To Scan in the QuiET Mode:
1. Press the
OS/GS Toggle
key to select the required Scan
group (if available).
2. Select the channels you wish to remain Quiet and tag
each one with ‘Q’.
3. With a tagged channel selected, briefly press the
QUIET
key to activate the QUIET Mode.
4. Now press the
SCAN
key. The radio will begin scanning
and ‘SCAN’
will be displayed.
• If a normal signal is received on an open channel,
scanning will pause while the channel is busy and will
resume scanning 5 seconds after the channel becomes
clear. (If you were scanning in GS mode, the radio may
switch between the open channel and the Priority
channel. This is normal).
• If a normal signal is received on a Quiet channel but your
Selcall Ident is not detected, the signal will be ignored
and scanning will continue.
• If a signal containing your Selcall Ident is received on
any channel – open or Quiet – both
SCAN and QUIET
modes will be cancelled and the receiver will stay on that
channel. In addition, the alarm will beep to alert you
to the call and the callers Ident will be displayed.
The channel will now be open for normal transmission
and reception.
Note:
To ensure reliable Selcall detection when scanning, it
is recommended that you restrict the number of channels in
the Scan group.
In Open Scan Mode: 10 Channels
In group Scan Mode: 8 Channel plus the Priority Channel
SENDING A SELCALL
There are several ways to make a Selcall transmission. The
method you use will depend on the options programmed
into your radio.
Sending a Selcall using the Selcall Speed
Dial memories
Selcall ‘Speed dial’ memories are used when your radio has
been preprogrammed with the necessary Selcall codes for
your group, with no provision to manually alter them.
Speed Dial memories are programmed into one or more of
the function keys.
To send a Selcall using a Speed Dial memory
, press and
hold
the appropriate key (
F1
,
F2
,
F3
,
F4
,
A
or
B
) for a few
seconds until a beep is heard. The 'TX' indicator will be
displayed as the Selcall code is sent.
If your Selcall is successful, you will hear two quick beeps
in the speaker. This is an acknowledge signal, sent back to
you from the radio you called. It is used to confirm that your
Selcall was received.
Sending a Selcall using the Selcall Speed Dial
memories with Channel Recall
your Speed Dial memories may have been programmed to
recall a specific channel before sending the Selcall.
To send a Selcall using a Speed Dial memory programmed
with Channel Recall
, simply press and
hold
the appropriate
key (
F1
,
F2
,
F3
,
F4
,
A
or
B
) for a few seconds until a beep
is heard. The radio will change to the preprogrammed
channel, and the 'TX' indicator will be displayed as
the Selcall code is sent. The radio will then stay on the
preprogrammed channel.
If your Selcall is successful, you will hear two quick beeps in
the speaker. This is an acknowledge signal, sent back to you
from the radio you called. It is used to confirm to you that
your Selcall was received.
Sending a Selcall using the preprogrammed Call
To Selcall memories
your radio has provision to hold up to 40 preprogrammed
Selcall Idents in its Call To memory. These memories are likely
to have been preprogrammed by your retailer. However,
provision may have been given to allow you to edit these
memories yourself.
MC522BC OPTION
if the Call To memories are available, you can select
them as follows:
1. Briefly press the
CaLL
key. ‘Call To’ will appear on the
display, along with the Selcall Ident for memory location A.
If the radio is in Alpha mode, the Ident may display a label
representing the Ident instead of the Ident number.
Note:
If no user input is detected for 20 seconds, the radio
will return to normal mode and you will have to begin again.
