INTRODUCTION
KENWOOD welcomes you to the Family Radio
Service (FRS). FRS is the new, personal, short
range 2-way radio band for family & lriends to keep
in touch without the need for a license, radio
knowledge. or monthly charges. Your KENWOOD
2-way Family Radio is called a “transceiver”,
meaning “transmitter & receiver’.
You can choose from 14 preset channels (the full
range allowed by the FCC) to communicate with
others, For your convenience, Automatic Squelch
quiets your transceiver when not receiving calls.
For privacy. your transceiver has two useful
features; Tone Squeich keeps your transceiver
quiet except for calls you want to hear, and Privacy
Talk keeps your conversations private. When
using Tone Squeich, you can also check if your
fellow is within a communication range.
Your transceiver provides safety and convenience
almost anywhere. The distance depends on your
location; you'll get maximum distance of up to
approximately two miles in open areas, less in
buildings or vehicles.
Your KENWOOD transceiver is a precision device.
Treat it with care, and you will enjoy years of
\ reliable operation.
