This page applies only to the BCD396XT, BC346XT, and BC346XTC. For other models see:With the tone out feature, the scanner monitors any 10 different channels for paging tones (two-tone sequential, single tone, and group tone). Normally, the scanner monitors only the channel you select. However, if any tone-out channels share the same frequency, modulator, and attenuator settings, the scanner checks these channels simultaneously. Tone-Out mode cannot be used while scanning. To ensure that the timing of the tones are correctly determined, the scanner must continuously monitor the RF frequency for the incoming tones.
