USING QUIET CODES
This transceiver uses quiet codes to screen out
unwanted conversations, even if someone is
transmitting nearby on the same channel. When
the quiet code is set, the transceiver sends the
code every time

INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your radio uses three AA batteries for power.
We recommend alkaline batteries (such as Ra-
dioShack Cat. No. 23-552).
Note: Rechargeable batteries do not provide as
much battery life as alkaline batteries. We do not
recommend using rechargeable batteries in this
radio.
1. Be sure the radio is off, then press
the bottom of the radio and lift the battery
compartment cover.
2. Install the batteries as indicated by the
polarity symbols (+ and –) inside the com-
partment. Then replace the cover.
Caution: Do not mix old and new batteries or dif-
ferent types of batteries.
The radio's range decreases as the battery pow-
er decreases. To ensure maximum range, keep
fresh batteries installed in the radio. When the in-
dicator light alternately flashes green and red,
replace the batteries.
