Operating Instructions
1. Setting Channels and Privacy Codes

- Press the Menu/Lock Button twice to enter privacy code selection mode. Use the Up or Down Buttons to select your desired privacy code (0-121). Code 0 means no privacy code.
- Press the PTT Button to confirm your selection and exit the menu.
- Ensure all walkie-talkies intended for communication are set to the identical channel and privacy code.
2. Transmitting and Receiving
- To transmit your voice, press and hold the PTT Button. Speak clearly into the microphone (located near the speaker). Release the PTT Button when you finish speaking to allow the other party to respond.

3. Adjusting Volume
Use the Up and Down Buttons (when not in menu mode) to adjust the speaker volume. The volume level will be displayed on the LCD screen.
4. Call Tone
Press the Call/Ring Button once to send an audible call tone to other walkie-talkies on the same channel and privacy code, alerting them to an incoming transmission.
