USING THE RADIO
Your radio has 14 channels you can use to talk
to others. In order to speak to someone, each
of you must be set to the same channel.
Your FRS400 radio has a channel scan feature
that allows you to easily scan all 14 channels.
When an active channel is detected, the unit
will pause on that channel until the channel is
clear. Then after a 4 second delay, the unit will
continue scanning. Pressing PTT while the
scan is paused on a channel will allow you to
transmit on that channel.
Your FRS400 radio uses 3 AA Alkaline
batteries (not included) for power. We recom-
mend using Duracell Ultra alkaline batteries.
In order to get the most out of your new radio,
read this reference guide completely before
attempting to operate the unit.
