distributed is subject to
government regulations and may
be prohibited.

Batteries
T5320, T5410 and T5420 radios operate with 3 AA

Latch down to secure.
Note: Your radio will retain its settings for 10
minutes after the batteries are removed. After 10
minutes, your radio will go back to its factory
settings.
Radio Etiquette:
Your radio has multiple channels shared on a “take turns” basis. This means other groups may be talking on the
channels. For uninterrupted communications, do not talk over someone who is already using the channel – your
message may not be completely heard. Try changing the channel to avoid channel congestion or use the Monitor
button to check for channel activity. If you hear static while holding down the Monitor button the channel is clear for
use.

Note: Since the channels are shared, your conversations will not be private and you may hear others talking.
