14 Channel Personal FRS 2-Way Radio
RadioShack welcomes you to the next generation of per-
sonal communication — the Family 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 14 Channel Personal FRS 2-Way Radio
is a lightweight, palm-sized radio that you can carry almost
everywhere and use to talk with another person who has a
FRS radio set to the same frequency as your radio.
Your radio has auto-squelch, which means you will not
hear anything on a channel unless someone is transmit-
ting nearby on the same channel. You can turn off auto-
squelch to hear weaker, distant transmissions.
Your radio has last channel memory retention. It automati-
cally resumes on the last channel you monitored when you
turn on the radio.
You can connect an optional speaker/microphone and
earphone (neither supplied, available at your local Ra-
dioShack store) to the radio.
Your radio’s other features include:
14 Channels — provide clear communications for up to
two miles.
4 User-Selectable Call Signals — lets you select the
alert tone.
Channel Scan — can be used to find other FRS users.

INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your radio requires three AA alkaline or rechargeable bat-
teries for power. For the best performance and longest life,
we recommend RadioShack batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and rec-
ommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of
batteries (alkaline or rechargeable), or rechargeable
batteries of different capacities.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Rotate
VOL/OFF
fully counterclockwise to turn off the
radio, then slide off the battery compartment cover.
2. Slide
CHARGE OFF/ON
inside the battery compart-
ment to
