Thank you for purchasing a pair of RadioShack 22-
Channel GMRS/FRS Two-Way Radios. Your
lightweight, palm-sized radios have 22 channels
and 38 different quiet codes, and have auto-
squelch so you will not hear anything on a channel
unless someone is transmitting nearby on that
channel. Your radios transmit and receive on
General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) and Family
Radio Service (FRS) frequencies. See your
Owner’s Manual for licensing information.

Battery Notes

Ô

• Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.
• Do not burn or bury batteries.
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and

recommended type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types

of batteries (standard, alkaline, or
rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of
different capacities.

• If you do not plan to use the radio for a month or

more, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak
chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

You can power each radio with four
AAA Ni-MH batteries (supplied), or
four AAA Ni-Cd batteries (not
supplied), or four AAA alkaline
batteries (not supplied). Batteries are
available at your local RadioShack
store or online at
www.radioshack.com. You can
recharge Ni-MH batteries while they
are in the radio using the supplied
dual charger. It takes about 10 hours
for Ni-MH batteries to charge.

WARNING

o

If you use non-rechargeable batteries, be sure to
set CHARGE ON/OFF to OFF. Non-rechargeable
batteries can get hot and explode if you try to
recharge them.
