USING QUIET CODES  
Quiet Codes let you talk and listen to  
other radios set to the same channel  
and CTCSS (quiet code). This is similar  
to having a sub-channel within a  
channel, giving you greater  
communication flexibility. When you set  
a quiet code (there are 38 codes to  
choose from) and turn on this feature,  
you can communicate with any user  
who has a radio set to the same  
channel and quiet code.  
Ô NOTE Ô  
To quickly find a  
quiet code, hold  
down d/CALL until  
the desired quiet  
code appears, then  
release d/CALL.  
1. Hold down QUIET until the quiet  
code flashes.  
2. Repeatedly press e/SCAN or  
d/CALL until you see the desired  
quiet code. (See “Quiet Codes” on  
Page 10 for a complete list of quiet  
codes.) Ô  
We recommend that  
you select a quiet  
code from the range  
7–30. If you select a  
code below or above  
that range, you must  
wait 1 to 2 seconds  
after holding down  
TALK before you  
start talking.  
3. Press QUIET to store the quiet  
code.  
4. To turn off the quiet code feature,  
press QUIET. The quiet code  
disappears.

When the keys are  
locked, you can call  
other GMRS/FRS radios  
set to the same  
frequency by holding  
down CALL. You can  
still send a page to other  
GMRS/FRS radios set  
to the same frequency  
by holding down TALK.  
USING VOX  
VOX allows you to transmit hands-free  
when using the radio. To activate VOX,  
press VOX/MENU. VOX appears. The  
radio automatically transmits when you  
speak and is set to receive when you  
are not speaking. To turn off VOX,

Setting VOX Sensitivity  
To adjust the radio’s sensitivity, rotate  
VOX clockwise for quiet conditions or  
counterclockwise if you are in a noisy  
environment.  
USING SKIP  
When the radio is set to scan all the  
channels automatically, you can skip  
unnecessary channels. Follow these  
steps to skip channels:  
1. Hold down MON/DUAL WATCH and  
press e/SCAN on the selected  
channels until appears.  
2. To cancel this function, hold down

press e/SCAN or d/CALL until the  
channel you wish to store appears.  
Then press and hold M1, M2, or M3 to  
store the channel into memory. M1, M2,
