PREPARATION
Before you use the transceiver, you must be properly licensed by the FCC. If you are licensed to use one or both of the supplied frequencies, you can im- mediately use the transceiver.
If you are licensed on different frequen- cies, your local RadioShack store must send the transceiver to an authorized service facility to have the frequencies programmed into the transceiver. You must tell the store the frequency you are licensed for and any desired CTCSS tone (the factory preset is 100.0 Hz). See “Why Use CTCSS?” on Page 11 for more information about CTCSS.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
You must charge the battery pack with the supplied battery charger before you use it the first time, and whenever the battery becomes low.
You can charge the battery pack with it attached to the transceiver or removed.
