LCD DISPLAY SYMBOLS
NOTE: You can only communicate with another radio that is using the same
channel and/or the same CTCSS code as your radio.
Call Function
You can send a ringer sound to all radios tuned to the same channel and/or
the CTCSS code as your radio. To send a call, quickly press PTT key twice.
Using the Key Lock
You can lock the buttons on the transceiver to avoid accidentally enabling
the device. Press and hold the POWER and MENU buttons to enable or
disable the Key Lock.
Auto-Squelch Function
Your FRS transceiver has an Auto-Squelch function, which means you will
not hear anything on a channel unless someone is transmitting nearby on the
same channel. You can turn off the Auto-Squelch to hear weaker, distant
transmissions by pressing and holding MENU for 2 seconds. The enable the
function again, press and hold MENU for 2 seconds.

active channel. Press a button to set this as your channel. Otherwise, the
scan mode will then immediately search for the next channel if no button is
pressed after 5 seconds. During scan, pressing PTT or MENU key will stop
the scan mode and exit the menu. Or, pressing MENU key will stop scan-
ning and go to the next setting.
Selecting a CTCSS code
The CTCSS is like having a sub-channel within a channel, giving you greater
communication flexibility. It lets you talk and listen to other transmitters set
to BOTH the same channel and CTCSS code. There are 38 CTCSS codes
to choose from (see Appendix).
Scanning the CTCSS
You can also activate the CTCSS scan function by pressing and holding

0 VOX disabled
1 Low sensitivity – only audibly loud voices are
transmitted (useful for noisy environment)
2 Normal sensitivity – ideal setting for voice-
activated transmission

CHARGING CONTACTS
(OPTIONAL)
You can directly charge Ni-MH re-
chargeable batteries without taking bat-
teries out from the battery compartment
by using an optional 2-bay cradle charger
(sold separately). You can recharge up
to two radios at the same time. The LED
on the cradle charger will light red when
the transceivers are charging. Complete
charging takes about 14 to 1 6 hours.
Located inside the transceiver's battery
compartment is a charging switch, which
enables the recharging of batteries. When
placed on the cradle. The switch must be
set to 'ON' when rechargeable batteries are used and recharged using the
cradle. If alkaline batteries are used, the switch should be set to 'OFF'.
WARNING: Do not put transceivers into the charger when using alkaline
batteries.
CAUTION: The cradle charger does not automatically switch off after the
batteries have been fully recharged. As such, there is a danger of overcharg-
ing, which may shorten the batteries' lifespan heavily.
