You must use a Class 2 power

!source that supplies regulated 6V DC and delivers at least 600

mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the radio's DC 6V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifi- cations could damage the radio or the adapter.

???Always connect the AC adapter to the radio before you connect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from the radio.

???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.

???If you do not plan to use the radio for a month or more, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

You can use your radio while charging the batteries if you connect it to a DC-DC regulated and filtered adapter (such as RadioShack Cat. No. 273-1859), but not if you connect it to an AC-DC regulated adapter (such as Cat. No. 273-1762).

Your radio requires 4 AAA alkaline or rechargeable nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd)/ nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack batteries. R??.

You can also recharge Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries inside the radio at home or in your vehicle, using a 6V, 600mA AC or DC adapter and a size F AdaptaplugTM connector (neither supplied). Both adapters and the Adaptaplug are available at your local RadioShack store. R??.

1.Rotate VOLUME/ON/OFF counterclockwise until it clicks.

2.Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow to remove it.

3.Slide CHARGE ON/OFF inside the battery compartment to OFF (for alkaline batteries) or ON (for Ni-Cd or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries).

4.Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and ???) marked inside.

Key Tone??? sounds to show that you pressed a key (see ???Setting the Key Tone??? on Page 3).

38 Quiet Codes ??? eliminate interference from other radios that are not tuned to the same channel and quiet code as your radio (see ???Using Quiet Codes??? on Page 2).

Your radio has auto-squelch, so you will not hear anything on a channel unless someone is transmitting nearby on the same channel. You can use the MON (monitor) key to temporarily turn off auto-squelch to hear weaker, distant transmissions.

You can connect an optional speaker/ microphone and earphone to the radio (neither supplied, available at your local RadioShack store).

5.Replace the cover. Then rotate VOLUME ON/OFF clockwise until it clicks to turn on the radio. If you installed alkaline batteries, stop here.

6.If you installed rechargeable batteries, attach the Adaptaplug to the adapter so TIP reads positive (+).

7.Connect the Adaptaplug???s other end to DC 6V, then plug the adapter into a

standard AC outlet or your vehicle???s cigarette-lighter adapter. ??

Complete charging takes about 10 hours. Average charging time varies, depending on capacity. Typically, Ni-MH batteries charge in about 10 hours. Ni-Cd batteries charge in about 4 hours.

When charging is complete, unplug the AC or DC adapter from the power source, then disconnect it from the radio???s DC 6V jack. #

Quiet Codes lets 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 code or set to the channel only.

1.Repeatedly press MENU/QUIET until the quiet code flashes on the display.

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.

When the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button is pressed, it sends out radio frequency signals. The device is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed fifty percent. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless devices.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

???Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

???Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

???Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is needed.

???Consult your local RadioShack store or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your radio.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by RadioShack may cause interference and void the user???s authority to operate the equipment.

You must use shielded interface cables with this equipment.

Do not open your radio to make any internal adjustments. Your radio is set up to transmit a regulated signal on one of 14 assigned frequencies. It is illegal to alter or adjust the settings inside the radio to exceed those limitations. Any adjustments to your radio must be made by a qualified technician using the proper test equipment. .

???To maintain compliance with the FCC???s RF exposure guidelines, hold the transmitter and antenna at least 2 inches (5 cm) from your face and speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away from your face. If you wear the handset on your body while using the headset accessory, use only the supplied belt clip for this product and when transmitting, take it out of the belt to ensure the antenna is at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from your body.

???Use only the supplied antenna. Unauth- orized antennas, modifications, or attach- ments could damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.
