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 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
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the
FCC requires that you stop using the radio.
CARING FOR YOUR RADIO
To enjoy your radio for a long time:
• Handle it gently.
• Keep it away from dust, moisture, and tem-
perature extremes.
• Clean it with a damp cloth. Do not use
harsh chemicals.
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-106 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
communications. The radio’s flip-phone styling
lets you listen to transmissions privately, even in
public places.
You can talk with another person who has an
FRS radio if both radios are tuned to the same
channel. Your radio has 14 channels. (Each
channel is a specific
frequency.)
If someone else is using the channel you select-
ed and you do not want to hear that person, se-
lect another channel or use the quiet feature
(see “Using the Quiet Feature” on Page 6).
Your radio has
auto-squelch, which means you
won’t hear anything on a channel unless some-
one is transmitting nearby on the same channel.
You can turn off auto-squelch to hear weaker,
distant transmissions (see Pages 4–5).
Also, if you do not transmit for over 8 seconds,
the radio automatically switches to a
power
save mode, and
appears on the display.
The radio returns to full power usage when it re-
ceives a transmission or you press any key.
We recommend you record your radio’s seri-
al number here. The number is on the radio’s
back panel.
