INTRODUCTION
Your RadioShack Personal FM Transceiver is a
lightweight, palm-sized radio that you can carry
almost anywhere. Use it at shopping malls,
amusement parks, or sports events to contact
family and friends, or in a neighborhood watch
for vital communications. You can talk with an-
other person who has any FRS radio set to the
same frequency as your radio. Your transceiver
uses Channel 1 (462.5625) of the FRS frequen-
cies.
Your radio has auto-squelch , which means you
won't hear anything on the channel unless some-
one is transmitting nearby on the same channel.
But, you can turn off auto-squelch to hear weak-
er, distant transmissions (see Pages 4–5).
You can select a quiet code to screen out un-
wanted conversations. If a quiet code is set, your
receiver only picks up transmissions from anoth-
er 21-1809 FRS radio set to the same code (see
Page 6).
We recommend you record your radio's serial
number here. The number is on the radio's
back panel.

FCC INFORMATION
Important: Do not open your radio to make any
internal adjustments. Your radio is set up to
transmit a regulated signal on an assigned fre-
quency. It is against the law to alter or adjust the
settings inside the radio to exceed those limita-
tions. Any adjustments made to your radio must
be made by a qualified technician using the
proper test equipment. To be safe and sure:
• Never open your radio's case.
• Never change or replace anything in your
radio except the batteries.
Your radio might cause TV or radio interference
even when it is operating properly. To determine
whether your radio is causing the interference,
turn it off. If the interference goes away, your ra-
dio is causing it. Try to eliminate the interfer-
ence by:
• Moving your radio away from the receiver
• Calling your local RadioShack store for
help
Using your radio as described in this manual ex-
poses you to RF energy well below the FCC's
recommended limits.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules . Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harm-
ful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
Modifying or tampering with the radio's internal
components can cause a malfunction and might
invalidate the radio's warranty and void your
FCC authorization to operate it. If your radio is
not performing as it should, take it to your local
RadioShack store for assistance.
