FEATU RES
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 triends, or in a neighborhood watch
for vital communications;
Your radio has 14 channels and 38 different qui-
et codes. It someone else is using the channel
you selected and you do not want to hear that
person, select another channel or use the quiet
Ieature (see “Using the Quiet Feature” on Page
8). You can talk with other FFiS radio users
whose radios are tuned to the same channel
and quiet code as yours.
Your radio has siliceous/ch, 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,‘gietant transmissions (see Pages 4 and
5).
Also, the radio has a channel and quiet code
lock pin in the battery compartment (See illus-
tration on tecing page.) Removing the pin locks
the channel and quiet code settings to avoid ac-
cidentally changing the settings.
The supplied hand strap and belt clip let you
take your radio almost anywhere.
We recommend you record your radio’s serial
number here. The number is on the radio's back
panel.
