SETTING THE WAY YOUR RADIO
RESPONDS TO A SELCALL WHEN IN
THE ‘QUIET’ MODE
Normally, if your TX4200 is in the
‘QUIET’
mode
when it receives it’s Selcall, the
‘QUIET’
mode
will be automatically cancelled to allow you to
talk to the person who called (see page 18) and
the radio will beep continuously until you cancel
it. This is fine if you are always near your radio.
But if you leave your radio unattended for long
periods of time and a Selcall is received, the
radio will remain “open’ until you get back
allowing any chatter on the channel to be heard
in the speaker. In addition, the Selcall alarm
warning beeps will continue until you return. If
the radio is in your vehicle, this could attract the
attention of undesirable people. In an office
environment it could be very annoying to
others.
If you find these situations occurring, you can
arrange for your dealer to modify the way your
radio responds to a Selcall when it is the QUIET
mode. The following options are available:
•
Re-enter QUIET mode after 10 seconds:
This setting is normally
disabled
(radio does
NOT re-enter QUIET mode after 10 seconds
and the Selcall-alarm beeps continuously).
If you change this setting to enabled, your
radio will ‘open’ (leave the
QUIET
mode)
whenever it’s Selcall Ident is received but
will automatically re-enter the
QUIET
mode
after 10 seconds if you have not responded
to the call. In addition, the Selcall ‘alarm
beeps’ will also reset after 10 seconds. This
gives you time to respond to the call if you
are nearby. If you do respond in time (by
picking up the microphone and answering
the call), the radio will then remain ‘open’
until you manually re-select
‘Quiet’
If you do not respond in time, the radio will
automatically re-select the
‘Quiet’
mode.
•
Open the Receiver when a Selcall is received
:
This setting is normally
enabled
(the radio
opens when a Selcall is received).
If you change this setting to
disabled
, your
radio will NOT open at all when it’s Selcall
Ident is received but will remain in the
QUIET
mode.
The two options above can be used in any
combination to provide up to 4 types of
response as shown in the table below.
