converse normally on the channel. To use the 
QUIET mode, refer to the QUIET Mode section 
further below.

NOTE: 

The QUIET mode overrides the normal 

Squelch system to ensure that the radio remains 
quiet even when the channel is busy. When 

QUIET

 is set, you may see the ‘BUSY’ icon 

appear on the display indicating the channel is 
being used. However, unless someone transmits 
your SelCall Ident, nothing will be heard in the 
speaker.

You can activate the QUIET mode on individual 
channels ie. some channels can be set to remain 
Quiet while others can remain open to all 
incoming signals. 

TIP: 

Setting the QUIET mode is not mandatory. 

You can still use SelCall on any channel whether 
the QUIET mode is set or not.

SELCALL MEMORIES

Your TX4600 is fitted with one ‘Call’ memory 
and 10 SelCall Ident memories. The 10 SelCall 
Ident memories are used to store frequently used 
SelCall Idents. The additional ‘Call’ memory holds 
the Ident you last sent or received. The memories 
can be viewed by briefly pressing the 

CALL

 

button. The initial memory displayed is the ‘Call’ 
memory. Pressing the channel selection keys 
will step through the other 10 SelCall storage 
memories in sequence. SelCall memories are 
labelled ‘c0’ to ‘c9’.

USING SELCALL

ENTERING A SELCALL IDENT

1.   Press the 

CALL

 button. ‘CALL TO’ is displayed, 

along with the last sent or received SelCall Ident. 

NOTE: 

If an 

ALPHA

 label is displayed you will 

need to switch to Numeric Mode. To toggle 
between Alpha mode and Numeric mode, briefly 
press the 

F

 key followed by the 

ALPHA

 key. A 

high beep indicates Alpha mode is selected while 
a low beep means the Numeric mode is selected. 

2. Enter the required SelCall Ident as follows:

(a)   Press and hold the 

F

 key until the radio 

beeps. The right-hand digit of the SelCall 
Ident will flash.

(b)   Press the   or   keys to select the required 

number in the flashing digit position.

 (c)   Briefly press the 

F

 key again to select the next 

digit position.

(d)    Repeat steps (b) and (c) to enter all 5 digits 

as required. The SelCall number is now ready 
to send.

SENDING A SELCALL

With the SelCall number displayed, press and 
hold the 

CALL

 button for 2 seconds. A long beep 

will be heard and the radio will transmit the 
SelCall Ident.

NOTE: 

If the call is not sent within 10 seconds 

of entering the last Ident digit the call mode 
will time out and the radio will return to normal 
mode. To exit the CALL TO mode without sending 
the SelCall briefly press the 

CALL

 button.

CALL ACKNOWLEDGE

If your SelCall transmission is successful, 
the radio you called should respond with an 
‘acknowledge’ signal - usually two quick beeps. 
This will confirm to you that the radio you called 
is now alerting its user to your signal.

STORING SELCALL IDENTS

Your TX4600 is fitted with 10 user programmable 
SelCall Ident memories, allowing you to store 
up to 10 frequently used SelCall Idents. The 
memories are accessed by pressing the 

CALL

 

button, then pressing the channel selector keys to 
scroll through the memories. Ident memories are
