If the pack is installed incorrectly, the unit will not operate and the compartment door will not close properly. 4) Replace the battery compartment and secure the clip back in place. 5) The battery pack must be charged before using it for the first time. Insert the charger adapter into the accessory jack and allow 12-14 hours charging time to fully charge the battery pack. Choosing a CTCSS Code Each of the GMRS/FRS channels 1-15 may have any one of the codes 0-38 selected.
