can use to talk with another person who has a FRS radio set to the same frequency as your
radio.
Your radio has auto-squelch, so you will not hear anything on a channel unless someone is
transmitting nearby on the same channel. You can use MON (monitor) key to temporarily turn off
auto-squelch to hear weaker, distant transmissions.
You can connect an optional speaker/microphone and earphone (such as Cat. No. 940-1601) to
the radio (neither supplied, available at your local RadioShack store).

INSTALLING BA1TERIES
Your radio requires 4 AAA alkaline or rechargeable nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd} I nickel-metal hydride
(Ni-MH) batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we
recommend RadioShack batteries.
Cautions:
0 Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
0 Do not mix old and new batteries. different types of batteries (alkaline or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
1. To turn off the radio, rotate VOL/OFF counterclockwise until it clicks.
2. Pull down the latch on the battery compartment cover, then remove the cover.
3. Slide CHARGE ONIOFF inside the battery compartment to OFF (for alkaline batteries) or ON
(for Ni-Cd or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries).
Warning:
Never install non-rechargeable batteries when CHARGE ONIOFF is set to ON. Non—
rechargeable batteries can get hot or explode if you try to recharge them.
4. install 4 AAA batteries according to the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside.
5. Replace the cover and then rotate VOL/OFF clockwise until it clicks to tum on the radio.
6. The battery icon’s segments ( III- )dispiay to show how much power remain.
when all segments flash, replace alkaline batteries or recharge Ni-Cd or Ni-Md batteries.
Warning:
Dispose of old batteries promptly and property. Do not burn or bury them.
Caution:
If you do not plan to use the radio for a month or longer, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak
chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
Recharging NI-Cd or NI-MH Batteries
Wamlng:
Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries. Non—rechargeable batteries can get hot or explode if
you try to recharge them.
If you use rechargeable Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries, you can recharge them in the radio using an
optional AC OR DC adapter (both available at your local Radioshack store).
The radio’s DC jack is for charging Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries and powering the radio.
You can recharge NI-Cd or Ni-MH batteries inside the radio at home or vehicle. using a EV,
BOOmA DC adapter (such as DC adapter - Cat. No. 273-1667 at home or Lighter Socket!
Universal DC Adapter - Cat. No. 273-1801 at vehicle) and a size F Adaptaplugm connector (such
as Cat. No. 2734709) (neither supplied). Both adapters and Adeptaplug are available at your
local RadioShack store.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies regulated 6V DC (Not more than 6V) and
delivers at least GOOmA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the radio’s DC
jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the radio or the
adapter.
0 Always connect the adapter to the radio before you connect it to an extemal power source
(such as an AC outlet or a vehicle cigarette-lighter socket). When you finish, disconnect the
adapter from the power source before you disconnect It from the radio.
Follow these steps to connect an adapter to the radio.
1. Rotate VOtJOFF fully counterclockwise to turn off the radio, then slide off the battery
compartment cover.
2, Set CHARGE ONIOFF to ON.
3. Attach the Adaptaplug to the adapter so TIP reads positive (+).
Connect the adapter‘s barrel plug to the radio's DC jack and plug its other end into a standard
AC outlet or vehicle's power source.
Complete charging takes about 10 hours, When charging is complete, unplug the AC or DC
adapter from the power source, then disconnect it from the radio's DC jack.
Note: Ni~MH batteries take longer to charge then Ni-Cd batteries.

Safety Intomtatlon '
Your wireless handheld portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. When the Push-
To-Talk (PTI') button Is pressed. it sends out radio frequency signals. The device Is authorized to
operate at a duty factor not to exceed fifty percent. In August 1996, the Federal Communications
Commission adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless devices.
cautions:
0 To maintain compliance with the FCC‘s RF exposure guidelines. hold the transmitter and
antenna at least 2 inches (5.0 cm) from your face and speak in a normal voice, with the antenna
pointed up and away from your face. If you wear the handset on your body while using the
headset accessory, use only the supplied belt ctip for this product and when transmitting, take it
out of the belt to ensure the antenna is at least 1 inch (2.5cm) from your body.
0 Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications. or attachments could
damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates. uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception. which can be determined
by tuming the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
D Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
El Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
El Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
needed.
El Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
