Radio Shack FRS Two-Way Radio User Manual

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).
