through Figure 34.

The complete binding code is always eight digits, but only seven
digits can be assigned. Digit 8 is locked with a value of 0.

other radios in the network, see Set Binding Code Values for a
Replacement Radio in the Radio Setup Menu.

each system uses its own unique binding code.
