The manual isn't online to my knowledge however I did find a guide on how to program it.
"Turn it on. Push the "MANUAL" button to stop it from scanning.
Push number 1, then push "MANUAL" again. This should leave you on channel one.
Using the keypad enter the frequency you want to monitor, then push "E." Press "REVIEW" at anytime to see what frequency is programmed there. If the review button flashes 000.0000 on the LED readout display, you might be entering an invalid frequency. Refer to the list of acceptable frequencies in the Frequency Range Bands below.
Push "MANUAL" to step to channel number two. Enter the frequency. Push "E." Push "MANUAL" to step to channel three. Repeat this process until all the (10) channels are full, or you've run out of frequencies to enter.
Push "SCAN" to start automatically scanning the frequencies. The radio will stop when it hears someone talking, and resume scanning two seconds after the conversation has stopped.
Frequency Range Bands:
20 to 29.7 MHz (10 Meter "Ham" Band) 29.7 to 50 MHz (VHF Low Band) 50 to 54 MHz (6 Meter Amateur Band) 136 to 144 MHz (Military Land Mobile) 144 to 148 MHz (2 Meter "Ham" Band) 406 to 420 MHz (Federal Government Land Mobile) 420 to 450 MHz (70cm "Ham" Band) 450 to 470 MHz (UHF Standard Band) 470 to 512 MHz (UHF "T" Band)" http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Rec/rec.radio.scanner/2006-01/msg00174.html
Hope this helps.

This radio has a 5 watt transmitter, and works on 40 channels in the UHF (477MHz) band. Called a "CB" but is not marketed for use in the U.S. since "CB" here is 40 channels in the HF (27MHz) band. "FRS" in the U.S. is the "new CB", but offers fewer frequencies and all are lower than 477Mhz. Transmitting with this radio in the U.S. (and probably other places, too) will require a license.
