Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 22 ChGMRS/FRS Two-way Radio. It provides short-range voice radio communication to let familiesand groups keep in touch with each other onspecific reserved channels.

The radio is a lightweight, palm-sized radio youcan use to talk with another person in thecommunication range (up to 2 miles using an FRSfrequency and up to 7 miles using a GMRSfrequency) who has a GMRS/FRS radio set to thesame frequency as yours.

Your radio has 22 channels and 38 different quietcodes, which you can use to talk with anotherperson who has a GMRS or FRS radio set to thesame frequency as your radio. Your radio also hasauto-squelch, so you will not hear anything on achannel unless someone is transmitting nearby onthe same channel.

You can connect an optional speaker/microphoneand earphone to the radio (neither supplied butavailable at your local RadioShack store).

Your radio’s display has a backlight that turns onfor about 5 seconds when you press any keyexcept PTT.

Your radio’s other features include:

• Channel Scan — use to find other GMRS/FRS users.

• Key Beep — each time you press a key,except PTT or FUNC, the radio beeps once.

• Vibrate — vibrates for 2 seconds whenreceiving a signal if the radio has been idle formore than 30 seconds.

• Voice Operated Transmission (VOX) —enables standalone usage and works with ahandsfree accessory.

• Automatic Power Off — the radioautomatically turns off when the radio is idlefor 30, 60 or 90 minutes.

• Hi/Lo Power Selection — select the transmitpower 0.5W or 2W for a GMRS channel.

• Courtesy Tone — at the end of transmission,the radio (receiver side) sounds a tone toconfirm the end of transmission.

5

• Direct Call — in the transmitter you canselect the receiver radio to receive a call. Inthe receiver, the radio will receive the call thatis addressed to the radio and display thetransmitter ID number on the display.

• Panic — if you have an emergency situation,press PANIC and the radio generates analarm.

• Phase-Lock Loop (PLL) ControlledCircuitry — provides accurate and stablechannel selection.
