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  
and the batteries, then use your thumb or a coin  
to turn CODE to the quiet code (A to G) you want  
to use or 0 if you do not want to use a quiet  
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.  
Note:

When you set a quiet code, that quiet code is  
automatically set for all channels.  
change the radio’s quiet code setting before you  
finish installing the batteries and replacing the  
radio’s battery compartment cover. See “Using  
the Quiet Feature” on Page 6 for more informa-  
tion.

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.
