reCeiVing selCalls
When your tX3340 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 for around 10 seconds then
slow to around 1 beep every 3 seconds if the call is not
answered. it will then continue to beep indefinitely until you
cancel it (the way your tX3340 handles the selcall alert can be
altered by your retailer).
in addition to the alarm, the words ‘cAll From’ will appear
on the display along with the callers selcall ident or AlPhA
name to inform you of the identity of the person calling.
To switch between the Selcall Ident and the
ALPHA name
Briefly press the F key followed by the ALPHA key.

quiet MoDe
QuiEt mode mutes the tX3340’s receiver to prevent any
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 radio will exit QuiEt mode
and all incoming signals will be heard in the speaker.
Setting up QUIET mode
to setup QuiEt mode you must first ‘tag’ the channels that
you want to stay quiet, then activate the QuiEt mode. once
QuiEt mode is activated, the channels you have tagged 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.
To tag individual channels for QUIET operation
1. select the required channel by pressing the or keys.
2. Press and hold the QUIET key until the radio beeps. ‘Q’
will appear to the right of the channel display indicating the
selected channel is now tagged for quiet operation.
