Check www.mods.dk. Lots of downloadable manuals. Small fee to join.

check your radios settings, this should be available in a menu on the radio... the user manual does not show a setting for non vox operation of the head set, (as this maybe a version difference it may be available in the menu) so if it is not available in the menu with the rest of the settings it is not an option.

Here are a few things to try: 1) Trade battery packs with a known good radio and see if the problem is solved. If so, you have a bad or poorly charged battery. 2) Take your radio back to a very basic programming with all special features turned off (or set to zero), and the interference eliminator code turned off (zero). See if the units will work together. If not, one radio is bad or defective. If less than a year old, you should use the toll-free number for Motorola/Giant Intl provided in your user guide to contatct them and likely get a replacement radio. Best regards.

Program your existing walkie talkie to a common frequency with no PL code turned on and listen for activity. If you are using a TalkAbout or other FRS radio you should hear activity on one or more channels if you are in a city. Best regards.

You can find a copy of the user guide at shop.giantintl.com/Manuals.asp Check both your batteries and your programming. Be certain both radios are set to the same freq. and code.

Looked and we do not have a manual for the SU42. This radio is not programmable and is not narrowband capable. It was produced with two channels: Ch1 454.500 (Brown Dot) and Ch2 464.550 (Yellow Dot). It also has 32 possible PL codes. You can see the current PL code by depressing the PL button for 1 second after turning on the radio. Best regards.

Looked through our saved manuals and did not find one for the SU42. However, here is what we know about this model: It was factory programmed with two channels: Ch1 is 464.500 (Brown Dot) and Ch2 is 464.550 (Yellow Dot), both on 25k channel spacing. (This radio is not narrowband capable.) The radio also has 32 programmable PL Codes. You can see your PL Code by pressing down the PL button for 1 second. The code number will be displayed on the screen. Using a standard PL code charge you should be able to determine your code. Best regards.
