When tones are being used, the radios only open squelch when a transmission with a matching tone is present on the frequency. Some services, such as FRS, GMRS, and Business Band refer to these tones as Quiet Codes, Privacy Codes, or similar and use a number to associate a particular tone. The table in the back of the manual provides a cross reference to common associations. For this feature to work, you need to turn on the Tone Mode (see "Setting Squelch Mode"). 41
