OWNER’S MANUAL
FRS RADIO
21-1845
INTRODUCTION
With RadioShack’s base station FRS radio, you can stay in constant communication with your
family throughout your home. In addition, they’re great for office use as well.
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 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.
You can connect an optional speaker/microphone and earphone to the radio. The VOX
operation brings you convenient hands-free use.
Your transceiver has these features:
Selective Channel and QUIET ---- You can select the channel from one of the 14 FRS
channels and one of the 38 QUIET by using two arrays of dip switches.
PLL Controlled Circuitry ---- provides accurate and stable channel selection.
QUIET (Continuous Tone Control Squelch System) ---- helps reduce interference from
other systems in the area operating on the same frequency.
Built-in Modulation Limiter Circuit ---- automatically adjusts for a wide variety of voice
levels to ensure an understandable transmission.
External Earphone and Microphone ---- Let you transmit or receive message by pressing or
releasing Push-To-Talk button on the headset or use VOX option for hands-free operation.
Fixed Telescopic Antenna ---- Let you have a better performance of communication.
We recommend you record your transceiver’s serial number here. This number is on the
transceiver’s back panel.
Serial Number_______________________
Your transceiver might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To
determine whether your transceiver is causing the interference, turn off your transceiver. If
the interference goes away, your transceiver is causing it. Try to eliminate the interference by:
•
Moving your transceiver away from the receiver.
•
Contacting your local RadioShack store for help.
FUNCTION AND LOCATION OF THE CONTROLS
1. Volume Control.
Rotate this control rightwards to turn on your radio and adjusts the volume, until you get a
comfortable listening level.
2. CALL
You can cause a ringer sound on all radios tuned to the same FRS channel and/or the privacy
code as your radio. To send a page, press and hold down the CALL button.
3. Talk button
To talk, hold down the Talk. Speak into the microphone in a normal tone of voice when the
TX indicator lights. When you finish speaking, release the Talk button.
4. VOX Button
To active/deactivate VOX function, press and release the VOX button. When VOX on led
indicator lights, it indicates the VOX function is activated. When VOX function is activated,
the unit transmitter will automatically be opened when the user speaks. It will continue to
transmit until the user finishes. Then, the unit will go into the receive mode.
5. VOX Sensitivity
Rotary this control to adjusts the VOX sensitivity. When there is too much background noise,
it is better to turn this control leftwards to select Lo sensitivity.
6. Transmit LED Indicator
It will light when you transmit.
7. Power LED Indicator
It will light when the unit is turned on.
8. VOX LED Indicator
When VOX on led indicator lights, it indicates the VOX function is activated.
9. MON Button
To hear everything happening on a channel, including weak transmission, hold down MON
button. Release the MON button to turn the auto-squelch back on.
10. External Mic/Spk Jack
Connect an optional speaker/microphone or earphone in this jack.
11. Power Jack
Just plug the station into the DC outlet of included DC adapter, then connect the adapter to a
standard AC outlet.
12. Fixed Telescopic Antenna
Adjust antenna will let you have a better performance of communication.
13. Two arrays of dip switches (at the bottom)
Let you select one channel from 14 FRS channels and one of 38 QUIET frequencies by using
these two arrays of dip switches.
SETTING CHANNEL FREQUENCIES AND CTCSS CODES
On the station bottom, you will find two arrays of dip switch. These switches are
used to set the channel frequency, and CTCSS code.
Setting for 38 CTCSS Code
The first array of 6-digit dip-switch is used to set 38 CTCSS codes. Please find
below table for setting.
