Thank you for purchasing the RadioShack 2-
Pack, 14-Channel Full Power FRS Radios.
Use them to talk to your friends in the next
room, next door, and around the
neighborhood. The radios feature "auto-
squelch," which blocks you from hearing
anything on the channel unless someone is
transmitting nearby on the same channel.
The radio automatically switches to power
save mode if not used for six seconds, and
wakes up when it receives a transmission or
when any key is pressed.
