Receiving SelCalls
When your radio 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, then, if the call is not
answered, it will slow to around 1 beep every 3 seconds. It
will then continue to beep indefinitely until you cancel it.
In addition to the alarm, the symbol will appear on the
display along with the callers SelCall Ident or ALPHA label to
inform you of the caller’s identity.

RESPONDING TO A SELCALL ALERT
To Cancel the Alarm but leave the incoming Selcall Ident on
the display:
• Briefly press QUIET. The alarm will stop but the caller’s
Ident/Name will remain on the display and the channel
will remain open to any incoming signals. This feature

be cancelled, the display will return to normal and the
channel will be open for normal communication.

know you are now available.
QUIET MODE
The QUIET mode mutes the receiver to prevent incoming
signals from being heard in the speaker until your SelCall
Ident is received. In this way you can monitor a busy channel
for personal calls without being disturbed by unwanted
signals. If your SelCall Ident is received, the QUIET mode is
cancelled and all incoming signals are heard in the speaker.
Setting up the QUIET Mode
To setup the QUIET mode you must first ‘tag’ the channels
that you want to stay Quiet, then activate the QUIET mode.
Once the QUIET mode is activated, tagged channels will
remain Quiet to all incoming signals unless your SelCall Ident
is received. Channels not tagged will remain open to all
signals and will operate normally.

2. Press and hold QUIET until the radio beeps. ‘Q’ will
appear to the left of the channel number indicating the

‘Q’ will be displayed.
2. Press and hold QUIET until the radio beeps. ‘Q’ will
disappear indicating this channel is no longer tagged for
Quiet operation.
Activating the QUIET Mode
1. Select a channel that has been tagged for Quiet operation
(you cannot activate the Quiet mode unless you have
selected a ‘tagged’ channel). ‘Q’ will be displayed.

Now all channels that were tagged for Quiet operation will
be operating in the Quiet mode.

sound will be heard from the speaker.
