INTRODUCTION
RadioShack welcomes you to the
next generation of personal commu-
nication
—
the Family Radio Ser-
vice (FRS). FRS is a new license-
free, two-way, short-range voice ra-
dio service that lets families and
groups keep in touch with each oth-
er on specific reserved channels.
Your RadioShack Personal FM
Transceiver is a lightweight, palm-
sized radio that you can carry al-
most anywhere.
To eliminate interference from other
users on the same channel, select
another channel or use the quiet
feature (see “Using the Quiet Fea-
ture” on Page 6).
With one of the 38
available quiet codes set and the
quiet feature activated, you only
communicate with FRS radios
which are tuned to the same chan-
nel and quiet code as your radio.
Your radio has
auto-squelch
, which
means you won’t hear anything on a
channel unless someone is trans-
mitting nearby on the same chan-
nel. You can use the
MON
(monitor)
key to temporarily turn off auto-
squelch and hear weaker, distant
transmissions.
