NOTES FOR GOOD COMMUNICATIONS
1. Your FRS Radio uses 22 channels that are shared on a “take turns” basis.
This means other groups may be talking on any of the channels. A common
code of ethics/courtesy is to switch to another vacant channel and not to
attempt to talk over someone who is already using the channel you first
selected.
2. Your FRS Radios have been designed to maximize performance and improve
transmission range in the field. To avoid interference, it is recommended that
you do not use the units closer than 5 feet apart.
3. For best transmission results, always keep your mouth about 2-3 inches from
the Microphone (# 8) and speak slowly and clearly in a normal voice.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Clean your unit with a damp (never wet) cloth. Solvent or detergent should
never be used.
2. Avoid leaving your unit in direct sunlight or in hot, humid or dusty places.
3. Keep your unit away from heating appliances and sources of electrical noise
such as fluorescent lamps or motors.
