RECEIVING SElCAllS
When your TX4600 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 TX4600 handles the Selcall alert can
be altered by your Dealer).
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
