THE QUIET MODE
Your radio can be set to monitor signals on a busy channel but remain Quiet
unless it receives its own SelCall Ident.
In this way, you won’t be disturbed unless someone calls you. When your SelCall
Ident is received, the Quiet mode is deactivated and an alarm sounds to alert you
to the call. You can then converse normally on the channel.
NOTE
: The QUIET mode overrides the normal active mute system to ensure that
the radio remains quiet even when the channel is busy. When QUIET is set, you
may see the
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 (i.e. Some channels can
be set to remain Quiet while others can remain open to all incoming signals) by
storing those channels into a Quiet Memory.
SENDING A SELCALL
To send, program or change a SelCall number:
1.
Press the
MENU
key.
2.
Select
SELCALL
and its options.
RECEIVING A SELCALL
When your radio receives its own SelCall number, the
icon will appear
along with the callers SelCall number and name and the radio will sound an alarm
to alert you to the call. During this time the alarm will beep urgently and the
Quiet mode (if enabled) will open to allow incoming calls to be heard. After 30
seconds, if the call is not answered, the alarm will slow and the Quiet mode will be
reactivated. The alarm will then continue to beep slowly until you cancel it.
To cancel the alarm, but leave the incoming SelCall Ident on the display:
Briefly press the TOP key on the top of the microphone. The alarm will stop but
the caller’s name and SelCall number will remain on the display and the channel
will remain open to any incoming signals. This feature is useful if you
are currently
busy but intend to call the person back later.
