|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.

+
+ 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.
