‘CALL TO’ mode.

Ident will be displayed. If the radio is in

Activating the Page Mode.
Select the Page mode by holding down the
CALL button then pressing the Volume knob.
‘PAGE’ will be displayed and the display
lighting will extinguish after 10 seconds to
conserve power in case the radio is to be left in
Page mode for an extended period. This also
makes the radio less visible if it is left in an
unattended vehicle at night.
Deactivating the Page Mode.
To de-activate the page mode, briefly press the
Volume knob.
Receiving your Selcall in Page Mode.
If your TX3400 receives its own Selcall Ident
while in the PAGE mode, it will temporarily
switch to the paging channel, check that the
channel is not in use, then transmit the paging
Ident to the other receiver. It will then return to
the channel on which the original call was
received, activate its own Selcall alarm and
display the callers Ident.
Meanwhile the other receiver will be beeping to
tell you that someone has called you. You can
then return to your TX3400, identify the callers
Ident and return the call.
The page mode can be used either while
monitoring a single channel or while scanning
in open scan or group scan mode.
Monitoring a Single channel in the PAGE
Mode.
To monitor a single channel in the Page mode,
simply select the channel you wish to monitor,
then select the Page mode by holding the
CALL button down and pressing the Volume
knob .
