22-Channel GMRS/FRS Two-Way Radio
21-1902
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.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
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

recharge Ni-MH batteries while they
are in the radio using the supplied
dual charger. It takes about 10 hours
