USING THE RADIO
See "Using the Quiet Feature" below.
You can cause a tone to sound on all radios tuned to the same FRS channel
(and quiet code, if one is used) as your radio. Just hold down CALL.
Note: Holding down CALL while turning on the radio resets your radio.
IMPORTANT: The FCC does not allow you to send a continuous tone for more
than 10 seconds at a time on FRS frequencies. Do not hold
down CALL for more than 10 seconds.
To talk, hold down PUSH-TO-TALK until [triangle symbol] appears, then
speak into the microphone. Release PUSH-TO-TALK when you finish. BUSY
appears when you finish. BUSY appears when a call is being received.
To hear everything happening on a channel, including weak transmissions,
hold down MON. Release MON to turn auto-squelch back on.
To lock or unlock the QUIET, CH /\, and CH \/ keys, hold down MON and
press CALL . [key symbol] appears and the QUIET, CH /\, and CH \/ keys do
not operate when keypad lock is on.
To select a channel, press CH /\ or CH \/. Hold down CH
/\ or CH \/ to rapidly change channels. The selected
channel number appears.
The automatic shut off timer automatically turns off the radio if it is
idle for 2 hours. Hold down CH \/ while turning on the radio
to enable or disable the timer. On or OF (off) appears briefly.
Then, if the radio is idle for 2 hours, OF appears steadily. Press any
button to operate the radio again. OF disappears and the last selected
channel appears.
Rotate VOL to turn on your radio and adjust the volume.
Connect an optional speaker/microphone with a 3/32-inch mini plug and a
1/8-inch plug to the MIC/SPK jacks (or an earphone with a 1/8-inch plug
to the SPK jack).
To attach the belt clip, align the screw with the hole in the back of the
radio, then tighten the screw.
USING THE QUIET FEATURE
The quiet feature lets you talk and listen to people who are using other
radios set to the same channel and quiet code. This is like having a
sub-channel within a channel, giving you greater communication
flexibility. When you set a quiet code (there are 38 to choose from) and
turn on this feature, you can communicate with anyone who has a radio set
to the same channel and code.
1. Hold down QUIET for 3 seconds until QUIET appears and the quiet code
flashes.
2. Repeatedly press (or hold down) CH /\ or CH \/ until you see the code
number you want to use.
3. Press QUIET to store the code.
To turn on the quiet feature, press QUIET. QUIET appears. To turn off
the feature, press QUIET until QUIET disappears.
Note: We recommend that you select a quiet code from the range 7-30.
If you select a code below or above that range, you must wait
1 to 2 seconds after holding down PUSH-TO-TALK before you start
talking.

FCC INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: Do not open your radio to make any internal adjustments.
Your radio is set up to transmit a regulated signal on one
of 14 assigned frequencies. It is against the law to alter
or adjust the settings inside the radio to exceed those
limitations. Any adjustments 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
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using the radio.
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.
