Fire Tone-Out
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. To quickly switch to Fire Tone-Out
mode, press
F and then [SQ].
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.

Turn the Scroll Control to select which of the ten tone-outs to monitor. Or,
while holding on any channel, press F then [SQ] to quickly switch to Tone-Out
Standby, then rotate scroll to select the settings 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,

return to standby mode.
