FEATURES
Your RadioShack Two-Way Family Radio is a
lightweight, palm-sized radio that you can carry
almost anywhere. Use it at shopping malls,
amusement parks, or sports events to contact
family and friends, or in a neighborhood watch
for vital communications.
Your radio has 14 channels and 38 different qui et codes. If someone else is using the channel
you selected and you do not want to hear that
person, select another channel or use the quiet
feature (see “Using the Quiet Feature” on Page
6). You can talk with other FRS radio users
whose radios are tuned to the same channel
and quiet code as yours.
Your radio has
auto-squelch
, wh ich mean s yo u
will not hear anything on a channel unless
someone is transmitting nearby on the same
channel. You can turn off auto-squelch to hear
weaker, dist ant transmissions (see Pages 4 and
5).
Also, the radio has a channel and quiet code
lock pin in the battery compartment. (See illustration on facing page.) Removing the pin locks
the channel and quiet code settings to avoid accidentally changing the settings.
