RECEIVING SELCALLS
When your TX4600 receives its SelCall Ident,
an alarm will sound to alert you to the call.
Initially the alarm will beep urgently at 2 beeps
per second for around 10 seconds then slow
to around 1 beep every 3 seconds if the call
is not answered. It will then continue to beep
indefinitely until you cancel it (the way your
TX4600 handles the SelCall alert can be altered
by your Dealer).
In addition to the alarm, the words ‘CALL FROM’
will appear on the display along with the callers
SelCall Ident or ALPHA name to inform you of the
identity of the person calling. To switch between
the SelCall Ident and the ALPHA name briefly
press the
F
key followed by the
ALPHA
key.

be open for normal communication.
