FEATURES

Your RadioShack Two-Way Family Radio is a lightweight, palm-sized radio that you can carry almost anywhere. Use it at shopping malls, amusement parks, or sports events to contact family and friends, or in a neighborhood watch for vital communications.

Your radio has 14 channels and 38 different qui- et codes. If someone else is using the channel you selected and you do not want to hear that person, select another channel or use the quiet feature (see “Using the Quiet Feature” on Page 6). You can talk with other FRS radio users whose radios are tuned to the same channel and quiet code as yours.

Your radio has auto-squelch, which means you will not hear anything on a channel unless someone is transmitting nearby on the same channel. You can turn off auto-squelch to hear weaker, distant transmissions (see Pages 4 and 5).

Also, the radio has a channel and quiet code lock pin in the battery compartment. (See illus- tration on facing page.) Removing the pin locks the channel and quiet code settings to avoid ac- cidentally changing the settings.

The supplied hand strap and belt clip let you carry your radio almost anywhere.

We recommend you record your radio’s serial number here. The number is on the radio’s back panel.

FCC INFORMATION

Important: Do not open your radio to make any inter- nal adjustments. Your radio is set up to transmit a reg- ulated signal on an assigned frequency. It is against the law to alter or adjust the settings inside the radio to exceed those limitations. Any adjustments 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 batteries.

Your radio might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To determine whether your radio is causing the interference, 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 re- quires 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 interference re- ceived, including interference that may cause undes- ired operation.

CARING FOR YOUR RADIO

To enjoy your radio for a long time:

•Handle it gently.

•Keep it away from dust, moisture, and tempera- ture extremes.

•Clean it with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals.

Modifying or tampering with the radio’s internal com- ponents can cause a malfunction and might invalidate the radio’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your radio is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for as- sistance.
