The 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.
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 the MON (monitor) key to
temporarily turn off auto-squelch to hear
weaker, distant transmissions.

You can attach an optional wrist strap (not

small loop under the bar on the top of the
radio. You might need to use a small screw-
driver or straightened paper clip to do this.
Then pull the strap’s large loop through the

a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is needed.
• Consult your local RadioShack store or
an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the
FCC requires that you stop using your radio.
Keep the radio dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry
immediately. Use and store the radio only in
normal temperature environments. Handle
the radio carefully; do not drop it. Keep the
radio away from dust and dirt, and wipe it
with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new.
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by RadioShack may cause
interference and void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.

To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF
exposure guidelines, hold the transmitter
and antenna at least 2 inches (5 cm) from
your face and speak in a normal voice, with
the antenna pointed up and away from your
face. If you wear the handset on your body
while using the headset accessory, use only
the supplied belt clip for this product and
when transmitting, take it out of the belt to
ensure the antenna is at least 1 inch (2.5
cm) from your body.
You must use shielded interface cables with
this equipment.

If your radio is not performing as it should,
take it to your local RadioShack store for
assistance. Modifying or tampering with the
radio’s internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate its warranty
and void your FCC authorization to operate it.
Do not open your radio to make any internal
adjustments. Your radio is set up to transmit
a regulated signal on one of 14 assigned
frequencies. It is illegal to alter or adjust the
settings inside the radio to exceed those
limitations. Any adjustments to your radio
must be made by a qualified technician
using the proper test equipment. .

Use only the supplied antenna. Unauth-
orized antennas, modifications, or attach-
ments could damage the transmitter and
may violate FCC regulations.
