reception of the 'paused' Channel . If no signals are heard
after 5 seconds, the radio will resume scanning .
• If a signal appears on the priority Channel at any time
(even when paused on a scan Channel) the receiver will
switch straight to the priority Channel and will stay there
for as long as the Channel is busy . During this time you
can transmit on the priority Channel in the usual way .
Once there has been no activity on the priority Channel
for 5 seconds, the radio will resume scanning the other
Channels .
• To talk on the priority (working) Channel AT ANY TIME,
simply press the PTT switch on the microphone . The radio
will switch straight to the priority Channel . When you
have finished your conversation and there has been no
further activity on the priority Channel for 5 seconds, the
radio will resume scanning the other Channels .
• If your radio pauses on a busy Channel and you don't
wish to listen to that conversation, briefly press the CALL
button on top of the microphone . The radio will skip
over that Channel and resume scanning from the next
Channel in the sequence .
• If your radio is paused on a busy Channel and you wish
to remain there, briefly press the SCAN key . The radio
will exit the Scan mode and remain on the busy Channel .
Note that the radio will no longer be monitoring the
Priority Channel (unless it is the busy Channel) . To
resume scanning, press the SCAN key again .
• To go directly to the Priority Channel, briefly press the
Channel knob . The radio will exit the Scan function .
ENDING THE SCAN
To cancel the Group Scan mode, briefly press the SCAN
key . A low beep will be heard and ‘SCAN’ will disappear
from the display . If the radio was on a busy Channel it will
remain on that Channel, otherwise it will return to the
priority Channel .
USING THE GROUP SCAN AS A SECOND
OPEN SCAN
There may be applications where you have no need for
the priority Channel and would prefer to have two Open
Scan modes with separate Channel groups in each . This
would allow you to scan either Channel group without the
interruption caused by monitoring a priority Channel .
Your TX4400 can be Dealer programmed to convert the
Group Scan function into a second Open Scan mode . If
you would prefer this feature over the present Group Scan
option you should contact your GME Dealer to arrange for
this feature to be enabled .
When the second Open Scan mode is enabled, the original
Open Scan mode becomes Scan 1 while the new additional
Open Scan mode becomes Scan 2 . To select the required
scan mode briefly press the OS/GS key . S1 is displayed for
Scan 1 and S2 for Scan 2 .
The two Open Scan modes are identical in operation . To
program and operate each Open Scan mode refer to the
section earlier on Open Scan
Note: Enabling or disabling the second Open Scan mode is
not a user selectable option . Once enabled by your Dealer,
the additional Open Scan mode becomes a permanent part
of the TX4400’s features and replaces the standard Group
Scan function . If you find later that you need the Group
Scan function re-enabled, you will need to return your
TX4400 to your Dealer .
PROGRAMMING RECEIVE-ONLY CHANNELS
Your TX4400 has provision for an extra 20 Receive-Only
Channels, in addition to the standard 40 UHF CB Channels
provided . These extra Channels can be user programmed
into Channel positions 41 through 60, within the frequency
range of 465 to 485 MHz . Frequencies are selected in 25
kHz steps . Note that the standard CB Channels 1 through
40 are fixed and cannot be altered .
ACTIVATING THE 'PROGRAMMING' MODE
Your TX4400 is supplied from the factory with the Receive-
Only Channels deactivated . You can activate and program
them yourself as follows:
1 . Turn the radio OFF.
2 . Press and hold the Channel selector while turning the
radio ON .
3 . Release the Channel selector . The radio is now in
'Programming' Mode .
Rotate the Channel selector clockwise past Channel 40 .
You will now find that you can select additional Channel
numbers 41 through 60 . Initially, these Channels will have
no frequencies installed in them and are in effect, turned
OFF. Each individual Channel will need to be turned ON
and programmed with the receive frequency of your choice .
