OWNER’S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.
Thank you for purchasing the RadioShack 2-
Pack, 14-Channel Full Power FRS Radios.
Use them to talk to your friends in the next
room, next door, and around the
neighborhood. The radios feature "auto-
squelch," which blocks you from hearing
anything on the channel unless someone is
transmitting nearby on the same channel.
The radio automatically switches to power
save mode if not used for six seconds, and
wakes up when it receives a transmission or
when any key is pressed.

Your radio uses three AAA batteries for
power. For the best performance, we
recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
You can also use Ni-Cd/Ni-MH rechargeable
batteries in the radio and recharge them
using an optional 6V, series regulated, 1A
DC-DC adapter, available at your local
RadioShack store (use Adaptaplug H with
tip set to positive).

1. Remove the belt clip by pulling up the
tab and sliding the belt clip upward,
then slide the battery compartment
cover downward.
2. Set CHG ON/OFF to ON if you use
rechargeable batteries or to OFF if you
use non-rechargeable batteries.
3. Install the batteries according to the
polarity symbols (
+
and –) marked
inside.
4. Replace the cover and the belt clip.
When power is low, the radio beeps and
the battery icon flashes. Replace or
recharge the batteries.

You can power the radio from a vehicle’s
12V power source, (such as a cigarette
lighter socket) using an optional 6V, series
regulated, 1A DC-DC adapter. Use an
Adaptaplug
H with the tip set to positive.
Adapters are available at your local
RadioShack store. Connect one end of the
adapter to the
CHG
jack, and the other end
to the vehicle’s cigaretter lighter socket.
