Selective Calling; Selcall Identification Number; Selcall Naming; The Quiet Mode - GME XRS-370C Instruction Manual

Selective Calling

Your radio has a Selective Calling system known as SelCall that operates like a telephone. Your
radio is pre-programmed with its own unique SelCall Identification number. If this number is called
by another radio, your radio will beep to alert you. If you do not want to hear any other activity
while waiting on a channel, you can select the QUIET mode. Your radio will then remain quiet to all
incoming signals until your SelCall number is called.
You can store up to 20 of your most frequently called SelCall numbers in memory and each number
can be labelled for easy identification.

SelCall Identification Number

Your radio is factory programmed with its own unique SelCall Identification Number. This number
identifies your radio from others in your area. Your radio's own SelCall Ident will be displayed for a
few seconds to the lower-left of the display when you first turn the radio on. You will need to make
your Ident known to anyone who may need to call you using SelCall.
Although your radio is factory-programmed with a unique SelCall Ident, you can change your
Ident to another number if required, using the Menu/Selcall option.

SelCall naming

When storing SelCall numbers, you can add names to each one to make it easier to identify whose
number you are recalling. In addition, if an incoming SelCall matches one of your stored numbers,
the name will be displayed to identify the caller.

The Quiet mode

Your radio can be set to monitor signals on a busy channel but remain Quiet unless it receives its
own SelCall Ident.
In this way, you won't be disturbed unless someone calls you. When your SelCall Ident is received,
the Quiet mode is deactivated and an alarm sounds to alert you to the call. You can then converse
normally on the channel.
The QUIET mode overrides the normal Squelch system to ensure that the radio remains quiet
even when the channel is busy. When QUIET is set, you may see the
display indicating the channel is being used. However, unless someone transmits your SelCall
Ident, nothing will be heard in
the speaker.
You can activate the QUIET mode on individual channels (i.e. Some channels can be set to remain
Quiet while others can remain open to all incoming signals) by storing those channels into a Quiet
Memory.
