Features
Your RadioShack BTX-127 CTCSS •
VHF/FM Business Band Transceiver is a
portable, two-way business radio service
transceiver that you can carry almost
anywhere. The transceiver is compact
and light, making it an ideal choice for
your business needs.
Your transceiver has these features:
Programmable Frequencies — an au-
thorized service facility can program the
transceiver to any VHF business band
frequency you have a license to use —
no crystals to buy!
Note: Your local RadioShack store must
send the transceiver to an authorized
service facility to program the transceiv-
er with a frequency. You must show your
license to store personnel.
38-Tone CTCSS (Continuous Tone Con-
trol Squelch System) — helps reduce in-
terference from other transceivers which
are operating on the same frequency, in
the same area.
Rechargeable Long-Life Battery Pack
and Battery Charger — the supplied bat-
tery charger lets you conveniently re-
charge your transceiver’s long-life
battery pack while it is on the transceiv-
er.
PLL-Controlled Circuitry — provides ac-
curate and stable channel selection.
High/Low Power Switch — lets you in-
crease the transmitted signal strength
to increase the transceiver’s range, or
decrease it to save battery power.
Earphone/Speaker Jack and External
Microphone Jack — let you connect
an external earphone or speaker and
an external microphone to help ensure
understandable communications in
noisy areas.
Built-In Modulation Limiter Circuit —
automatically adjusts for a wide variety
of voice levels to ensure an under-
standable transmission.
Battery Low Indicator — shows the
battery pack’s condition.

• As licensee, you are responsible for
proper operation of all transceivers
operating under your license author-
ity.
• You can let unlicensed persons
operate this transmitter, as long as
you take precautions to prevent
unauthorized transmissions.
• You must use this transceiver only
for the commercial use of your busi-
ness, and only when other commer-
cial channels (such as the
telephone) are either not available
or not practical.
• You must always yield the operating
frequency to communications that
involve the safety of life or property.
• You must take reasonable precau-
tions to prevent harmful interference
to other services operating on the
same frequency.
• You must not transmit program
material of any kind used in connec-
tion with commercial broadcasting.
• You must not provide a service
that is normally handled by tele-
phone or telegraph unless such
broadcasts involve the safety of
life or property or in emergencies
such as an earthquake, hurricane,
flood or a similar disaster where
normal communication channels
are disrupted.
• During each transmission or
exchange of transmissions, you
must identify your station with the
call sign issued to you by the
FCC, or once each 15 minutes
during periods of continuous
operation.
• You must keep a written record of
any maintenance or modification
made to the transceiver, and you
must make this record available

Your transceiver might cause TV or radio
interference even when it is operating
properly. To determine whether your
transceiver is causing the interference,
turn off your transceiver. If the interfer-
ence goes away, your transceiver is
causing it. Try to eliminate the interfer-
ence by:
• moving your transceiver away from
the receiver
• contacting your local RadioShack
store for help
If you cannot eliminate the interference,
the FCC requires that you stop using
your transceiver.
Additional FCC Regulations
The Business Radio Service is under the
jurisdiction of the Federal Communica-
tions Commission (FCC). Any adjust-
ments or alterations that would alter the
performance of the transceiver so it no
longer meets the original FCC type ac-
ceptance or would change the frequen-
cy-determining method are strictly
prohibited.
Replacement or substitution of crystals,
transistors, ICS, regulator diodes, or any
other component that is of a unique na-
ture with components other than those
recommended can violate the technical
regulations of the FCC rules or violate
type acceptance requirement of the
rules.
Before you operate the transceiver,
you must obtain your license. It is ille-
gal to transmit without the appropriate
license, which you can get by submit-
ting a completed FCC Form 600 to the
FCC (or through the PCIA). Further-
more, you are required to understand
Part 90 of the FCC Rules and Regula-
tions prior to operating your transceiv-
er. It is the user’s responsibility to see
that this unit is operating at all times in
accordance with the FCC Rules and
Regulations.

Notes:
• A nickel-cadmium battery pack lasts
longer and delivers more power if
you occasionally let it fully dis-
charge. To do this, use the trans-
ceiver until the RX/TX indicator
lights yellow when you press PUSH
TO TALK.
• To prevent damaging a nickel-cad-
mium battery pack, never charge it
in an area where the temperature is
above 113°F (45°C) or below 32°F
(0°C).
Important: At the end of a rechargeable
battery pack’s useful life, it must be recy-
cled or disposed of properly. Contact
your local, county, or state hazardous
waste management authorities for infor-
mation on recycling or disposal pro-
grams in your area. Some options that
might be available are: municipal curb-
side collection, drop-off boxes at retail-
ers such as your local RadioShack store,
recycling collection centers, and mail-
back programs.
Connecting THE Antenna
Follow these steps to attach the sup-
plied flexible antenna to your trans-
ceiver.
1. Align the slots around the
antenna’s connector with the tabs
on the antenna jack on top of the
transceiver.
2. While squeezing the base of the
antenna, press the antenna down
over the jack and turn the
antenna’s base clockwise until it
locks into place.

19-1206.fm Page 10 Tuesday, August 3, 1999 10:50 AM

11
Connecting an Optional Antenna
Although the supplied flexible antenna
provides excellent local reception, you
can connect an optional external mobile
antenna or outdoor base station antenna
to your transceiver for better reception of
weak signals. The antenna jack on the
top of the transceiver makes it easy to
use the transceiver with a variety of an-
tennas. Your local RadioShack store
sells a variety of antennas.
Caution: Never connect an antenna that
is not specifically tuned for the transceiv-
er’s frequency range.
Using the Belt Clip
The supplied belt clip lets you easily clip
the transceiver to your belt.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to secure the
clip to the transceiver’s back with the
supplied screws.
Connecting an Earphone/External
Speaker
To listen privately or to hear better in a
large area such as a warehouse, you
can plug a monaural earphone or an
external speaker with a 1/8-inch (3.5
mm) plug (not supplied) into the EAR
jack on thetop of the transceiver. This
automatically disconnects the built-in
speaker.

Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use an earphone.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting
before you begin listening. After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to
a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high vol-
ume levels. Extended high-volume
listening can lead to permanent
hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a vol-
ume level that does not cause dis-
comfort might still damage your
hearing.
Traffic Safety
Do not use an earphone with your trans-
ceiver when operating a motor vehicle or
riding a bicycle in or near traffic. Doing
so can create a traffic hazard and could
be illegal in some areas.
If you use an earphone with your trans-
ceiver while riding a bicycle, be very
careful. Do not listen to a continuous
broadcast. Even though some ear-
phones let you hear some outside
sounds when listening at normal volume
levels, they still can present a traffic haz-
ard.
Using an External Speaker/
Microphone
An external speaker/microphone can
make it easier to use the transceiver
when you clip it to your belt, so you do
not have to lift the transceiver to your
mouth each time you transmit. Plug
the speaker/microphone’s plug into
the EAR jack and the MIC jack on top
of the transceiver. This automatically
disconnects the transceiver’s built-in
speaker and microphone.

Setting Frequency Options
Before you can use your transceiver, an
authorized service facility must set your
transceiver to a VHF business band fre-
quency you have a license to use. Then,
you can select a preset CTCSS (Contin-
uous Tone Control Squelch System) fre-
quency and set your transceiver to use
it.
Here is what you need to do to set your
transceiver to use a business band fre-
quency and CTCSS.
þSend your transceiver to an authorized
service facility to have it set to a busi-
ness band frequency.
À
Set the DIP switches for a CTCSS fre-
quency (see “Using a CTCSS Frequen-
cy” on Page 14).
ÃSet your transceiver to that CTCSS
frequency.
ÕSet a DIP switch to activate or deacti-
vate CTCSS.
You can select one CTCSS frequency at
a time. If you do not want to use a CTC-
SS frequency, skip Steps 2_4 above.
About CTCSS
CTCSS helps eliminate interference
between different users of the same
frequency, letting you talk and listen to
people who are using other transceiv-
ers set to the same frequency and
CTCSS code. This is like having a sub-
channel within a channel, giving you
greater communication flexibility. When
you set a CTCSS code — there are 38
to choose from — and turn on your
transceiver’s CTCSS, the transceiver
transmits a tone with your transmis-
sion, letting you communicate with
anyone who has a transceiver set to
the same frequency and code. This
tone is too low for you to hear, but oth-
er transceivers can detect it.
If CTCSS is turned on and set to the
same tone on the receiving transceiv-
er, it only receives those transmissions
that include the tone. If two different
groups oper-ate transceivers in the
same area on the same frequency,
they do not hear each other’s broad-
casts if they both use CTCSS and
each select a different CTCSS tone.
Your transceiver’s default CTCSS tone
is 100 Hz.

Using a CTCSS Frequency
Follow these steps to set your transceiv-
er to a CTCSS frequency and then acti-
vate or deactivate CTCSS.
1. Turn VOLUME fully counterclock-
wise to make sure power is turned
off.
2. Remove the battery compartment
cover (see “Installing the Battery
Pack” on Page 8). You do not have
to remove the battery pack.
3. Choose a CTCSS code from the
table on the right. Then use a
pointed object such as a straight-
ened paper clip to set the position of
each DIP switch inside the battery
compartment to 1 (up) or 0 (down)
corresponding to the setting for that
CTCSS code.

4. Hold down PUSH TO TALK, then
turn VOLUME clockwise until it
clicks. The transceiver sets the
CTCSS code. Release PUSH TO
TALK.
If the transceiver beeps once and
RX/TX lights green for about 2
seconds, that means the CTCSS
setting was successful.
If the transceiver beeps 3 times
and RX/TX lights red for about 2
seconds, the CTCSS setting did
not work. Start over at Step 1.

Operational Hints
Your transceiver’s range varies depend-
ing on factors such as position, terrain,
and battery condition. Buildings absorb
transmitted signals and, if they contain
metal, might completely block the sig-
nals. Trees and heavy cloud formations
have a similar effect, though not as se-
vere. If you are near a lake or the ocean,
you might get excellent range.
To ensure maximum range, operate the
transceiver with the battery pack fully
charged. As the voltage decreases, the
range decreases.

Care AND Maintenance
Your RadioShack BTX-127 CTCSS • VHF/FM Business Band Transceiver is an exam-
ple of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care
for your transceiver so you can enjoy it for years.
• Keep the transceiver dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might
contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
• Use and store the transceiver only in normal temperature environments. Tem-
perature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries,
and distort or melt plastic parts.
• Keep the transceiver away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear
of parts.
• Handle the transceiver gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit
boards and cases and can cause the transceiver to work improperly.
• Use only a battery pack of the required size and type. Battery packs can leak
chemicals that damage your transceiver’s electronic parts.
• Wipe the transceiver with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do
not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the
transceiver.
Modifying or tampering with the transceiver’s internal components can cause a mal-
function and might invalidate your transceiver’s warranty and void your FCC authori-
zation to operate it. If your transceiver is not performing as it should, take it to your
local RadioShack store for assistance.

OR PROFIT OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSE-
QUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF RadioShack HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Some states do not allow the limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts
or the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limita-
tions or exclusions may not apply to you.
In the event of a product defect during the warranty period, take the product
and the RadioShack sales receipt as proof of purchase date to any Ra-
dioShack store. RadioShack will, at its option, unless otherwise provided by
law: (a) correct the defect by product repair without charge for parts and labor;
(b) replace the product with one of the same or similar design; or (c) refund
