Radio Etiquette:
Your radio has multiple channels shared on a “take turns” basis. This means other groups may be talking on the channels. For uninterrupted communications, do not talk over someone who is already using the channel – your message may not be completely heard. Try changing the channel to avoid channel congestion or use the Monitor button to check for channel activity. If you hear static while holding down the Monitor button the channel is clear for use.
Note: Since the channels are shared, your conversations will not be private and you may hear others talking.
