GME TX3400 - Manual (Page 11)

To exit the ‘CALL TO’ mode, briefly press the
CALL button. The radio will return to normal
operation.
The radio can now be left in the Name mode so
that an incoming Selcall matching one of those
in the radios memory will display the name
associated with that Selcall Ident instead of the
Ident itself. Any Selcalls not matching those in
the memory will display the normal Ident in the
usual way.
The way in which your TX3400 handles an
incoming Selcall may vary depending on how it
has been programmed. The following section
describes receiving Selcalls on the TX3400
when using the standard factory default
settings.
RECEIVING SELCALLS
When your TX3400 receives its own Selcall
number, it will beep to alert you to the call. In
addition, it will cancel the QUIET mode (if
selected) and display the Ident or Name of the
caller.
Displaying the Callers Ident or Name.
Whenever your TX3400 receives its own
Selcall Ident, the words ‘CALL FROM’ will
appear on your display above the callers
Selcall Ident or Name to inform you of the
identity of the person calling.
The Selcall Alarm.
When your TX3400 receives its Selcall Ident, an
alarm will sound in the speaker 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.
Cancelling the Selcall Alarm.
Pressing just about any key or knob on the
TX3400 will cancel the Selcall Alarm. However,
the following are the recommended methods.
• If you want to Cancel the Alarm and listen
on the channel:
Briefly press the Volume/Quiet knob. The
alarm will stop beeping and the channel will
remain open to any incoming signals.
• If you want to Cancel the Alarm and talk on
the channel:
Press the PTT switch on the microphone
and talk in the usual way. The alarm will be
cancelled and the channel will be open for
normal communication.
• If you want to Recall the Callers Ident and
return the call:
Briefly press the CALL button on the
microphone. The radio will enter the ‘CALL
TO’ mode and will insert the callers Ident or
Name ready for sending. Now simply press
and hold the CALL button for a few
seconds until the radio beeps. The Selcall
will be sent to the caller.
Call Acknowledge Signal.
When your TX3400 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 callers end
as two quick beeps.
