Deluxe 2-Way Personal FRS Radio
Your RadioShack Deluxe 2-Way Personal FRS Radio is a light-
weight, palm-sized radio that you can carry almost anywhere and
use to talk with another person who has a FRS radio set to the same
frequency.
The Family Radio Service (FRS) is a license-free, two-way, short-
range voice radio service that lets families and groups keep in touch
with each other on specific reserved channels.
Your radio has auto-squelch, which means you hear nothing on a
channel unless someone is transmitting nearby on the same chan-
nel. You can turn off auto-squelch to hear weaker, distant transmis-
sions.
You can connect an optional speaker/microphone and earphone to
the radio (neither supplied, available at your local RadioShack
store).
Your radio’s display has a backlight that turns on for about 7 sec-
onds when you press any keys except
LOCK/PTT
and
CALL
. To turn
on the backlight without changing the radio’s setting (except in Dual
Watch mode), press
MON
/

.
FCC INFORMATION
Important: Do not open your radio to make any internal adjust-
ments. Your radio is set up to transmit a regulated signal on one of
14 assigned frequencies. It is against the law to alter or adjust the
settings inside the radio to exceed those limitations. Any adjust-
ments to your radio must be made by a qualified technician using
the proper test equipment.
To be safe and sure:
• Never open your radio’s case.
• Never change or replace anything in your radio except the bat-
teries.
Your radio might cause TV or radio interference even when it is op-
erating properly. To determine whether your radio is causing the in-
terference, turn it off. If the interference goes away, your radio is
causing it. Try to eliminate the interference by:
• moving your radio away from the receiver
• calling your local RadioShack store for help
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you
stop using the radio.
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any in-
terference received, including interference that may cause undes-
ired operation.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Your radio contains a low power transmitter. When the Push-to-Talk
button is pushed it sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. The de-
vice is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50%. In
August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held
wireless devices.
Cautions:
• To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines,
hold the transmitter and antenna at least 2 inches (5 cm) away
from your face, and speak in a normal voice. Point the antenna
up and away from your face.
• If you wear the handset on your body while using the headset
accessory, use only the supplied belt clip for this product and
when transmitting, take it out of the belt to ensure that the
antenna is at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from your body.
• Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifi-
cations, or attachments could damage the transmitter and may
violate FCC regulations.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your radio requires 4 AA alkaline or rechargeable nickel-cadmium
(Ni-Cd) batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance
and longest life, we recommend RadioShack batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries
(alkaline or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
1. Rotate
OFF/VOL
counterclockwise until it clicks to turn off the
radio.
2. Pull down the latch on the battery compartment cover, then
remove the cover.
3. Slide
CHARGE ON/OFF
inside the battery compartment to
OFF
(for alkaline batteries) or
ON
(for rechargeable batteries).
4. Install 4 AA batteries according to the polarity symbols (
+
and –)
marked inside.
5. Replace the cover, then push the latch up until it clicks.
6. When
(low battery icon) appears, replace the batteries.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not
burn or bury them.
