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.
NOTE: 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
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.
Sending a SelCall
To send, program or change a SelCall number, refer to the MENU /
SelCall options.
Receiving a SelCall
When your radio receives its own SelCall number, the
appear along with the callers SelCall number and name and the
radio will sound an alarm to alert you to the call. During this time
the alarm will beep urgently and the Quiet mode (if enabled) will
open to allow incoming calls to be heard. After 30 seconds, if the
call is not answered, the alarm will slow and the Quiet mode will
be reactivated. The alarm will then continue to beep slowly until
you cancel it.
To cancel the Alarm but leave the incoming SelCall Ident on
the display:
• Briefly press the TOP key on the top of the microphone. The
alarm will stop but the caller's name and SelCall number will
remain on the display and the channel will remain open to any
incoming signals. This feature is useful if you are currently busy
but intend to call the person back later.
To cancel the Alarm and talk on the channel:
• Press the PTT and talk in the usual way. The alarm will be
cancelled, the display will return to normal and the channel will
be open for normal communication.
To clear the alarm completely
• Briefly press BACK. The alarm will be cancelled and the display
will return to the normal screen.
Quiet mode
The Quiet mode mutes the receiver to prevent incoming signals
from being heard in the speaker until your SelCall Ident is received.
In this way you can monitor a busy channel for personal calls
without being disturbed by unwanted signals. If your SelCall
number is received, the Quiet mode is cancelled and all incoming
signals are heard in the speaker.
