Quiet Codes
Quiet codes let you talk and listen to other radios set to the same
channel and quiet code. This is like having a sub-channel within a
channel, giving you greater communication flexibility. When you set a
quiet code (there are 38 to choose from) and turn on this feature, you can
communicate with anyone who has a radio set to the same channel and code.
1. Hold down QUIET/Q-SCAN until QUIET appears and the quiet code flashes.
2. Repeatedly press /\/(music note) or \//SKIP until you see the code
number you want to use. (See the "Quiet Codes Chart" below for a
complete list of quiet codes.)
3. Press QUIET/Q-SCAN to store the code.
4. To turn on or off the quiet code feature, press QUIET/Q-SCAN. QUIET
appears when the feature is on.
Note: We recommend that you select a quiet cod between 7 and 30. If you
select a code below or above that range, you must wait about 2
seconds after holding down LOCK/PTT before you start talking.
Using Quiet Code Scan
1. Press QUIET/Q-SCAN to turn on quiet code. QUIET appears.
2. Hold down FUNC/MON, and press QUIET/Q-SCAN. SCAN appears. When it
receives a signal from a radio with the same quiet code, the radio
stops scanning. Scanning resumes after the signal disappears.
3. Press any key to stop scanning.
