USING THE QUIET FEATURE  
INSTALLING BATTERIES  
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, giving you great-  
er communication flexibility. When you set a qui-  
et code (38 to choose from) and turn on this  
feature, you can communicate with anyone who  
has a radio set to the same channel and code.  
Your radio uses four 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).  
Caution:  
Do not mix old and new batteries, dif-  
ferent types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or  
rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of dif-  
ferent capacities.
