Privacy Codes
Your radio incorporates two advanced coded squelch systems that can help to reduce
interference from other users on any given channel. CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded
Squelch System) provides 38 privacy codes and DCS (Digitally Coded Squelch) provides
83 privacy codes. This provides a total of 121 Privacy Codes. Either system can be
used on all channels, but both systems cannot be used on the same channel at the same
time.
To successfully communicate using a privacy code, both the sending
and receiving radios must be tuned to the same channel and to the
same privacy code system (CTCSS or DCS) and privacy code number.
Each channel will remember the last privacy code system and number
you select.
The privacy code 00 is not a privacy code, but allows all signals to be
heard on a channel that is set to 00 on both the CTCSS and DCS systems.

Safety Information for Radios
Your wireless handheld portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. When the talk button is
pushed, it sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. The device is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to
exceed 50%. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure
guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless devices
Important
FCC RF Exposure Requirements: For body-worn operation, this radio has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines when used with Craftsman accessories supplied or designated for this product. Use of
other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. Use only the supplied
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments could damage the transmitter and may
violate FCC regulations.
Normal Position
