INTRODUCTION

RadioShack welcomes you to the next generation of personal commu- nication — the Family Radio Ser- vice (FRS). FRS is a new license- free, two-way, short-range voice ra- dio service that lets families and groups keep in touch with each oth- er on specific reserved channels.

Your RadioShack Personal Two- Way Radio is a lightweight, palm- sized radio that you can carry al- most anywhere and use to talk with another person who has an FRS ra- dio set to the same frequency as your radio (462.5625 MHz, FRS Channel 1, or 467.5625 MHz, FRS Channel 8).

Your radio has auto-squelch, which means you will not hear anything on a channel unless someone is trans- mitting nearby on the same chan- nel. You can use the MON (monitor) key to temporarily turn off auto- squelch and hear weaker, distant transmissions.

The built-in modulation limiter circuit automatically adjusts the radio for a wide variety of voice levels to en- sure a clear transmission.
