Understanding Frequencies 
and Codes

 

Frequencies:

 

Your radio operates on a group of frequencies
(see page 10 for complete listing). You
access frequency(ies) through radio chan-
nel(s). You can operate on any of your radio’s
frequencies, but each must be licensed
through the FCC (see page 2).

To understand the difference between fre-
quencies and channels, think of channels as
pre-set buttons on your car stereo and the
frequencies as the many radio stations avail-
able. You can select and save different sta-
tions (frequencies) to pre-set buttons
(channels) for easy access.

 

Interference Eliminator Codes:

 

Codes filter out static, noise and unwanted
chatter on radio channels (see page 11 for
complete listing). When you operate on a fre-
quency with a code set, you block out most
interference on the frequency. This allows you
to communicate with less interference than
when operating without a code. Remember,
since radio frequencies can be monitored,
codes will not make your conversations private.

 

•  For compatibility with radios that do not

have codes, the radio can be set to Code
“Off" in the programming mode. See fol-
lowing instructions.

 

There are settings programmed into your radio
for frequencies and codes. If it is necessary to
confirm settings or to change them for licens-
ing purposes, the radio will audibly guide you
through a series of programming steps. If you
have questions, please call Motorola Product
Services at 1-800-448-6686.

IMPORTANT

 

To talk to others in your group all radios
must be set to the same channel and code.
