IN-FR10111 GMRS/FRS Radio
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device does not cause harmful interference, and (2) this radio must accept any interference that may cause undesired operation.
To maintain compliance with FCC’s RF exposure guidelines, for body-worn operation, this radio has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with Insignia accessories supplied or designated for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: FCC LICENSE REQUIRED FOR GMRS OPERATION
These 2-way radios operate on GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) frequencies which require an FCC (Federal Communications Commission) license. You must be licensed prior to operating on channels 1-7 or 15-22, which comprise the GMRS channels of the IN-FR10111. Serious penalties could result for unlicensed use of GMRS channels, in violation of FCC rules, as stipulated in the Communications Act’s Sections 501 and 502 (amended).
You will be issued a call sign by the FCC which should be used for station identification when operating the radio on GMRS channels. You should also cooperate by engaging in permissible transmissions only, avoiding channel interference with other GMRS users, and being prudent with the length of your transmission time.
To obtain a license or ask questions about the license application, contact the FCC at 1-886-CALLFCC or go to the FCC’s Web site at www.fcc.gov/wtb/prs/ genmbl.html.
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY
Your radio is designed to comply with the following national and international standards and guidelines regarding exposure of human being to radio frequency electromagnetic energy:
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations: 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical & Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineer (IEEE) C95. 1-1999 Edition
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) of the United States, Report 86, 1986
• International Commission on Non-lonizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the general population or uncontrolled environment exposure limits, transmit no more than 50% of the time. The radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting.

Installing the battery
Your Insignia radio operates with either 4 AA alkaline batteries or a NiMH battery pack (included). The belt clip should be removed (see below) to ease installation or removal of the batteries.
To install the batteries:
1 With the back of the radio facing you, remove the belt clip (see diagram
on next page) for easy access, then remove the battery cover by pressing down on the top center and sliding it down and away from the radio.
2 Insert batteries oriented as shown in the diagram below and in the
diagram in the battery bay. Installing the batteries incorrectly will prevent the radio from operating and may damage the radio.
3 Replace the battery cover by sliding it onto the radio. 4 Replace the belt clip, making sure it locks into place.

Charging the battery pack
Your Insignia radio is equipped for using a rechargeable NiMH battery pack, which can be recharged using the desktop charger. Initial charge time is 24 hours with a charge time of 8-12 hours thereafter. For maximum battery life, we recommend charging the battery pack when the low battery icon turns on. Remove the radios from the charger when the charge time expires.
To charge using a desktop charger:
1 Install the rechargeable battery pack in the radio. 2 Connect the AC adapter into an AC power outlet. 3 Insert the AC adapter plug (or DC cigarette lighter adapter if charging in
vehicle) into the desktop charger jack.
4 Place the radio into the desktop charger slot. The LED indicator turns on,
showing that the battery is charging.
Notes: Use NiMH battery packs provided only by Insignia. Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries or any batteries or battery
packs other than those approved for use in your radio. Unapproved batteries or battery packs may leak and damage your radio.
For long-term storage of the radio, turn the radio off and remove the batteries from the radio.

Operating your radio
Power on/off and volume
Rotate the Power/Volume knob clockwise to turn the radio on and increase the volume level. Rotate the control counter-clockwise to reduce the volume level and to turn the radio off.
During Power On:
• The radio beeps three times with different tones
• The LCD displays a “self-test” message for one second
• The LCD display indicates the last channel selected.
Transmitting and receiving a call
To communicate, all radios in your group must be set to the same channel and Privacy Code.
To transmit a call:
1 For maximum clarity, hold the radio two to three inches from your mouth. 2 Press and hold the PTT button and speak in a normal voice into the
microphone. The TX icon appears continuously on the LCD display while transmitting.
3 To receive a call, release the PTT button. The RX icon appears on the
display when your radio is receiving a transmission.
ABOUT RANGE
Your Insignia radios are designed to give you maximum range under optimum conditions.
Optimum Conditions are:
•Over water
• Open rural areas without obstructions
• Flat areas where you can see the other person
To ensure you get maximum range:
• Be sure to use fresh or fully charged batteries. Low batteries will cause low power conditions.
• Be sure you are on a GMRS channel. FRS channels are restricted by the FCC to low power.
• Be sure to set your radio to use Hi power. The radio is automatically set to Low power to preserve battery life.
