NOTES:
If unit sounds weak or distorted, ‘test or replace battery before
attempting any service on this unit.
A weak or dead battery should be removed immediately, since
leaking chemicals from such batteries can cause internal damage.
If unit is not used, or is stored for a long period of time, remove
battery.

tuned to this same frequency, No attempt should be made to increase
the length of antenna or battery voltage as this may result in exceeding
the F.C.C. authorized limit of 100 milliwatts input for unlicensed
transmitters, The battery supplied with this unit is a standard 9 volt
006P type, Radio Shack stock No. 23-464, Equivalent batteries are
Burgess 2U6, Eveready 216, R.C.A. VS312, Rayovac 1604.
Battery Installation
Remove the battery cover by using a coin edge in the slot in the bottom
of the case. Snap the battery connector onto the battery and place it
in position. Replace the case back. .
To Operate
Extend the antenna to its full length. Rotate on/off switch down. You
will hear a hissing sound, indicating that the receiver is working. Any
station within receiving range which is transmitting on channel 14
should be heard.
To Transmit
Press the push-to-talk button, hold the unit about three inches from

button in and upwards, This will aid in long periods of transmission.
To release, press downwards,
To Receive
Release pressure on switch button and listen.
There are many factors, such as terrain, height above ground, local re-
ceiving
conditions,
etc.,
that
affect
the
distance
range
obtainable.
For
maximum
range,
make
sure
that
the
battery
used
is
at
full
strength
and
antenna
is
extended
to
its
full
length.
Often
changing
your
location
even
slightly
can
affect
reception
and
transmission
quite
a
bit.
This
is
because trees, buildings, electrical equipment and bodies of water all
have their effect-on radio signals.
