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.

NOTE:

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.

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.

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 active mute system to ensure that

the radio remains quiet even when the channel is busy. When QUIET is set, you

may see the

icon appear on 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.
