Thank you for purchasing the
RadioShack 22 Ch GMRS/FRS Two-
way Radio. It provides short-range
voice radio communication to let
families and groups keep in touch with
each other on specific reserved
channels.

The radio is a lightweight, palm-sized
radio you can use to talk with another
person in the communication range (up
to 5 miles) who has a GMRS/FRS radio
set to the same frequency as yours.

Your radio has 22 channels and 38
different quiet codes, which you can
use to talk with another person who has
a GMRS or FRS radio set to the same
frequency as your radio. Your radio
also has auto-squelch, so you will not
hear anything on a channel unless
someone is transmitting nearby on the
same channel.

You can connect an optional speaker/
microphone and earphone to the radio
(neither supplied, available at your local
RadioShack store).

Your radio’s display has a backlight that
turns on for about 5 seconds when you
press any key except

PTT
