TONE ALERT
Tone Alert provides an audible alarm to indicate when
someone is transmitting on the frequency you are
monitoring.
Tone Alert Is an effective partner with CTCSS, Page, or
DTSS. When the correct signaling comes through, your
transceiver beeps to alert you of an incoming call from a
specific station.
ACTIVATING TONE ALERT
1 Tune to the prearranged frequency.
2 Activate CTCSS, Page, or DTSS if you want to use
these together with Tone Alert.
3 Press [F], [CALL].
• The "bell" icon appears.

Each time this key combination is pressed, Tone
Alert toggles ON and OFF.
4 When the correct signal is received, the transceiver
beeps and the "bell" icon begins blinking.
• The Display shows the number of hours and
minutes elapsed after the signal was received.
After 100 hours pass, the displayed time resets,
and counting continues from 00.00. Each time a
new signal is received, the time resets to 00.00.
5 When the "bell" icon is blinking, exit Tone Alert by
pressing [PTT],
• TH-22E/TH-42E: Pressing [T/CT] also cancels this
function.
Woie:
► If Tone Alert Is ON, APO does not turn the power OFF.
► If Tone Alert is ON, there is no speaker output except the
beep tone.
► When a signal is received with the Beep function OFF, the
"bell" icon blinks, but an alarm tone is not generated.
► For Tone Alert to function correctly with CTCSS, the
incoming signal must be present for approximately
1 second.
► If Tone Alert is ON, Scan cannot be used.
► For Tone Alert to function correctly with DTSS or Page, the
correct code must accompany the incoming signals.
