• Press the PTT button and talk in the usual way. The alarm will be cancelled, the display will return

to normal and the channel will be open for normal communication.

Call acknowledge signal

When your TX6500S receives its own SelCall Ident, it automatically responds by transmitting an
‘acknowledge’ signal back to the caller. This informs the caller that their SelCall transmission has been
successful and that your radio is alerting you to their call. The ‘acknowledge’ signal is heard at the
caller’s end as two quick beeps.

QUIET MODE

The QUIET mode mutes the TX6500S’s receiver to prevent any incoming signals from being heard in the
speaker until your SelCall Ident is received. This allows you to 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. Once your
selected channels are tagged, you can activate the QUIET mode. Once activated, the channels you have
tagged will remain Quiet to all incoming signals (unless your SelCall Ident is received). Channels that
were not tagged will be open to all signals and will continue to operate normally.
