CONTROLS

        VOL/OFF - turns on or off the radio and adjusts the volume.

            PTT - To talk, hold down this button and wait about 1 second,
                  then speak into the microphone.  The TX indicator
                  lights.  Release PTT when you finish speaking.

           CALL - sends a paging tone to all radios tuned to the same
                  frequency.
                  (Important:  Do not hold down CALL for more than 10
                  seconds.  The FCC does not allow you to send a
                  continuous tone for more than 10 seconds at a time on
                  FRS frequencies.)

            MON - turns off the auto squelch (see "Auto-Squelch", below).
                  To turn auto squelch back on, release this button.

          QUIET - sets the quiet code and turns on or off the quiet
                  feature (see "Using Quiet Codes", below).

CHANNEL /\ (Up) - raise and lower the channel number.
  and \/ (Down)

     LIGHT/LOCK - lights the display for 5 seconds and locks CHANNEL /\ /
                  \/, CALL, LIGHT, and QUIET to prevent accidental
                  operation.  (It does not affect MON.)  To turn it on or
                  off, hold down LIGHT/LOCK until (key symbol) appears or
                  disappears.

DISPLAY AND INDICATORS

         1-24 - shows the selected channel (1-14 or quiet code (17-24).

(BATT SYMBOL) - flashes when the batteries are low.

 (KEY SYMBOL) - appears when you lock the key-pad.

         BUSY - appears when you receive.

        QUIET - appears when the quiet mode (CTCSS) is set.  The indicator
                flashes while you are selecting the quiet (CTCSS) code.

           TX - lights when you transmit a message or press CALL.

       CHARGE - lights when batteries are charging.

USING QUIET CODES

This radio uses quiet (CTCSS) codes to screen out unwanted conversations,
even if someone is transmitting nearby on the same channel.  When a quiet
code is set, the radio sends it every time PTT or CALL is pressed and only
responds to signals that have the same code.  Radios you plan to use
together must be set to the same code.

This radio has these quiet (CTCSS) codes.

  Channel    Frequency             Channel      Frequency

    17        118.8 Hz                21         136.5 Hz
    18        123.0 Hz                22         141.3 Hz
    19        127.8 Hz                23         146.2 Hz
    20        131.8 Hz                24         151.4 Hz

To set the radio to use one of the codes:

1.  Hold down QUIET until the QUIET indicator flashes.

2.  While the indicator flashes, repeatedly press CHANNEL /\ or \/ to
    select the quiet code.

3.  Press QUIET again.  QUIET stays lit and the quiet (CTCSS) code is set.

To turn off the quiet feature, press QUIET so QUIET disappears.  To turn
it on and use the previously set code again, hold down QUIET so QUIET
reappears.

AUTO-SQUELCH

Your radio has auto-squelch, which means you won't hear anything on a
channel unless someone is transmitting nearby on the same channel.  To
turn off auto-squelch (so you can hear weaker, distant transmissions),
hold down MON (monitor).  Release MON to turn auto-squelch back on.

AUTO POWER SAVE

The automatic power save feature extends battery life by reducing the
power the radio uses until it receives a signal or you press a key.
Because the receiving radio might be in this mode, wait about 1 second
after pressing PTT to allow the receiving radio to come to full power
before speaking into the microphone.

FCC INFORMATION

IMPORTANT:  Do not open your radio to make any internal adjustments.  Your
            radio is set up to transmit a regulated signal on an assigned
            frequency.  It is illegal to alter or adjust the settings
            inside the radio to exceed those limitations.  Any adjustments
            made to your radio must be made by a qualified technician
            using the proper test equipment.  To be safe and sure:

              Never open your radio's case.

              Never change or replace anything in your radio except the
              batteries.

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 by:

  moving your radio away from the receiver.

  calling your local RadioShack store for help.

Using your radio as described in this manual exposes you to RF energy well
below the FCC's recommended limits.

This device complies with Part 15 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.

Modifying or tampering with the radio's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate the radio's warranty and void your FCC
authorization to operate it.  If your radio is not performing as it
should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
