FCC INFORMATION
Important: Do not open your radio to make any
internal adjustments. Your radio is set up to
transmit a regulated signal on an assigned fre-
quency. It is against the law to alter or adjust the
settings inside the radio to exceed those limita-
tions. Any adjustments made to your radio must
be made by a qualified technician using the
proper test equipment. To be safe and sure:
• Never open your radio’s case.
• Never change or replace anything in your
radio except the batteries.
Your radio might cause TV or radio interference
even when it is operating properly. To determine
whether your radio is causing the interference,
turn it off. If the interference goes away, your ra-
dio is causing it. Try to eliminate the interfer-
ence by:
• Moving your radio away from the receiver
• Calling your local RadioShack store for
help
Using your FRS-101 as described in this manu-
al exposes you to RF energy well below the
FCC’s recommended limits.
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harm-
ful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
Modifying or tampering with the radio’s internal
components can cause a malfunction and might
invalidate the radio’s warranty and void your
FCC authorization to operate it. If your radio is
not performing as it should, take it to your local
RadioShack store for assistance.
INTRODUCTION
Your RadioShack FRS-101 is a lightweight,
palm-sized radio that you can carry almost any-
where. Use it at shopping 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 set to the same
frequency (462.5625
MHz, FRS Channel 1) as your FRS-101.
Your radio has
auto-squelch, which means you
won’t hear anything on the channel unless some-
one is transmitting nearby on the same channel.
But, you can turn off auto-squelch to hear weak-
er, distant transmissions (see Pages 4–5).
Your radio also has a built-in
modulation limiter
circuit, which automatically adjusts the radio for
a wide variety of voice levels to ensure a clear
transmission.
The supplied hand strap and belt clip let you take
your radio almost anywhere.
We recommend you record your radio’s serial
number here. The number is on the radio’s
back panel.
