TX4400 INSTRUCTION MANUAL PAGE 13
DISPLAYING THE CALLER’S IDENT OR NAME
Whenever your TX4400 receives it’s own Selcall Ident, 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 Selcall
Idents and ALPHA Names briefly press the F key followed by
the ALPHA key .
THE SELCALL ALERT
When your TX4400 receives it’s 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 ALERT
Pressing just about any key on the TX4400 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 QUIET key . 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 ALPHA 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 TX4400 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 .
QUIET MODE
The QUIET mode mutes the TX4400'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 QUIET mode is then
cancelled and all incoming signals are heard in the speaker .
SETTING UP THE QUIET MODE
To setup the QUIET mode you must first 'tag' the channels
that you want to stay Quiet, then activate the QUIET mode .
Once the 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 .
