SETTING A CHANNEL
INSTALLING BATTERIES
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.
Your radio uses three 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).
Be sure the radio is off, then remove the battery
compartment cover by pushing both latches to-
ward the back of the radio and sliding the cover
off. Then install the batteries according to the
correct polarity (+ and –) as shown.
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

code. The set code shows below CODE as you
turn it.

Caution:
Do not mix old and new batteries, dif-
ferent types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or
rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of dif-
ferent capacities.

Listening Safely
Traffic Safety
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use an earphone.
Do not wear an earphone
while operating a motor vehi-
cle or riding a bicycle. This can
create a traffic hazard and
could be illegal in some areas.
•
Set the volume to the lowest setting
before you begin listening. Then
adjust the volume to a comfortable
level.
Note:
Your local RadioShack store
has a wide selection of external mi-
crophones and earphones.
Even though some earphones
let you hear outside sounds
when listening at normal vol-
ume levels, they still can
present a traffic hazard.
• Don’t listen at extremely high vol-
ume levels.
•
Once you set the volume, don’t
increase it.
