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, giving you great- er communication flexibility.

4.Hold down FUNC, then press STORE or PTT to store the code.

INSTALLING BATTERIES

Your radio uses four 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).

Caution: Do not mix old and new batteries, dif- ferent types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of dif- ferent capacities.

Be sure the radio is off, then remove the battery compartment as shown below. Slide the battery holder in either direction and install the batteries as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) inside the compartment.

(illus - show batteries being installed in battery pack. Show battery pack being removed from

radio (arrow pointing to removal latch). Also show polarities on batteries/pack and directions of travel of battery retainer slide)

Slide the battery holder to the center of the bat- tery compartment, then snap the battery com- partment onto the radio.
