Note: 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.
Once the Page mode is selected, you can transmit and receive
on the selected channel in the usual way. However, the
Channel switch and the SCAN, OS/GS, DUP and CALL
keys are disabled.
Note: If the selected channel has been tagged for Quiet
operation, the QUIET mode will be automatically selected and
QUIET will be displayed. In this case, you will not be able to
transmit.
If you Selcall Ident is received on the selected
channel:
Your TX4400 will send an acknowledge beep back to the
Caller then change to the Paging channel and transmit the
Page Ident. It will finally return to the selected channel,
sound the alarm and display the Ident or Alpha Name of
the Caller.
Meanwhile the other receiver will be beeping to tell you
that someone has called you. You can then return to your
TX4400, identify the Caller’s Ident and return the call.
Note: Before transmitting on the Paging channel, the
TX4400 will check the channel for activity and will not
transmit if the channel is in use. Only when the channel is
clear will the paging Ident be sent.
