SETTING A CHANNEL

You can communicate with anyone who has a radio set to the same channel.

USING THE QUIET FEATURE

The quiet feature lets you talk and listen to people who are using other
radios set to the same channel and quiet code.  This is like having
a sub-channel within a channel, which gives you greater communication
flexibility.  When you set a quiet code (7 to choose from), you can
communicate with anyone who has a radio set to the same channel and code.
Your radio is preset to not use a quiet code, but you can change that.

To set a quiet code, remove the battery cover and the batteries, then use
your thumb or a coin to turn CODE to the quiet code (A to G) you want
to use or 0 if you do not want to use a quiet code.  The set code shows
below CODE as you turn it.

When you set a quiet code, the quiet feature is automatically turned
on for all channels.

Push back latches till orange tab appears.

USING THE RADIO

To talk, hold the radio straight up and down with the microphone at
least 2 inches from your mouth, then hold down PUSH TO TALK and speak
into the microphone.  When you finish speaking, release PUSH TO TALK.
(Do not touch the antenna while you press PUSH TO TALK.)

To hear everything happening on a channel, including weak transmissions
and radios set to a different quiet code, hold down MONITOR.  Release
MONITOR to turn auto-squelch back on.


Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an earphone.

  Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening.  Then
  adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

  Don't listen at extremely high volume levels.

  Once you set the volume, don't increase it.


Traffic Safety

Do not wear an earphone while operating a motor vehicle or riding a
bicycle.  This can create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in
some areas.

Even through some earphones let you hear outside sounds when listening
at normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.

To remove the attached belt clip, slide it up while using your fingernail
to pull the belt clip's tab toward you.  To reattach the belt clip, slide
it down onto the back of the radio until it clicks.

To connect an external microphone or earphone, pull up the accessory
cover on the slide of the radio, then plug the microphone's 3/32-inch
plug into the radio's microphone jack or the earphone's 1/8-inch plug
into the radio's earphone jack.

NOTE:  Your local Radio Shack store has a wide selection of external
       microphones and earphones.
