American Red Cross FR1000 OWNER’S MANUAL
Your FR1000 Series has a BATTERY LEVEL METER
that shows the battery power level. The greater the number of
bars visible, the stronger the battery level. When the battery level
is low, the
Battery Shell icon will flash in the display
indicating your batteries should be replaced or recharged if using
a rechargeable battery pack.
Your FR1000 Series can use either an Alkaline battery or the
rechargeable NiMH battery pack. Just set the
BATTERY SOURCE
switch to either “Battery” or “Dynamo-Adapter” (for NiMH
battery pack) position.
SETTING THE RADIO TO GMRS/FRS MODE
To set the FR1000 to GMRS/FRS mode, move the BAND switch in
GMRS position. The LCD will show the current GMRS/FRS channel
setting. The GMRS ICON will appear on the display.
POWER ON/OFF AND VOLUME
Turn the BATTERY SOURCE switch and choose between Alkaline
batteries or NiMH Battery Pack to turn the radio on. Rotate the
VOLUME knob clockwise to increase the volume level. Rotate
the control counterclockwise to reduce the volume level. During
Power On, the LCD will display all icons for 1 second and the LCD
display will indicate the last channel/frequency selected.
