family, friends, and companions almost anywhere. Your radio operates on Family Radio Ser-
vice (FRS) frequencies, requires no service fee or license, and can be used anywhere in the
United States and other areas as listed by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission).
Your radio offers more than just a way of keeping in touch. Your radio has 14 channels and 38
different interference eliminator codes. If someone else is using the channel you selected and
you do not want to hear that person, you can select another channel or use the interference
eliminator feature (see "Using the Privacy Features" on Page 45). You can talk with other De-
luxe FRS radio users whose radios are tuned to the same channel, interference eliminator
code, and Eavesdrop Reducer code as yours.

whose radio is not set to the proper code, providing privacy. You can set the radio to any of
three Eavesdrop Reducer codes.
10 Call Tones — let you know who is calling before you answer a call.
Eight Weather Channels — give you the ability to monitor weather broadcasts and alerts
transmitted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), keeping you up-
