Abstract

A method of generating a warning signal for a walkie-talkie includes: providing a detector and a timer; using the timer to count time; using the detector to determine whether the strength of a radio frequency (RF) signal which includes a standard CTCSS tone received by the walkie-talkie is larger than a predetermined value; using the detector to determine whether the strength of a RF signal which includes a non-standard CTCSS tone received by the walkie-talkie is larger than the predetermined value; if so, resetting the timer; and issuing a warning signal when the time counted by timer reaches a predetermined time.
