Talking and Listening

Before You Can Talk

To talk with someone on your two-way radio, both of you must be on the same channel, interference eliminator code, and Eavesdrop Reducer code (T6210 and T6220 only).

The channel is the radio frequency wave your radio uses to transmit. The interference eliminator code filters out static, noise, and unwanted messages. Refer to the Frequency and Code Charts beginning on page 48 for channel and code choices. The Eavesdrop Reducer code makes your transmissions sound garbled to anyone listening who is not set to that code. See page 38.

Setting the Channel

To set the channel, press \ once. The channel number begins to blink. Then press [ or ] to set the channel. Then proceed to the next menu or wait 10 seconds to save the channel setting. To quickly exit the menu and go back to the first display screen, press M.

The red indicator light above the P button flashes quickly whenever the channel is in use. Keep scrolling until you find a clear channel.
