receiVing SelcallS
When your tX3340 receives its selcall ident, an alarm will sound to
alert you to the call. initially the alarm will beep urgently at 2 beeps
per second for around 10 seconds then slow to around 1 beep
every 3 seconds if the call is not answered. it will then continue to
beep indefinitely until you cancel it (the way your tX3340 handles
the selcall alert can be altered by your retailer).
in addition to the alarm, the words 'cAll From' will appear on
the display along with the callers selcall ident or AlPhA name to
inform you of the identity of the person calling.
To switch between the Selcall Ident and the ALPHA name
Briefly press the F key followed by the ALPHA key.
cancelling the Selcall alert
the following are the recommended methods:
To cancel the alarm and talk on the channel
Press the PTT key and talk in the usual way. the alarm will be
cancelled and the channel will be open for normal communication.
To return the call
Press and hold the CALL key for a few seconds until the radio
beeps. the callers selcall will be sent to the caller.
To cancel the alarm and listen on the channel
Briefly press the QUIET key (if QuiEt has been activated). the
alarm will stop beeping and the channel will remain open to any
incoming signals.
quiet moDe
QuiEt mode mutes the tX3340's receiver to prevent any 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 ident is received, the radio will exit QuiEt mode and
all incoming signals will be heard in the speaker.
Setting up QUIET Mode
to setup QuiEt mode you must first 'tag' the channels that you
want to stay quiet, then activate the QuiEt mode. once QuiEt
mode is activated, the channels you have tagged will remain
quiet to all incoming signals unless your selcall ident is received.
channels not tagged will remain open to all signals and will
operate normally.
