range voice radio communication (up to
five miles) to let families and groups
keep in touch with each other on
specific reserved channels.
Your radio has 22 channels and 38

different quiet codes, which you can
use to talk with another person who has
a GMRS or FRS radio set to the same
frequency as your radio. Your radio
also has auto-squelch, so you will not
hear anything on a channel unless
someone is transmitting nearby on the
same channel.
Batteries
You can connect an optional speaker/
microphone and earphone to the radio

Your radio also features:
• Channel Scan — use to find other
GMRS/FRS users.
• Key Beep — each time you press
a key, except PTT or FUNC, the
radio beeps once.
• Vibrate — vibrates for two
seconds when receiving a signal if
the radio has been idle for more
than 30 seconds.

SELECTING QUIET CODES
Continuous Tone Coded Squelch
System (CTCSS) codes, known as
quiet codes, let you talk and listen to
other radios set to the same channel
and quiet code. This is like having a
sub-channel within a channel, giving
you greater communication flexibility.
When you set a quiet code (there are
38 codes to choose from) and turn on
this feature, you can communicate with
anyone who has a radio set to the
same channel and quiet code.
To select the desired quiet code, hold
down FUNC. FUNC appears on the
display. Repeatedly press or hold down
or until you see the code number
you want to use.

DIRECT CALL
OPERATION
The Direct Call data includes the
transmitter ID and receiver ID
information. You can use the
transmitter to select the receiver radio’s
ID number you want to call, and the
receiver radio only receives the Direct
Call data you select. The Direct Call
data communication is based on the
same Channel and CTCSS code
setting. You cannot establish
communication if the Channel and
CTCSS code for both radios are not the
same.
Direct Call data is sent when user
presses CALL. The radio transmits
Direct Call data to the desired radio.
At the same time, the other radio
checks the receiving Direct Call data at
the same Channel and CTCSS code. If
the Call ID number matches its Home
ID (Receiver ID number) or equivalent
Group Call, then it recognizes that the
call is addressed to this radio. As a
result, the receiver will display the
Sender ID number on the display and
generate a call melody. There are five
different call melodies to let the user
determine who is transmitting a call
17
After Direct Call transmission is
completed, the radio (transmitter and
receiver) will change its CTCSS code
setting to Private code for 15 seconds.
The Private code is used to avoid
interruption from the original Channel
and CTCSS code. In the 15-second
period, both radios can only transmit
and receive voice messages at the
original Channel with Private Code.
Also, the ID icon on both radios flashes
on the display to indicate this 15-
second period. When conversation is
made within this period, the 15-second
time- out is extended for another 15
seconds. To exit the 15-second period,
press CALL or wait for the 15-second
time-out.
After a 15-second time out, both radios
are restored to their original settings
and the display reverts back to the
display without Direct Call function.
On the other hand, if you do not press
any key on the receiver after a Direct
Call is received, the radio’s display
continues showing the received ID
number and MISS ID (Missed ID) flashes
until you press any key (except FUNC).
Also, the radio generates a beep to
remind you that there is an incoming
call and it continues beeping once

every 10 minutes for a period 30
minutes.To stop the beeps, press any
key except FUNC.
