• E.F. Johnson Company 8500 Series, SUPERVISORY TONES 20 • If this tone sounds after the transmit indicator flashes several times and “NO SITE” appears in the display, an out-of-radio-range condition is indicated. To complete a call, you may need to get closer to your radio system. Once this tone sounds, no more access attempts are made until the push-to-talk switch is released and then pressed again. • If this tone sounds after the transmitter has been on for an extended period and “TX TIME” also appears in the display, the transmitter has been disabled by the time-out timer feature.

Instead, another short tone sounds after the confirma- tion tone to indicate that the audio path is complete and speaking can begin. End Call Tone This tone consists of three beeps, and it indicates that the end of the call has been detected by the system. Proceed Dialing Tone When placing a landside-originate call to a mobile (see “Landside- Originated Calls” on page 17), the landside caller may dial the system and then enter a special number which specifies the mobile being called.

• E.F. Johnson Company 8500 Series, SPECIAL CALLS 17 Landside-Originated Calls Mobiles can also be called from a landside telephone. If the system is designed so that mobiles can be called directly, simply dial the tele- phone number of the mobile being called. If mobiles cannot be called directly, dial the number of the system. Then when the system answers, dial the special number which specifies the mobile being called. This number is supplied by your system operator, and it must be dialed using a tone-type telephone.

If no tone sounds and “BUSY” is indicated in the display, the system is busy. If you continue to hold down the push-to-talk switch, the system will be accessed and the clear-to-talk tone will sound when the system is available. If the selected system is programmed for conven- tional operation, the clear-to-talk tone does not sound. Therefore, you can begin speaking as soon as the push-to-talk switch is pressed (after moni- toring the channel). A standard or loud clear-to-talk tone can be selected. To change the tone, turn pow

The intrinsically safe rating applies to Division 1 areas and the nonincendiv
