Quiet Codes lets you talk and listen to other
radios set to the same channel and quiet
code. This is like having a sub-channel
within a channel, giving you greater
communication flexibility. When you set a
quiet code (there are 38 codes to choose
from) and turn on this feature, you can
communicate with anyone who has a radio
set to the same channel and code or set to
the channel only.

quiet code flashes on the display.
2. Repeatedly press SCAN/

The EPA certified RBRC ®
Battery Recycling Seal on the
nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery
indicates RadioShack is
voluntarily participating in an
industry program to collect and recycle these
batteries at the end of their useful life, when
taken out of service in the United States or
Canada. The RBRC program provides a
convenient alternative to placing used Ni-Cd
batteries into the trash or the municipal waste
stream, which may be illegal in your area.
Please call 1-800-THE-SHACK (1-800-843-
7422) for information on Ni-Cd battery recycling
and disposal bans/restrictions in your area.
RadioShack’s involvement in this program is
part of the company’s commitment to
preserving our
environment and conserving our
natural resources.
