Features Family Radio Service (FRS) is a license-free, two-way, short-range voice radio service that lets families and groups keep in touch with each other on specific reserved channels. This walkie talkie is recommended for children ages 6 to 13. Your RadioShack 14 Channel Personal FRS 2-Way Radio is a lightweight, palmsized radio you can use to talk with another person who has a FRS radio set to the same frequency as your radio.
Installing Batteries Your radio requires 3 AAA alkaline batteries for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack batteries. Cautions: § Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. § Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (alkaline or rechargeable). 1. Rotate VOL/OFF counterclockwise until it clicks to turn off the radio. 2. Use a Philips screwdriver to loosen the screws in the battery door, then lift the door off. 3.
To Communicate 1. Rotate VOL/OFF to turn the radio on and off and adjust the volume. When the radio is on, Battery Level indicator will show the state of the batteries. Note: If you do not press any button on the radio or the radio receives no signal after 10 seconds, a built-in energy saving system switches on automatically to reduce power consumption and lengthen standby time. 2. Slide switch up, the Bug’s wing will be opened automatically. 3.
