Receiving Signals in QUIET mode
• if a normal signal is received on a QuiEt channel, the
channel will appear busy (the ‘Busy’ indicator will be
visible) but no sound will be heard from the speaker. this
means you will not be disturbed by the signal.
• if a normal signal is received on an open channel (one that
is not tagged with ‘Q’) the signal will be heard in the
usual way.
• if a signal containing your selcall ident is received on any
channel (open or QuiEt) QuiEt mode will be cancelled and
the alarm will beep to alert you to the call. in addition, the
caller’s ident or AlPhA name will be displayed. All channels
will now be open for normal transmission and reception.
if you wish to respond to the calling radio using selcall, press
and hold the CALL key for 1.5 seconds until the radio beeps.
the callers ident will be transmitted back to them causing the
alarm in their radio to be activated.

were scanning in Group scan mode, the radio may switch

is normal).

selcall ident is not detected, the signal will be ignored and
scanning will continue.
