INTRODUCTION
Your RadioShack Personal FM
Transceiver IS a lightweight,
palm-sized radio thai you can
carry almosfl anywhere. Use It at
shopping malls, amusement
parks, or sports events to con-
tact iamiiy and friends, or In a
neighborhood watch for viral
communications You can talk
with another person who has an
FRS radio set to the seme fre~
quency as your transceiver. You
can select one frequency from
14 FRS channels.
Your radio has auto—squelch,
which means you won‘t hear
anything on the channel unless
someone is iransmifllng nearby
on the same channel. But, you
can turn off amo—squeich to hear
weaker, distant transmissions
(see Pages 44).
Also. If you do not transmit for
over 8 seconds, the radio auto-
matically switches to a power
save mode and returns to full
power when it receives a trans
mission or you press any key,

INSTALLING 4
BATTERIES
Your radio uses four AAA batter—
ies kx power. We recommend
alkaline batteries (such as Ra-
dIoShack Cat. No. 23658).
You can also use rechargeable
batteries (such as Cat. No. 28-
127) in the radia BeVore you use
nickel—cadmium batteries, you
must charge them (see “Charg-
ing Nickel—Cadmlum Batteries”
on Page 10}
“—
1. Be sure the radio is off,
then slide off the battery
compartment cover in the
direction of the anew on
the cover.
2. if you are installing alka-
line batteries, use a pointed
object such as a pen to set
NIIAL inside the compan-
ment to AL. Or. if you are
installing nickel—cadmium
batteries, set it to Nl ’
Warning: Never set NVAL
to NI if you are installing
nonArechargeable baller-
les. Non-rechargeable bal‘
ten‘es can gel not or
explode if you try to
recharge them.
3. Install the batteries, match-
ing the polarity symbols (+
and —) inside the comoam
menl. Then replace the
cover.

Caution: Do not mix old and
new batteries, diflerent types of
batteries (standard, alkaline, or
rechargeable), or rechargeable
batteries of different capaclties.
The radic’s range decreases as
the battery power decreases To
ensure maximum range, keep
fresh batteries in the radio.
USING THE BELT

CHARGING NICKEL-
CADMIUM
BATTERIES
The transceiver has a built-in
circuit that lets you recharge '
nickel-cadmium batteries while
they are in the transceiver. To
charge the batteries. set NUAL to
Nl. install the nickel-cadmium
batteries in the transceiver, and
connect an external AC adapter.
such as RadioShack Cat. No.
273-1455, to the transceivers
cHGlack.
Warning: Do not connect the
adapter to the transceiver it you
have non-rechargeable batter-
lea (such as alkaline batteries)
installed in the transceiver and
NlIAL is set to NI. Non-recharge-
able batteries will get hot and
can eve explode if you try to re-
charge them
Cautions: The recommended
AC adapter supplies 9 volts and
delivers at least 300 milllamps.
ll has a barrel plug with a center '
negative tip that correctly fits ‘
the transceiver’s cue jack
Using an adapter that does not
meet these specifications could
damage the transceiver or the
adapter.
_——————
__‘_______———
1. Turn VOLUME counter-
clockwise until it slide to
make sure power Is turned
off.
2. Plug the adapter's 6.5 mm
outside diameter/2.1 mm
inside diameter barrel plug
into your (ransoeiver’s
cue jack
3. Plug the other end of the
adapter into a standard AC
outlet.
Betore you use nickel-cadmium
batteries for the first time.
'charge them at least 24 hours
to bring them to a full charge.
Discharged bakeries take about
10 to 18 hours to fully recharge.
Notes:
- Nickel—cadmium baneries
last longer and deliver
' more power it you occa-
sionally let them fully dis-
charge.
- To prevent damaging
nickel-cadmium batteries,
nwer charge them in an
area where the temperafl
ture is above 113°F or
below 40°F.

Important: At the end of a
mehargeable battery’s useful
life, it must be recycled or dis-
posed of properly. Contact your
local, county, or stale hazard-
ous waste management author
files for information on recycling
or disposal programs in your
area. Some options that might
be available are: municipal
curb-side collection. drop-off
boxes at retailers such as your
local RadioShack store, recy-
cling eollsction centers. and»‘
