Two chimes? What does it mean?

I just hooked up a cb last night and ran the power off the radio fuse. Just bought one of those simple fuse adapters from Autozone. Since getting it set, I have noticed two chimes when I remove the key and then open the door. Can't find anything in the manual for why I would be getting these chimes. Any ideas?

Interesting IIRC 2 fast chimes means your lights are on but the key is out of the ignition and the door is open, not sure how that would correlate to the radio though.

I originally had it hooked up through the 5 amp interior light dimmer fuse, but soon realized that then the cb would only operate when the lights were on. I had a few "tries" before I got it figured out - switching on the lights with the door open and key out. It hasn't done it again lately so maybe it just needed to work itself out. Gremlins.... gotta love em.

Where did you find that info on the chimes? I didn't see it in the owners manual.
