Low Battery Alert:

and after release of the Push-To-

Interference Eliminator Code:

Codes .filter out static, noise and unwanted messages
on radio channels. You can only communicate with

-, radios using the same channel and code.
Since radio channels can be monitored, this will not

make your conversations private. To avoid congested

•. channels, change the radio's channel/code setting.

Note: Remove batteries before storing your radio
for extended periods. Batteries corrode over time and
may cause permanent damage to your radio.
