Talking and Listening
Before You Can Talk
To talk with someone on your two-way radio, both of you must be on the same
channel, interference eliminator code, and Eavesdrop Reducer code (T6210 and
T6220 only).
The channel is the radio frequency wave your radio uses to transmit. The
interference eliminator code filters out static, noise, and unwanted messages. Refer
to the Frequency and Code Charts beginning on page 48 for channel and code
choices. The Eavesdrop Reducer code makes your transmissions sound garbled to
anyone listening who is not set to that code. See page 38.
Setting the Channel
The red indicator light above the
P
button flashes quickly whenever the channel is
in use. Keep scrolling until you find a clear channel.
To set the channel, press
\
once. The channel number begins to
blink. Then press
[
or
]
to set the channel. Then proceed to the
next menu or wait 10 seconds to save the channel setting. To quickly
exit the menu and go back to the first display screen, press
M
.
