SETTING A CHANNEL
You can communicate with anyone who has a
radio set to the same channel. See “Using the
Radio” on Pages 4 and 5 for information about
changing your radio’s channel.
USING THE QUIET FEATURE
The quiet feature lets you talk and listen to peo-
ple who are using other radios set to the same
channel
and quiet code. This is like having a
sub-channel within a channel, which gives you
greater communication flexibility. When you set
a quiet code (7 to choose from), you can com-
municate with anyone who has a radio set to the
same channel and code. Your radio is preset to
not use a quiet code, but you can change that.
To set a quiet code, remove the battery cover
and the batteries, then use your thumb or a coin
to turn
CODE to the quiet code ( A to G ) you want
to use or 0 if you do not want to use a quiet
code. The set code shows below CODE as you
turn it.
When you set a quiet code, that quiet code is
automatically set for all channels.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your radio uses three AA batteries for power.
You can use alkaline or rechargeable batteries.
(If you use rechargeable batteries, you must
charge them before you can use them in the ra-
dio).
Be sure the radio is off, then remove the battery
compartment cover by pushing both latches to-
ward the back of the radio and sliding the cover
off. Then install the batteries according to the
correct polarity (+ and –) as shown.
Caution: Do not mix old and new batteries, dif-
ferent types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or
rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of dif-
ferent capacities.
Note: If you plan to use a quiet code, you can
change the radio’s quiet code setting before you
finish installing the batteries and replacing the
radio’s battery compartment cover. See “Using
the Quiet Feature” on Page 6 for more informa-
tion.
