T6400 radio is a durable two-

way radio that allows you to stay connected to family,
friends, and companions. The T6400 operates on Family
Radio Service (FRS) frequencies and

General Mobile

Radio Service

(GMRS) frequencies; FRS requires no

service fee or license, and can be used anywhere in the
United States and other areas as listed by the FCC, but
GMRS are subject to FCC licensing requirements.
These radios offer more than just a way of keeping in
touch. They also help you and your group stay on
schedule because a clock, alarm, and stopwatch are built
into each model.

A detachable Quick Reference Card is included.

Please read this manual to aid in understanding how your radio works.
