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).
