3. To change the scanning direction press the
Press key to scan upwards in frequency or
scan downwards.
4. When a signal is found, scanning will pause on that
frequency. Once the signal has gone and the frequency
remains clear for 5 seconds, scanning will resume.
5. To manually skip over an active frequency and continue
scanning press the CALL button. To continue scanning in
a specific direction or to change the direction, press the
appropriate or key.
6. When you find a frequency you wish to store, press
and hold the SCAN key until the radio beeps. The
frequency will be stored under the selected Listening
channel number.
To store active frequencies into other Listening channels
repeat steps 1 – 6 above.
SETTING SEEK MODE FREqUENCY
lIMITS
When in Seek mode, the default frequency range is the
entire Listening band of 403 - 520 Mhz. however, in many
cases you may only be interested in a searching for signals
within a small section of the available frequency band.
To make searching easier the TX4600 allows you to set
upper and lower frequency limits. The Seek function will
then search only within those limits. This limits the scan to
the area you are most interested in, thereby increasing the
chance of finding an active frequency within that band.
To Scan within Frequency limits
1. Select the required Listening channel (41 – 80).
The frequency currently selected for that channel will
be displayed.
2. hold the MENU key until the radio beeps. The radio will
enter the frequency Edit mode.
3. Select the LOWER frequency limit using the CALL button
to select the flashing digit position and the
to change the frequency value.
4. When the LOWER frequency limit has been selected,
briefly press the SCAN key then press and hold the
key. The radio will give a long beep. The LOWER limit is
now stored.
5. Now select the UPPER frequency limit using the CALL
button to select the flashing digit position and the
or keys to change the frequency value.
6. When the UPPER frequency limit has been selected,
briefly press the SCAN key then press and hold the
key. The radio will give a long beep. The UPPER limit is
now stored.

Now follow the same steps as described under 'Scanning
for active frequencies in the Seek Mode' on page 14. The
only difference will be smaller frequency band which will
now scan only within the frequency limits set above.
Note: The Seek frequency limits will remain stored in the
radio even after you have switched the radio Off. The next
time you use the Seek mode the same frequency limits will
apply. To change the frequency limits simply reset them as
described above.
TIP: The Lower frequency limit should normally be lower
than the upper frequency limit. however, if you should
enter a lower frequency limit that is higher than the upper
frequency limit the radio will then scan frequencies OUTSIDE
these limits. In other words you can exclude the frequencies
between the limits.

If Upper Limit is greater than Lower Limit, radio will scan
INSIDE the limit range.

If Upper Limit is less than Lower Limit, radio will scan
OUTSIDE the limit range.
