CTCSS AND DCS CODE CTCSS (Continuous Tone Controlled Squelch System) is a tone code that will be sent during a transmission. This tone cannot be heard. To talk with someone on your walkie-talkie, both of you must be on the same channel CTCSS or DCS. You can set a CTCSS code to prevent interference from other PMR- 446 radio s using the same channel. The FR-76 provides also DCS codes. DCS is a digitally coded system but works the same as a CTCSS code. Because DCS is not provided on most random walkie-talkies, the chance being interfered by other users is less. NOTE: * CTCSS and DCS codes cannot be used on the same channel at the same time. As soon as one of the systems is set, the other one is automatically switched off. * Be sure both sending and receiving walkie-talkies must be turned to the same CTCSS or DCS code to be able to communicate. WARNING: * Using a CTCSS or DCS code only helps to reduce interference from other users. Your communication is NOT private. Every walkie-talkie without a CTCSS or DCS system or walkie-talkies that use the privacy code 00 can hear your conversation. 18

USER TIPS GENERAL: The FR-76 is a receiver/transmitter using radio waves in the 446MHz band. Communication interference may occur through external influences such as other walkie-talkies, transmitters, mobile phones etc. If your walkie-talkie encounters or causes interference, changing channel may be a solution. The use of this walkie-talkie is permitted in all EU countries. If you plan to take the FR-76 to countries outside the EU, please check the local conditions and restrictions concerning the use of PMR446 devices. Be aware that the signal of the FR-76 can also be received by other walkie-talkies or receivers and therefore your conversations can be heard by others. It is forbidden to repair, adjust or modify the electronics or antenna of the FR-76 in any way whatsoever. Only qualified engineers are allowed to maintain and service this device. Do not use the FR-76 outdoors during a thunderstorm. POWER SUPPLY: The battery indicator displays the usage of your batteries: = full, = 1/3 full, please replace or charge your batteries. * The FR-76 desktop charger is only compatible with the supplied battery pack. Do not use a different charger. Be sure to switch the walkie-talkies off before placing them in the charge cradles. * Single rechargeable batteries can only be recharged using a different charger. * Non-rechargeable batteries should be replaced. 19

RADIO CONNECTION: The FR-76 optimal range has a coverage up to 7 kilometers. This range depends on the local circumstances such as the presence of high buildings, high-voltage lines or overhead wires. An optimal talk range occurs in flat, open areas. CTCSS OR DCS CODE: A walkie-talkie that does not use a CTCSS or DCS code is able to receive the signals from all walkie-talkies that transmit on the same channel. Talking back is only possible if both receiving and sending walkie-talkies are set to the same CTCSS or DCS code. MAINTENANCE: * Use a damp cloth to clean the FR-76. * Do not expose the FR-76 to direct sunlight and avoid placing it in moist environments. * Avoid moisture and/or sand to penetrate your device. ENVIRONMENT: * When discarding the walkie-talkie, please return it to your supplier. They will dispose of it in an environmental responsible manner. * Do not dispose of empty or used batteries in normal domestic waste but enter them into a recycling scheme or return them to your supplier. 20
