FCC INFORMATION

Important:  Do not open your radio to make any internal adjustments.  Your
            radio is set up to transmit a regulated signal on an assigned
            frequency.  It is against the law to alter or adjust the 
            settings inside the radio to exceed those limitations.  Any
            adjustments made to your radio must be made by a qualified
            technician using the proper test equipment.  To be safe and
            sure:

     Never open your radio's case.

     Never change or replace anything in your radio except the batteries.

Your radio might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating
properly.  To determine whether your radio is causing the interference,
turn it off.  If the interference goes away, your radio is causing it.
Try to eliminate the interference by:

     Moving your radio away from the receiver

     Calling your local RadioShack store for help

Using your FRS-101 as described exposes you to RF energy well below the
FCC's recommended limits.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  Operation is subject
to the following two conditions:  (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Modifying or tampering with the radio's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate the radio's warranty and void your FCC
authorization to operate it.  If your radio is not performing as it
should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
