Installing Batteries

•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.

•If you do not plan to use the radio for a month or longer, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

Recharging Ni-Cd or Ni-MH Batteries

•You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies regulated 6V DC (Not more than 6V) and delivers at least 600mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the radio’s DC 6V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the radio or the adapter.

•Always connect the adapter to the radio before you connect it to an external power source (such as an AC outlet or a vehicle cigarette- lighter socket). When you finish, disconnect the adapter from the power source before you disconnect it from the radio.

•Never install non-rechargeable batteries when CHARGE ON/OFF is set to ON. Non- rechargeable batteries can get hot or explode if you try to recharge them.

•Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.

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 while providing clear communication for up to two miles.

Your RadioShack 14 Channel Personal FRS 2-Way Radio is a lightweight, palm-sized radio you can use to talk with another person who has an FRS radio set to the same frequency as your radio.

Your radio has auto-squelch, so you will not hear anything on a channel unless someone is transmitting nearby on the same channel. You can use MON (monitor) to temporarily turn off auto-squelch to hear weaker, distant transmissions.

You can connect an optional speaker/ microphone and earphone to the radio (neither supplied, available at your local RadioShack store and online at RadioShack.com).

Your radio requires four AAA alkaline or rechargeable nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) / nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack batteries..

1.Rotate VOL/OFF 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 Ni-Cd or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries).

4.Install four AAA batteries according to the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

5.Replace the cover and push the latch up until it clicks, then rotate VOL/OFF clockwise until it clicks to turn on the radio.

The battery icon segments on the display show how much power remains. When È flashes, replace the alkaline batteries or recharge the Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries.

Vibration Alert – vibrates

for 2 seconds when receiving a signal if the radio has been idle for more than 30 seconds.

Voice Operated

Transmission (VOX) –

enables standalone usage and works with a handsfree accessory.

Channel Scan – use

to find other FRS users.

38 Quiet Code –

eliminates interference from other radios that are not tuned to the same channel and quiet code as your radio.

Call Function — sends

a page to other FRS radios set to the same channel.

The radio’s DC 6V jack is for charging Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries and powering the radio.ý You can recharge Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries inside the radio, using a 6V, 600mA AC or DC adapter and a size F AdaptaplugTM connector (neither supplied, both available at RadioShack)..

1.Rotate VOL/OFF fully counterclockwise to turn off the radio.

2.Pull down the latch on the battery compartment cover and remove the cover.

3.Set CHARGE ON/OFF to ON.R

4.Place four Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries in the compartment according to the polarity symbols (+ and – ) marked inside. Then replace the cover and push the latch up until it clicks.

5.Attach the Adaptaplug to the adapter so TIP reads positive (+).

6.Connect the Adaptaplug’s other end to the radio’s DC 6V jack and plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet or a vehicle’s power source.
