Quiet Mode - GME GA9800 Instruction Manual

The Selcall Alert
When your TX6200 receives its Selcall Ident, an alarm will sound in the speaker to alert you to
the call. Initially the alarm will beep urgently at 2 beeps per second for around 10 seconds. The
alarm will then stop, however the radio will remain in the 'Call From' mode with the callers Ident
or Alpha name displayed.
Cancelling the Selcall Alert
Pressing just about any key on the TX6200 will cancel the Selcall Alarm. However, the following
are the recommended methods.
• If you want to Cancel the Alarm and listen on the channel:
Briefly press the QUIET key. The alarm will stop beeping and the channel will remain open
to any incoming signals.
• If you want to Cancel the Alarm and talk on the channel:
Press the PTT switch and talk in the usual way. The alarm will be cancelled and the channel
will be open for normal communication.
• If you want to immediately return the call:
Press and hold the CALL key for a few seconds until the radio beeps. The 'callers' Selcall will
be returned to the caller.
Call Acknowledge Signal
When your TX6200 receives its own Selcall Ident, it automatically responds by transmitting an
'acknowledge' signal back to the caller. This informs the caller that their Selcall transmission
has been successful and that your radio is alerting you to their call. The 'acknowledge' signal is
heard at the caller's end as two quick beeps.

QUIET MODE

The QUIET mode mutes the TX6200'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 QUIET mode is then cancelled and all incoming signals are
heard in the speaker.
