When do you get Schneider's Codec frequency?

Question

So, I was re-playing Metal Gear on the PS2 (which is the MSX version, not the NES version), and Big Boss mentioned calling Schneider to get the location of the gas mask.

However, Schneider has not contacted me at this point... given that this game originally came out in 1987, how am I supposed to get his frequency without resorting to looking it up on the Internet?

Additionally, the game's script implies that he will call you and give you his frequency, but it hasn't happened in any of the rooms I could access using Card 1.

Answer

You're supposed to get a call from him on the third floor of building 1, (supposedly it happens in a random room) but it doesn't always happen. I've seen people say this is a bug, but it's hard to say.

Sometimes he doesn't call you until you've already tried dialing his codec frequency, which has lead some to believe that you're supposed to get his frequency from the (original) game manual. There's certainly some precedent for this; in other games certain characters' frequency information was hidden on the CD/DVD case or in the manual.
