Your TX4610 can be Dealer programmed to
convert the Group Scan mode into a second
Open Scan mode and vice versa. If you would
prefer to have two Group Scan or two Open
Scan modes, you should contact your GME
Dealer to arrange for this feature to be enabled
(when using two Group Scan modes the Priority
channel will be the same channel for both scan
groups).
When the second Open or Group Scan mode is
enabled, the resulting two Scan modes become
Scan 1 and Scan 2. To select the required scan
MENU
mode, refer to the
When enabled, the two Scan modes will be
identical in operation. To program and operate
each, refer to the Open Scan/Group Scan
sections above.
NOTE:
Enabling or disabling the second
Open or Group Scan mode is not a user
selectable option. Once enabled by your
dealer, the changed Scan mode becomes
a permanent part of the TX4610's
features and replaces the standard
Scan selection. If you find later that you
need the original Group or Open Scan
function re-enabled, you will need to
return your TX4610 to your dealer for
re-programming.

OVERVIEW

Your TX4610 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 TX4610
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. This will force
the radio to remain quiet to all incoming signals
until your SelCall number is called.
Your TX4610 will allow you to store up to ten of
your most frequently called SelCall numbers in
memory and each number can be labelled with
a 5-letter name for easy identification.

SELCALL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

Your TX4610 is factory programmed with its
own unique SelCall Identification Number
(Ident). This number identifies your radio from
others in your area. Your radio's own SelCall
Ident will be displayed for a few seconds,
directly beneath the channel 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.
Whenever your TX4610 hears a SelCall signal,
it compares the incoming Ident with its own.
If the two Idents match, the radio knows it is
being called and sounds an alarm to alert you,
otherwise the call is ignored.
NOTE:
Although your radio's SelCall
Ident is pre-programmed at the factory,
you can arrange to have your dealer
change it if required.
SELCALL IDENT NAMES
When storing SelCall Idents in memory, the
TX4610 allows you to add a 5 character name
to each one, making it easier to identify whose
Ident you are recalling from the memory. In
addition, if an incoming SelCall matches one of
the Idents stored in the memory, the name can
be displayed to make it easier for you to identify
the caller.
To add or display names
Your TX4610 must be in the ALPHA mode. To
switch between ALPHA mode and NUMERIC
mode, briefly press the
ALPHA
followed by the
'NUMER' will be displayed for 2 seconds below
the channel display to indicate the selected
mode.

THE QUIET MODE (Q)

Your TX4610 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 a signal containing 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.
