Operating in the Dual Watch Mode:

Operation  in  the  Dual  Watch  mode  is  identical
to  the  Group  Scan  mode,  with  the  selected
channel  acting  as  a  single  group  channel.  As
with  Group  Scan,  signals  on  your  working
channel  will  have  priority  over  those  on  the
selected channel.

Talking on the Working Channel:

To  talk  on  the  working  channel  while  Dual

remains  active.  During  this  time  you  can
converse normally on the channel even though
Dual  Watch  is  still  selected.  When  your
conversation  has  finished  and  the  channel  has
been  inactive  for  5  seconds,  the  radio  will
resume Dual Watching .

SELCALL (SELECTIVE CALLING)

Overview

If Selcall has been enabled on your radio, it will
have been pre-programmed with its own unique
identifying code. You radio may also allow you
to transmit these Selcall codes, allowing you to
call others who are also using the Selcall system.

'Selective Calling' is a secure signalling system
that  allows  individual  radios  to  be  selectively
called  without  disturbing  other  radio's  sharing
the  same  channel.  Each  radio  can  be
pre-programmed  with  a  unique  code  (called  a
Selcall  Ident).  The  radio  can  then  be  set  to
remain  totally  quiet  while  it  monitors  the
channel for Selcall signals. Any incoming Selcall
code is compared with its own code. If the two

codes  match,  it  knows  it  is  being  called  and
sounds  an  alarm  to  alert  you.  It  also  displays
the  caller's  unique  code  or  an  alphanumeric
label  identifying  the  caller  to  you.  In  this  way,
even if you are away from your radio when the
call is received, you will still know that you were
called.  You  can  then  return  the  call  at  your
convenience.  If  further  calls  are  received,  the
most recent caller is displayed.

A special group code may also be available to
you which will allow specific groups of radios to
be selectively called without disturbing other
individuals or groups.

Receiver Quiet Mode

The Selcall "Quiet" function overrides the
normal squelch operation, forcing the radio to
remain quiet even if signals are being received -

until someone transmits your Selcall code

. The

"Quiet" mode will then be disabled, an alarm
will sound, and you will be able to converse
normally on that channel.

If your radio is programmed with a

Quiet

key,

you will be able to manually set your receiver's
Selcall "Quiet" muting system. If not, your
radios quiet muting system will have been
preset for you by your dealer.

The QUIET key

If fitted, the

Quiet

key can be used with Selcall

to enable or disable quiet operation.

• When Quiet is enabled, you will not hear any

signals on the channel until someone
specifically calls you using Selcall.

• When Quiet is disabled, you will be able to

hear all transmissions on the channel.

When quiet is enabled, you will see the

QUIET

icon on the display.

Your radio may be programmed to allow you to
decide which channels you wish to use as quiet
channels.  This  allows  you  to  tag  selected
channels  to  remain  quiet  until  you  receive  a
Selcall,  while  others  will  remain  open  to  all
signals. The

Quiet

key is also used to tag these

channels.
