RadioShack welcomes you to the next
generation of personal communica-
tions
—
the Family Radio Service
(FRS). FRS is a new two-way, short-
range, voice radio service that lets fam-
ilies and groups keep in touch on spe-
cific reserved channels. And, you don’t
need a license to use an FRS radio.
Your RadioShack FRS-108 is a light-
weight, palm-sized radio that you can
carry almost anywhere. Use it at shop-
ping malls, amusement parks, or sports
events to contact family and friends, or
in a neighborhood watch for vital com-
munications.
You can talk with another person who
has an FRS radio if both radios are
tuned to the same
channel. Each
channel is a specific
frequency. If
someone else is using the channel you
selected and you do not want to hear
that person, you can select another
channel. Your radio has 14 channels.
WELCOME TO FRS
PUTTING BATTERIES IN YOUR RADIO
Your radio uses three AA batteries (not
supplied) for power. We recommend
alkaline batteries, such as Cat. No. 23-
552.
Caution: Do not mix old and new bat-
teries or different types of batteries.
Note: Rechargeable batteries do not
provide as much battery life as alkaline
batteries. We do not recommend using
rechargeable batteries in this radio.
Be sure the radio is off, then press
down the tab on the battery compart-
ment cover and lift the cover. Install the
batteries as shown, then replace the
cover.
