                |Error detected during sensor calibration.
                |====
 
+               Here's a summary of all of the Pad and Idle mode
+               indications. In Idle mode, you'll hear one of these
+               just once after the two short dits indicating idle
+               mode. In Pad mode, after the dit dah dah dit
+               indicating Pad mode, you'll hear these once every five
+               seconds.

+               |On-board data logging storage is full. This will
+                not prevent the flight computer from safely
+                controlling the flight or transmitting telemetry
+                signals, but no record of the flight will be
+                stored in on-board flash.
+               |====
+
+               For devices with a radio transmitter, in addition to
+               the digital and APRS telemetry signals, you can also
+               receive audio tones with a standard amateur
+               70cm FM receiver. While on the pad, you will hear
+               igniter status once every five seconds.

+
+               During ascent, the tones will be muted to allow the
+               telemetry data to consume the full radio bandwidth.
+
+               During descent and after landing, a ½ second tone will
+               be transmitted every five seconds. This can be used to
+               find the rocket using RDF techniques when the signal
+               is too weak to receive GPS information via telemetry
+               or APRS.
