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. When you set a qui-
et code (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.

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

and directions of travel of battery

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