Monitor Function
If the busy icon shows that the channel is busy, but you
cannot hear any sound, the signal is probably using a different
ctcss/dcs tone to yours.
If you wish to listen to the signal to confirm that someone else
is using the channel, press and hold the Volume knob. this
activates the ‘monitor’ function which temporarily disables
the ctcss/dcs system in your radio to allow the signal to be
heard in the speaker. When the Volume knob is released the
channel will become quiet again.

the tX3500 is supplied with a slim, slide on mounting cradle.
the cradle can be screwed or bolted to any convenient
location in your vehicle (under or above the dash, on the
centre console, etc.) using the mounting slots provided in the
cradle. the tX3500 contains a built-in speaker and should
be installed in a convenient location in the vehicle’s cabin
using the mounting slots provided in the base. For maximum
sound from the internal speaker, we recommend the cradle be
mounted above the radio to minimise any obstruction of the
speaker. Alternatively the tX3500 can be installed in a less
audible location and an extension speaker used instead. When
installing the radio, avoid mounting it close to heaters or air
conditioners.
Console Mounting
A flush mounting dIn adapter mBd001 is available as an
optional accessory. the adapter includes mounting brackets
and a specially designed front panel escutcheon to suit most
vehicle installations. see your nearest GmE retailer for details.

When Installing the Cradle

the mounting cradle to a firm surface and slide the tX3500
into the cradle from the front until it clicks into place. Finally,
connect the power lead and antenna cable to the sockets on
the radio’s rear panel.
