Note: If the call is not sent within 10 seconds of entering
the last Ident digit the call mode will time out and the radio
will return to normal mode. To exit CALL TO mode without
sending the Selcall briefly press the CALL button.
CALL ACKNOWLEDGE
If your Selcall transmission is successful, the radio you called
should respond with an ‘acknowledge’ signal - usually two
quick beeps. This will confirm to you that the radio you
called is now alerting its user to your signal.
STORING SELCALL IDENTS
Your TX3420 is fitted with 10 user programmable Selcall
Ident memories, allowing you to store up to 10 frequently
used Selcall Idents. The memories are accessed by pressing
the CALL button, then rotating the Channel knob to scroll
through memories. Ident memories are labelled ‘c0’ to ‘c9’.
To Store a Selcall Ident in memory
1. Press the CALL button to select the CALL TO mode.
‘CALL TO’ is displayed along with the last sent or
received Selcall Ident.
2. Rotate the Channel knob to select the required Ident
memory (locations ‘c0’ to ‘c9’).
TIP: If the radio displays letters instead of numbers in the
Selcall Ident position, your radio is in ALPHA mode. To
switch back to NUMERIC mode, briefly press the F key
followed immediately by the ALPHA key. A low beep will
be heard and ’NUMER’ will be displayed for a few seconds
in the Ident position.
3. With the required memory location displayed, enter the
Selcall ident as follows:
(a) Press and hold the Channel knob until the radio
beeps. The right-hand digit of the Selcall Ident
will flash.
(b) Rotate the Channel knob to select the required
number in the flashing digit position.
(c) Briefly press the Channel knob again to select
the next digit position.
(d) Repeat steps (b) and (c) to enter all 5 digits
as required.
(e) Now press and hold the Channel knob. The entire
Ident will flash for a few seconds then the radio will
beep as the new Ident is stored.
RECALLING SELCALL IDENTS FROM MEMORY
1 Press the CALL button to select the CALL TO mode.
‘CALL TO’ is displayed along with the last sent or
received Selcall Ident.
2. Rotate the Channel knob to select the required Ident
memory in locations ‘c0’ to ‘c9’.
3. When the required Selcall Memory is displayed, press
and hold the CALL button to send the Ident.
NAMING YOUR SELCALL IDENTS
The TX3420 allows you to name each Selcall Ident using
a 5 character ALPHA name. The name is stored in memory
along with the Ident making it easier to identify whose
Ident you are recalling from the memory. If an incoming
Selcall matches one of those in your radio’s memory,
the name can be displayed instead of the Selcall Ident.
DISPLAYING ALPHA NAMES
To display the Selcall’s ALPHA Name
You must have the radio’s ALPHA display mode selected.
To toggle the ALPHA display mode
Briefly press the F key followed by the ALPHA key. ‘ALPHA’
or ‘NUMER’ will be displayed for 2 seconds below the
channel display to indicate the selected mode.
TIP: The normal channel display may give no indication of
which display mode is selected. The selected mode will only
become obvious when displaying Idents.
ENTERING AND STORING A SELCALL NAME
Note: Before adding an ALPHA Name to a Selcall Ident,
you should first store the required Ident in memory as
described above under Storing Selcall Idents on page 9.
1. Ensure the ALPHA mode is selected (briefly press the F
key followed by the ALPHA key to toggle ALPHA mode)
2. Briefly press the CALL button. The CALL TO mode will
be selected and the last-sent Selcall memory location
will be displayed.
3. Rotate the Channel knob to select the required Selcall
memory (locations c0 to c9). If no ALPHA name has been
programmed for that memory the radio will probably
display ‘- - - - -’ otherwise it will display the last ALPHA
name programmed into that memory.
4 With the required memory location displayed, enter the
required ALPHA name as follows:
(a) Press and hold the Channel knob until the radio
beeps. The left-hand character of the ALPHA name
will flash. Rotate the Channel knob to select the
required letter in the flashing character position.
The following characters are available:
