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.
