded when an
emergency is cleared.

A ringing tone similar to a telephone. Ringing
is repeated every four seconds until the call is
accepted or rejected by the radio being called
or until the network drops the call if
unanswered after one minute.

2 short beeps indicate the radio is connected
to the V-TAC in XCOV, XCOV-TG, or XCOV­Prof mode.

2 short lower-toned beeps indicate the radio
has disconnected from the V-TAC.
