Installing Batteries

Your radio uses an optional Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack (RSU No. 
12016481, available through your local RadioShack store) or three alkaline 
AA batteries (not supplied) for power.

CAUTIONS:  Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended
           type.

           Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries
           (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable) or rechargeable batteries
           of different capacities.

Note:  You need an optional desktop charger (Cat. No. 21-1830) to charge
       the battery pack before you can use it.  Follow the directions
       supplied with the optional desktop charger to charge the battery
       pack.

Hold down POWER until the radio is off, then remove the belt clip.  Use a 
coin or a screwdriver to loosen the screw on the battery compartment 
cover, then slide the cover down and off and install the battery pack or 
batteries as shown in the battery compartment.

Note:  If you will not be using the radio for several months, remove the
       batteries.

Using the Radio

To turn the radio ON or OFF, hold down POWER for about 1 second.

To hear everything on a channel, including weak transmissions and radios 
set to a different quiet code, hold down MON (monitor).  RX appears.  
Release MON to turn auto-squelch back on.

To talk, hold down PTT (push to talk) and speak into the microphone  TX 
appears.  When you finish speaking, release PTT.  TX disappears.

As you use the radio, the battery icon's elements on the display disappear 
to show how much power remains.  When only one element remains, recharge 
the battery pack or replace the batteries.

You can cause a paging tone to sound on all radios tuned to the same 
channel (and quiet code, if used).  To send a page, hold down CALL for up 
to 5 seconds.  TX appears.

Rotate SELECT to adjust the voice volume, channel, quiet code, ringer 
volume, and TX power level.  If the transmission is weak, set the TX power 
level to HI.

For more convenient listening, connect an optional speaker/microphone with 
a 1/8 inch plug and a 3/32 inch plug to the EAR/MIC jacks (or an earphone 
with a 1/8 inch plug to EAR jack).

Repeatedly press MODE to switch between channel, quiet, volume and TX 
modes (see "Using the Quiet Feature" below).

You can lock the radio's volume at any time by holding down MODE for 2 
seconds.  (key symbol) appears, and you cannot use SELECT to adjust the 
volume.  Hold down MODE again for 2 seconds to unlock the volume.  (key 
symbol) disappears.

Notes:  The backlight turns on for 10 seconds whenever you press MODE,
        CALL, or POWER, or rotate CHANNEL/QUIET/VOLUME.

        To attach the belt clip, slide the belt clip onto the tab on the
        back of the radio.

Using the Quiet Feature

The quiet feature lets you talk and listen to people who are using other 
radios set to the same channel and quiet code as your radio.  This is like 
having a sub-channel within a channel, giving you greater communication 
flexibility.

When you set a quiet code (there are 38 to choose from) and turn on this 
feature, the radio transmits a tone with your transmission.  This tone is 
too low for you to hear, but other radios can detect it.  This prvents 
radios which are not set to the same channel and quiet code from 
interfering with your transmissions or reception.

Follow these steps to set a quiet code.

1.  Repeatedly press MODE until QUIET and the previously set quiet code
    appear and flash.

2.  Rotate SELECT clockwise or counterclockwise until you see the code
    number (1-38) you want to use.  QUIET flashes for 5 seconds after you
    stop rotating SELECT, then the selected channel number reappears.  If
    you do not want to use the quiet feature, set the quiet code to 00.
