open scan function re-enabled, you will need to return your
tX3340 to your retailer for re-programming.
SElECTIVE CAllING
your tX3340 has a selective calling system known as selcall
that operates like a telephone. your radio is pre-programmed
with its unique selcall identification number. if this number is
called by another radio, your tX3340 will beep to alert you.
if you do not want to hear any other activity while waiting
on a channel, you can select QuiEt mode. this will force the
radio to remain quiet to all incoming signals until your selcall
number is called.
your tX3340 will allow you to store up to ten (10) of your
most frequently called selcall numbers. Each number can be
labelled with a 5-letter name for easy identification.
selCall iDentiFiCation nuMber
your tX3340 is factory programmed with its own unique
selcall identification number (ident). this number identifies
your radio from others in your area. your radio’s own selcall
ident will be displayed for a few seconds, directly beneath the
channel display, when you first turn the radio on.
you will need to make your ident known to anyone who may
need to call you using selcall. Whenever your tX3340 hears a
selcall signal, it compares the incoming ident with its own. if
the two idents match, the radio knows it is being called and
sounds an alarm to alert you, otherwise the call is ignored.
NOTE: Although your radio’s selcall ident is pre-programmed
at the factory, you can change it if required. see CHANGING
YOUR OWN SELCALL IDENT on page 13.
selCall iDent naMes
When storing selcall idents, the tX3340 allows you to add
a 5 character name to each one, making it easier to identify
whose ident you are recalling from the memory. in addition,
if an incoming selcall matches one of the idents stored in the
memory, the name can be displayed to make it easier for you
to identify the caller.
quiet MoDe
your tX3340 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
a signal containing your selcall ident is received, QuiEt mode
is deactivated and an alarm sounds to alert you to the call. you
can then converse normally on the channel.
QuiEt mode operation is described later in this manual.
NOTE: QuiEt mode overrides the normal squelch system to
ensure that the radio remains quiet even when the channel is
busy. When QuiEt is set, you may see the ‘Busy’ 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 QuiEt mode on individual channels i.e. some
channels can be set to remain quiet while others can remain
open to all incoming signals.
TIP: setting QuiEt mode is not mandatory. you can still use
selcall on any channel whether the QuiEt mode is set or not.
selCall MeMories
your tX3340 is fitted with one call memory and 10 selcall
ident memories. the 10 selcall ident memories are used to
store frequently used selcall idents. the additional call memory
holds the ident you last sent or received. the memories can be
viewed by briefly pressing the CALL key. the initial memory
displayed is the call memory. Pressing the or keys
will step through the other 10 selcall storage memories in
sequence. selcall memories are labelled ‘c0’ to ‘c9’.
USING SElCAll
NOTE: the AcmA requires that cumulative selcall
transmissions should not exceed 3 seconds in any 60 second
period. to meet this requirement with your tX3340 you should
not send any more that 3 selcall transmissions per minute.
