INTRODUCTION
RadioShack welcomes you to the next gener- ation of personal communication — the Fam- ily Radio Service (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 other on specific reserved channels.
Your RadioShack Sports FRS 2-Way Radio is a lightweight, palm-sized radio that you can carry almost anywhere and use to talk with another person who has an FRS radio set to the same frequency as your radio. Your ra- dio’s quiet code feature is like having a sub- channel within a channel, giving you greater communication flexibility.
Your radio has 14 channels and 19 different quiet 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 Quiet Codes” on Page 9). 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 un- less someone is transmitting nearby on the same channel. You can turn off auto-squelch to hear weaker, distant transmissions (see “Auto-Squelch” on Page 11).
