(210-1809)                 Operation                  Faxback Doc. # 46907

USING THE RADIO

   Indicator Light - Lights red when you transmit a message or press CALL,
                     and lights green when you receive a transmission.

        PTT Button - To talk, hold down PTT (push to talk) and wait about
                     1 second, then speak into the microphone.  When you
                     finish speaking, release PTT.

       Call Button - You can cause a paging tone to sound on all radios
                     tuned to the same frequency.  To send a page, press
                     CALL.

                     IMPORTANT:  The FCC does not allow you to send a
                                 continuous tone for more than 10 seconds
                                 at a time on FRS frequencies.  Therefore,
                                 do not hold down CALL for more than 10
                                 seconds.

    MONitor Button - You normally don't hear anything on a channel unless
                     someone is transmitting nearby on the same channel
                     (this is called auto-squelch).  To hear everything
                     happening on a channel, including weak transmissions,
                     hold down MON (monitor).  Release MON to turn
                     auto-squelch back on.

      MIC/SP Jacks - Connect an optional headset with microphone (such as
                     Cat. No. 190-0312) or microphone and earphone
                     communication headset (such as Cat. No. 190-0316)
                     into the MIC and SP jacks, or a mono earphone (such
                     as Cat. No. 330-0175) into the SP jack.  This
                     automatically disconnects the internal speaker and
                     PTT.

       On/Off Knob - Rotate to turn the radio on and off and adjust the
                     volume.

Note:  The automatic power save feature automatically extends battery life
       by reducing the power the radio uses until it receives a signal or
       you press a key.  Because the receiving radio might be in power
       save mode, wait about 1 second after pressing PTT to give the other
       radio time to come to full power before speaking into the
       microphone.

USING QUIET CODES

This transceiver uses quiet codes to screen out unwanted conversations,
even if someone is transmitting nearby on the same channel.  When the
quiet code is set, the transceiver sends the code every time PTT or CALL
is pressed and only responds to signals that have the same code.  Other
210-1809 transceivers you plan to use together must be set to the same
code.

To set the transceiver to one of the three codes:

1.  Turn off the radio (if it is on), then open the battery compartment
    cover and take out the batteries.

2.  Slide SW1 and SW2 to set the code - both to 1, or one to 1 and one
    to 0.

Important:  To turn off the quiet code feature, set both switches to 0.

ATTACHING THE BELT CLIP

You can use the supplied belt clip to make your radio easier to use when
you are on the go.  Use a coin or screwdriver to screw the belt clip to
the radio.  Then slide the belt clip over your belt or waistband.

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 radio as described in this manual 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.
