Your radio has auto-squelch, so you will not  
hear anything on a channel unless someone  
is transmitting nearby on the same channel.  
You can use MON (monitor) to temporarily  
turn off auto-squelch to hear weaker, distant  
transmissions.

Installing Batteries

rechargeable nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) /  
nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries (not  
supplied) for power. For the best

to turn off the radio.  
Recharging Ni-Cd or Ni-MH Batteries  
You must use a Class 2 power source that  
supplies regulated 6V DC (Not more than 6V)  
and delivers at least 600mA. Its center tip must  
be set to positive and its plug must fit the  
radio’s DC 6V jack. Using an adapter that does  
not meet these specifications could damage  
the radio or the adapter.  
2. Pull down the latch on the battery  
compartment cover and remove the  
cover.  
3. Slide CHARGE ON/OFF inside the  
battery compartment to OFF (for  
alkaline batteries) or ON (for Ni-Cd or  
Ni-MH rechargeable batteries).  
3. Set CHARGE ON/OFF to ON.R  
4. Place four Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries in  
the compartment according to the  
polarity symbols (+ and ) marked  
inside. Then replace the cover and push  
the latch up until it clicks.  
Always connect the adapter to the radio before  
you connect it to an external power source  
(such as an AC outlet or a vehicle cigarette-  
lighter socket). When you finish, disconnect  
the adapter from the power source before you  
disconnect it from the radio.  
4. Install four AAA batteries according to  
the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked  
inside.  
5. Replace the cover and push the latch  
up until it clicks, then rotate VOL/OFF  
clockwise until it clicks to turn on the  
radio.  
5. Attach the Adaptaplug to the adapter so  
TIP reads positive (+).

6. Connect the Adaptaplug’s other end to  
the radio’s DC 6V jack and plug the  
adapter into a standard AC outlet or a  
vehicle’s power source.  
Never install non-rechargeable batteries when  
CHARGE ON/OFF is set to ON. Non-  
rechargeable batteries can get hot or explode  
if you try to recharge them.  
The battery icon segments on the display  
show how much power remains. When È  
flashes, replace the alkaline batteries or  
recharge the Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries.  
Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.  
Do not burn or bury them.

Using Voice Operated Transmission  
(VOX)  
Your radio has built-in Voice Operated  
Transmission (VOX), which allows you to  
transmit without holding down PTT, by  
talking through the microphone or using  
VOX accessories (available at your local  
RadioShack store).  
The VOX sensitivity levels (Hi or Lo) allow  
you to compensate for background noise.  
This minimizes the chance of unintended  
sounds making a transmission.  
VOX is disabled while you are receiving a  
transmission.  
When you use a VOX accessory, turn off the  
radio, then insert the VOX headset into the  
radio’s earbud/mic jack and turn on the  
radio. The VOX function activates  
automatically, and LEN flashes. The  
sensitivity level is automatically set to HI if  
VOX is off before inserting the VOX  
headset.  
Using the Backlight  
You cannot turn on the backlight while the  
radio is receiving a signal.

To be safe:  
This equipment has been tested and found  
to comply with the limits for a Class B digital  
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC  
Rules. These limits are designed to provide  
reasonable protection against harmful  
interference in a residential installation. This  
equipment generates, uses and can radiate  
radio frequency energy and, if not installed  
and used in accordance with the

• Never change or replace anything in  
your radio except the batteries.  
Do not open your radio to make any internal  
adjustments. Your radio is set up to transmit a  
regulated signal on one of 14 assigned  
frequencies. It is illegal to alter or adjust the  
settings inside the radio to exceed those  
limitations. Any adjustments to your radio must  
be made by a qualified technician using the  
proper test equipment.  
Your radio might cause TV or radio  
interference even when it is operating  
properly. To determine whether your radio is  
causing the interference, turn it off. If the  
interference goes away, your radio is  
causing it. Try to eliminate the interference

instructions, may cause harmful interference  
to radio communications.  
However, there is no guarantee that  
interference will not occur in a particular  
installation. If this equipment does cause  
harmful interference to radio or television  
reception, which can be determined by  
turning the equipment off and on, the user is  
encouraged to try to correct the interference  
by one or more of the following measures:  
• Moving your radio away from the  
receiver.  
• Calling your local RadioShack store for  
help.  
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the  
FCC requires that you stop using the radio.  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
This device complies with Part15 of the FCC  
Rules. Operation is subject to the following  
two conditions: (1) This device may not  
cause harmful interference, and (2) this  
device must accept any interference  
received, including interference that may  
cause undesired operation.  
Increase the separation between the  
equipment and receiver.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a  
circuit different from that to which the  
receiver is needed.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/  
TV technician for help.

Your wireless handheld portable transceiver  
contains a low power transmitter. When the  
Push-To-Talk (PTT) button is pressed, it  
sends out radio frequency signals. The  
device is authorized to operate at a duty  
factor not to exceed fifty percent. In August  
1996, the Federal Communications  
Commission adopted RF exposure  
guidelines with safety levels for handheld  
wireless devices..  
."%#76+10".  
To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF  
exposure guidelines, hold the transmitter  
and antenna at least 2 inches (5 cm) from  
your face and speak in a normal voice, with  
the antenna pointed up and away from your  
face. If you wear the handset on your body  
while using the headset accessory, use only  
the supplied belt clip for this product and  
when transmitting, take it out of the belt to  
ensure the antenna is at least 1 inch
