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 as your radio. This is like having a sub-channel within a channel, giv- ing you greater communication flexibility.

When you set a quiet code (there are 38 to choose from) and turn on this feature, the radio transmits a tone with your transmission. This tone is too low for you to hear, but other radios can detect it. This prevents radios which are not set to the same channel and quiet code from in- terfering with your transmissions or reception.

Follow these steps to set a quiet code.

1.Repeatedly press MODE until QUIET and the previously set quiet code appear and flash.

2.Rotate CHANNEL/QUIET/VOLUME clock- wise or counterclockwise until you see the code number (1–38) you want to use.

QUIET flashes for 5 seconds after you stop rotating CHANNEL/QUIET/VOLUME, then the selected channel number reappears.

OPERATION

INSTALLING BATTERIES

Your radio uses an optional Ni-MH recharge- able battery pack (RSU No. 12016481, avail- able through your local RadioShack store) or three alkaline AA batteries (not supplied) for power.

Cautions:

Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.

Note: You need an optional desktop charger (Cat. No. 21-1830), to charge the battery pack before you can use it. Follow the directions sup- plied with the optional desktop charger to charge the battery pack.

Be sure the radio is off, then remove the belt clip. Use a coin or a screwdriver to loosen the screw on the battery compartment cover, then slide the cover down and off and install the bat- tery pack or batteries as shown.

Lock Pin

Note: If you will not be using the radio for sever- al months, remove the batteries.
