PREPARATION
Before you use the transceiver, you
must be properly licensed by the FCC. If
you are licensed to use one or both of
the supplied frequencies, you can im-
mediately use the transceiver.
If you are licensed on different frequen-
cies, your local RadioShack store must
send the transceiver to an authorized
service facility to have the frequencies
programmed into the transceiver. You
must tell the store the frequency you are
licensed for and any desired CTCSS
tone (the factory preset is 100.0 Hz).
See “Why Use CTCSS?” on Page 11 for
more information about CTCSS.
