Your radios might cause TV or radio interference  
even when they are operating properly. To  
determine whether your radios are causing the  
interference, turn them off. If the interference goes  
away, your radios are causing it. Eliminate the  
interference by:

You can power the radios from a standard  
AC outlet or even your vehicle using a 6V,  
series regulated, 1A AC/DC adapter and a  
size H Adaptaplug™ adapter (neither  
supplied). Both are available at your local  
RadioShack store.  
• Do not open your radio to make any internal  
adjustments. Your radio is set up to transmit a  
regulated signal on an assigned frequency. It is  
against the law to alter or adjust the settings inside  
the radio to exceed those limitations. Any  
adjustments made to your radio must be made by a  
qualified technician using the proper test equipment.  
Never open your radio's case. Never change or  
replace anything in your radio except the batteries.  
You can attach an optional wrist strap or  
pager chain (not supplied, available at  
your local RadioShack store) to the hole  
on the back of the radio.

Each radio requires three AAA batteries  
(not supplied) for power. Batteries are  
available at your local RadioShack store or  
online at www.radioshack.com. You can  
also use Ni-Cd/Ni-MH rechargeable  
batteries in the radio and recharge them  
using an optional 6V, series regulated, 1A  
AC/DC adapter, available at your local  
RadioShack store. It takes 6 hours for Ni-  
CD and 12 hours for Ni-MH batteries to  
charge.

You can set the radio so a confirmation  
tone sounds when you release PTT. The  
tone alerts the person you are talking to  
that you have finished talking. C-TONE  
appears when this setting is activated.  
If your radios are not performing as they should,  
take them to your local RadioShack store for  
assistance. Modifying or tampering with the  
radio's internal components can cause a  
malfunction and might invalidate their warranty  
and void your FCC authorization to operate them.
