FRS RADIO

21-1860

INTRODUCTION

Your RadioShack FRS radio is a portable, easy-to-use, two-way radio that you can carry almost

anywhere. Use it at shopping malls, amusement parks, sports events, or at the beach to contact

family and friends, or for vital communications in a neighborhood watch.

Your radio has 14 channels and 38 different quiet 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. You can talk with a person who has a FRS radio if both radios are tuned to the same

channel and quiet code.

Your radio also has one touch access key for 3 pre-programmed or user preferable FRS channel.

The radio can auto dual watch between the operation channel and user preset channel.

Your radio has auto-squelch, which means you 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, distant transmissions.

Also, if the radio is idle for 2 hours, it automatically shuts off. It turns on again when you press

any key.

You can connect an optional speaker/microphone and earphone, charger (not supplied) to the

radio. And, the belt clip lets you take your radio almost anywhere.
