INTRODUCTION

RadioShack welcomes you to the next gen-

eration of personal communication —the

Family Radio Service (FRS). FRS is a new

license-free, two-way, short-range voice ra-

dio service that lets families and groups

keep in touch with each other on specific

reserved channels.

Your RadioShack Two-Way Personal Ra-

dio is a lightweight, palm-sized radio that

you can carry almost anywhere. It has 14

channels and 8 different quiet codes. If

someone else is using the channel you se-

lected, select another channel or use the

quiet feature (see “Using Quiet Codes” on

Page 12). You can talk with a person who

has an FRS radio if both radios are tuned to

the same

channel

and quiet code.

Your radio has

auto-squelch

, which means

you won’t hear anything on a channel un-

less someone is transmitting nearby on the

same channel. You can turn off auto-

squelch to hear weaker, distant transmis-

sions (see “Auto-Squelch” on Page 13).

RadioShack is a registered trademark

used by Tandy Corporation.

We recommend you record your radio’s

serial number here. The number is on the

radio’s back panel.

PREPARATION

INSTALLING BATTERIES

Your radio uses three AA batteries (not

supplied) for power. We recommend alka-

line batteries, such as RadioShack Cat.No.

23-552. You can also use rechargeable

nickel-cadmium batteries (Cat. No. 23-125

or 23-149). Before you usenickel-cadmium

batteries, you must charge them (see

“Charging Nickel-Cadmium Batteries” on

Page 4).

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1. Be sure the radio is off, then pull down

the latch at the bottom of the radio and

remove the battery compartment

cover.

2. Use a pointed object such as a pen to

set CHRG inside the compartment to

OFF (for alkaline batteries) or ON (for

nickel-cadmium batteries).

21-1812.fm Page 3 Thursday, August 5, 1999 3:06 PM

Warning: Never set CHRG to ON if

you use non-rechargeable batteries.

Non-rechargeable batteries can get

hot or explode if you try to recharge

them.

3. Install the batteries as indicated by the

polarity symbols (+ and –) inside the

compartment. Then replace the cover.

Caution: Do not mix old and new bat-

teries or different types of batteries.

The radio’s range decreases as battery

power decreases. For the longest range,

keep fresh batteries installed in the radio.

When flashes, replace (or recharge)

the batteries.

Charging Nickel-Cadmium

Batteries

You can recharge nickel-cadmium batter-

ies while they are in the radio. Set CHRG to

ON, install the nickel-cadmium batteries in

the radio, and connect an external AC or

DC adapter to the radio’s DC 9V jack (see

“Connecting an AC Adapter” on Page 6 or

“Connecting a DC Adapter” on Page 7).

21-1812.fm Page 4 Thursday, August 5, 1999 3:06 PM

Warning: Do not connect either adapter to

the radio if non-rechargeable batteries

(such as alkaline batteries) are installed

and

CHRG is set to ON, or if you are unsure

of the switch’s position. Non-rechargeable

batteries can get hotor explode if you try to

recharge them.

Before using nickel-cadmium batteries for

the first time, charge them for at least 10

hours to bring them to a full charge. Dis-

charged batteries take about 10 to 18 hours

to fully recharge. If you use the radio while

the batteries are charging, charging takes

longer.

Notes:

• Nickel-cadmium batteries last longer

and deliver more power if you occa-

sionally let them fully discharge by

using the radio until flashes.

• To prevent damage to nickel-cadmium

batteries, never charge them in an

area where the temperature is above

113°F (45°C) or below 40°F (4.4°C).

Important: At the end of a rechargeable

battery’s useful life, it must be recycled or

disposed of properly. Contact your local,

county, or state hazardous waste manage-

ment authorities for information on recy-

cling or disposal programs in your area.

Some options that might be available are:

municipal curb-side collection, drop-off

boxes at retailers such as your local Ra-

dioShack store, recycling collection cen-

ters, and mail-back programs.

Connecting an AC Adapter

You can charge the radio from a standard

AC outlet using an optional AC adapter

(such as Cat. No. 273-1665).

Warning: Do not use an AC adapter’s po-

larized plug with an extension cord, recep-

tacle, or other outlet unless the blades can

be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.

Cautions:

• The recommended AC adapter sup-

plies 9 volts and delivers at least 300

milliamps. It has a barrel plug with a

center negative tip that correctly fits

the radio’s DC 9V jack. Using an

adapter that does not meet these

specifications could damage the radio

or the adapter.

• To protect your radio and AC adapter,

always plug the adapter into the radio

before you plug it into the AC outlet,

and always unplug the adapter from

the AC outlet before you unplug it

from the radio.

•MakesureCHRG inside the battery

compartment is set to ON and nickel-

cadmium batteries are installed (see

“Installing Batteries” on Page 3).

1. Plug the adapter’s 3.4 mm outside

diameter/1.3 mm inside diameter bar-

rel plug into your radio’s DC 9V jack.

21-1812.fm Page 6 Thursday, August 5, 1999 3:06 PM

2. Plug the other end of the adapter into

a standard AC outlet. The CHARGE

indicator lights.

Connecting a DC Adapter

You can charge the radio from your vehi-

cle’s cigarette-lighter socket using an op-

tional DC adapter, such as Cat. No. 270-

1560 or 273-1810.

Cautions:

• The recommended DC adapter sup-

plies 9 volts and delivers at least 300

milliamps. It has a barrel plug with a

center negative tip that correctly fits

the radio’s DC 9V jack. Using an

adapter that does not meet these

specifications could damage the radio

or the adapter.

21-1812.fm Page 7 Thursday, August 5, 1999 3:06 PM

• To protect your vehicle’s electrical sys-

tem, always plug the adapter into the

radio before you plug it into your vehi-

cle’s cigarette-lighter socket. Always

unplug the adapter from the vehi-

cle’s cigarette-lighter socket before

you unplug it from the radio.

•MakesureCHRG inside the battery

compartment is set to ON and nickel-

cadmium batteries are installed (see

“Installing Batteries” on Page 3).

1. Set the adapter’s voltage switch to 9V.

2. Connect the 3.4 mm outer diameter/

1.3 mm inner diameter tip to the

adapter cord, matching TIP to –.

3. Plug the adapter’s barrel plug into

your radio’s DC 9V jack.

4. Plug the other end of the adapter into

your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket.

The CHARGE indicator lights.

Note: If the radio does not charge properly,

unplug the adapter from the cigarette-light-

er socket and clean the socket to remove

ashes and debris.

ATTACHING THE BELT

CLIP

Use the supplied

belt clip to take your

radio along when

you are on the go.

Use a coin or screw-

driver to screw the

belt clip to the radio,

then slide the clip

over your belt or

waistband.

CONNECTING AN

OPTIONAL MICROPHONE/

SPEAKER

To use the radio private-

ly, connect an optional

headset with micro-

phone (such as Cat. No.

19-312) or microphone

and earphone communi-

cation headset (such as

Cat. No. 19-316) into the

SP and MIC jacks.

This connection automatically disconnects

the internal speaker and the PTT button.

Or, you can connect a mono earphone

(such as Cat. No. 33-175) into the SP jack

and use the radio’s PTT button as usual.
