long as the channel is busy. During this time

and you wish to remain there, briefly press
the SCAN key. The radio will exit the Scan

GENERAL OVERVIEW
What is Selcall.
Your TX3400 has a Selective Calling (Selcall)
system which operates like your telephone.
Your radio has been programmed with its own
unique number. When this number is called,
your TX3400 will beep to alert you.
If you do not want to hear any other activity
while on the channel, you can push a QUIET
button. The radio will then remain quiet until
your number is called.
Your radio allows you to store up to four of your
most frequently called numbers in memory.
Each number can be labelled with a 5 letter
name for easy identification.
Selcall Identification Number (Ident).
Your TX3400 is factory programmed with its
own unique Selcall Identification Number
(Ident). This number identifies your radio from
others in your area. You will need to make your
Ident known to anyone who may need to call
you with Selcall. Whenever your TX3400 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 to the call.
The Selcall Ident for your radio is printed on the
label on the rear panel of the main unit. The
Ident is the last 5 digits of the radio’s serial
number.
The Selcall Ident is also displayed in the
bottom left of the LCD for a second each time
the radio is turned on.
NOTE: Although your radio’s Selcall Ident is
pre-programmed at the factory, you can
arrange to have your dealer change it if
required.
