INTRODUCTION
RadioShack welcomes you to the next gen- eration of personal communication — the Family 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 Two-Way Personal Ra- dio is a lightweight, palm-sized radio that you can carry almost anywhere. It has 14 channels and 8 different quiet codes. If someone else is using the channel you se- lected, select another channel or use the quiet feature (see “Using Quiet Codes” on Page 12). You can talk with a person who has an FRS radio if both radios are tuned to the same channel and quiet code.
Your radio has auto-squelch, which means you won’t 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 transmis- sions (see “Auto-Squelch” on Page 13).
We recommend you record your radio’s serial number here. The number is on the radio’s back panel.
