Features

Family Radio Service (FRS) is a license-free, two-way, short-range voice radio
service that lets families and groups keep in touch with each other on specific
reserved channels. This walkie talkie is recommended for children ages 6 to 13.

Your RadioShack 14 Channel Personal FRS 2-Way Radio is a lightweight, palm­sized radio you can use to talk with another person who has a FRS radio set to the
same frequency as your radio.

Your radio has auto-squelch, so you will not hear anything on a channel unless
someone is transmitting nearby on the same channel.

Your radio has last channel memory retention. It automatically resumes on the last
channel you monitored when you turn on the radio.

Your radio’s display has a backlight that turns on for about 10 seconds when you
press the Up or Down key.

Your radio’s other features include:

14 Channels – provide clear communications for up to two miles.
Key Beep – generate insect sound when you acknowledge call with key press.
Channel Lock – allows the active channel to be locked for next use.

Installing Batteries

Your radio requires 3 AAA alkaline batteries for power. For the best performance
and longest life, we recommend RadioShack batteries.

Cautions:

§ Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

§ Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (alkaline or

rechargeable).

1. Rotate VOL/OFF counterclockwise until it clicks to turn off the radio.

2. Use a Philips screwdriver to loosen the screws in the battery door, then lift the
door off.

3. Install 3 AAA batteries according to the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked
inside.

4. Replace the cover and then rotate VOL/OFF clockwise until it clicks to turn on
the radio.

5. The battery indicator [ ] on the bottom of the LCD display shows how
much power remain. The battery indicator displayed the battery power in 4
levels:

[ ] Battery full

[ ] Below 70% battery capacity
[ ] Below 30% battery capacity
[ ] (Blinking) Battery depleted

Warning:

Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.

Caution:

If you do not plan to use the radio for a month or longer, remove the batteries. Batteries

can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
