Selective Calling - GME GA9800 Instruction Manual

• To transmit on a scanned channel, press the PTT button
while the radio is paused on that channel, then talk in the
usual way. The radio will resume scanning when you have
finished your conversation and there has been no further
activity on the channel for 5 seconds.
• To transmit on the priority (working) channel AT ANy
TIME, simply press the PTT button while the radio is
scanning. The radio will switch straight to the priority
channel. When you have finished your conversation and
there has been no further activity on the priority channel
for 5 seconds, the radio will resume scanning the other
channels.
• To go directly to the Priority channel, briefly press the
PRI key. The radio will exit the Scan mode.
USING TWO GROUP SCAN OR TWO
OPEN SCAN MODES
If you prefer, the TX4600 can be re-programmed to have
two Group Scan modes or two Open Scan modes instead of
one of each.
for example there may be applications where you have no
need to scan the Priority channel and would prefer to have
two separate Open Scan modes. Alternatively you may have
applications where you prefer to have two Group Scan
modes with different Scan groups in each.
your TX4600 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 mode, refer to the MENU
settings on page 16.
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 TX4600'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 TX4600 to your Dealer for re-programming.

OVERVIEW
your TX4600 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
TX4600 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 TX4600 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 TX4600 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 TX4600
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 TX4600 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 TX4600 must be in the ALPhA mode. To switch
between ALPhA mode and NUMERIC mode, briefly press
the F (function) key followed by the ALPHA key. 'ALPhA' or
'NUMER' will be displayed for 2 seconds below the channel
display to indicate the selected mode.
