SETTING A CHANNEL
You can communicate with anyone who has a
radio set to the same channel. See "Using the
Radio" on Pages 4 and 5 for information about
changing your radio's channel.
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, which gives you
greater communication flexibility. When you set
a quiet code (7 to choose from), you can com-
municate 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
