Frequently asked questions
How do I install the battery in the CL230U?
Align the top of the battery with the radio’s compartment and slide it upward until a click is heard, indicating the battery is fully engaged.
What does the emergency call button do?
When held for about three seconds, it sends a DTMF identity code and an alarm tone to other radios while the device itself remains silent; the LCD shows “EMERGEN”.
