FCC RULES PART 95, SUBPART A  
You must be familiar with Part 95, Subpart A of FCC  
Rules and Regulations before you operate your trans-  
ceiver. The operation instructions in this manual con-  
form to Part 95, but do not cover all items in Part 95.  
In part, Part 95, Subpart A, states that:  
• You must be 18 years of age, or older, and not a  
representative of a foreign government to get a  
license.  
• Businesses or associations cannot qualify for a  
GMRS license.  
• A licensee can let immediate family members  
operate under GMRS Rules and Regulations.  
• Channels or channel pairs assigned to GMRS  
systems are available on a shared basis and will  
not be assigned for the exclusive use of any lic-  
ensee.  
• As licensee, you are responsible for proper  
operation of all transceivers operating under  
your license.  
• You must take reasonable precautions to pre-  
vent harmful interference to others operating on  
the same frequency.  
7
 
19-902.fm Page 8 Tuesday, August 3, 1999 2:03 PM  
You must not transmit program material of any  
kind used in connection with commercial broad-  
casting.  
You must not provide a service that is normally  
handled by telephone or telegraph unless such  
broadcasts involve the safety of life or property  
or in emergencies such as an earthquake, hurri-  
cane, flood, or a similar disaster where normal  
communication channels are disrupted.  
Violating any of the provisions of Part 95 can result in  
fines and/or confiscation of equipment.  
The General Mobile Radio Service is under the juris-  
diction of the Federal Communications Commission  
(FCC). Any adjustments or alterations that would alter  
the performance of the transceiver so it no longer  
meets the original FCC type acceptance or would  
change the frequency-determining method are strictly  
prohibited.  
Replacement or substitution of crystals, transistors,  
ICs, regulator diodes, or any other component that is  
of a unique nature, with components other than those  
recommended, can violate the technical regulations  
of FCC Rules and Regulations or violate type accep-  
tance requirements of the rules.  
8
 
19-902.fm Page 9 Tuesday, August 3, 1999 2:03 PM  
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 interference goes  
away, your transceiver is causing it. Try to eliminate  
the interference by:  
• Moving your transceiver away from the TV or  
radio  
• Contacting your local RadioShack store for help  
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC re-  
quires that you stop using your transceiver.

19-902.fm Page 10 Tuesday, August 3, 1999 2:03 PM  
PREPARATION  
Before you use the transceiver, you must be properly  
licensed by the FCC. If you already have a GMRS li-  
cense, you can immediately use the transceiver.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK  
You must charge the battery pack with the supplied  
battery charger or with an optional charger (see “Op-  
tional Accessories” on Page 24) before you use the  
tranciever for the first time and whenever the battery  
becomes low.  
Follow these steps to charge the battery pack using  
the supplied charger.  
1. If the transceiver is on, turn VOL•OFF counter-  
clockwise to turn it off.  
2. Lift the protective cover away from the acces-  
sory jacks.  
3. Plug the charger into the small (lower) jack, then  
connect the charger to a standard AC outlet.

19-902.fm Page 13 Tuesday, August 3, 1999 2:03 PM  
Cautions:  
• Do not operate the transceiver while you charge  
the battery pack. Using the battery charger  
mutes the transceiver’s speaker.  
To ensure a full charge, do not charge the bat-  
tery pack in an area where the temperature is  
above 95°F. To prevent permanent battery  
power loss, do not charge the battery at temper-  
atures below 43°F.  
• Use only the supplied or recommended charg-  
ers to recharge the transceiver’s battery pack.  
Using any other charger could permanently  
damage your transceiver or the battery pack.  
• A fully charged battery will last about 8 hours in  
the PRS-102.  
Important: This transceiver uses a rechargeable  
nickel-cadmium battery pack. At the end of the battery  
pack’s useful life, it must be recycled or disposed of  
properly. Contact your local, county, or state hazard-  
ous waste management authorities for information on  
recycling or disposal programs in your area. Some  
options that might be available are: municipal curb-  
side collection, drop-off boxes at retailers, recycling  
collection centers, and mail-back programs.

OPERATIONAL HINTS  
Your transceiver’s range varies depending on factors  
such as position, terrain, and battery condition.  
Range can best be described as line of sight. The  
fewer obstructions you have between two tranceivers,  
the better range you can expect. Buildings absorb  
transmitted signals and, if they contain metal, might  
completely block the signals. 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 de-  
creases, the range decreases.  
18  
 
19-902.fm Page 19 Tuesday, August 3, 1999 2:03 PM  
CTCSS OPTION  
WHY USE CTCSS?  
CTCSS (Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System)  
is available as an optional add-on to your transceiver.  
When CTCSS is turned on, the transceiver transmits  
a selected tone with your transmission. This tone is  
too low for you to hear, but other transceivers can de-  
tect it. If CTCSS is turned on and set to the same tone  
on the receiving transceiver, it only receives transmis-  
sions that include the tone. This way, CTCSS can  
help keep you from hearing other users on the same  
frequency.  
For example, if two different groups operate trans-  
ceivers in the same area on the same frequency but  
use a different CTCSS tone, they only hear their own  
broadcasts.  
Note:  
CTCSS does not make your conversations pri-  
vate. Other users can still hear your transmissions if  
they use the same frequency.  
19  
 
19-902.fm Page 20 Tuesday, August 3, 1999 2:03 PM  
SETTING THE CTCSS TONE  
Notes:  
• If you are a part of a talk group, be sure all of the  
radios in the talk group use the same tone.  
You must install the CTCSS option before you  
can set the CTCSS tone.  
1. Turn off the radio.  
2. Unlock the battery compartment cover latch on  
each side. (The orange tabs should be visible.)  
Then slide the cover down and lift it off.

3. Remove the battery pack and tray. This exposes  
the bank of CTCSS switches.

19-902.fm Page 21 Tuesday, August 3, 1999 2:03 PM  
4. Select any one CTCSS code found in the table  
on Pages 22 and 23, then find the correspond-  
ing switch positions in the tables.  
5. With a pointed instrument, such as a pin, place  
the dip switches in the positions that match the  
desired tone.  
For example:

2
Down  
Position  
Note: Setting Switch 8 to the down position dis-  
ables the CTCSS feature. You must set the  
switch to the up position to turn on CTCSS.  
6. After setting your CTCSS code, replace the bat-  
tery tray, battery pack, and battery compartment  
cover, then turn on the transceiver.

MAINTENANCE  
Your RadioShack PRS-102 UHF 10-Channel Person-  
al Radio Service Transceiver is an example of supe-  
rior design and craftsmanship. The following  
suggestions will help you care for the transceiver so  
you can use it for years.  
Keep the transceiver dry. If it gets wet, im-  
mediately wipe it dry. Some liquids con-  
tain minerals that can corrode the  
electronic circuits.  
Use and store the transceiver only in nor-  
mal temperature environments. Temper-  
ature extremes can shorten the life of  
electronic devices, damage batteries,  
and distort or melt plastic parts.  
Handle the transceiver gently and careful-  
ly. Dropping it can damage the circuit  
boards and can cause the transceiver to  
work improperly.  
Keep the transceiver away from dust and  
dirt, which can cause premature wear of  
parts.

19-902.fm Page 30 Tuesday, August 3, 1999 2:03 PM  
Wipe the transceiver with a damp cloth  
CLEANER  
occasionally to keep it looking new. Do  
not use harsh chemicals, cleaning sol-  
vents, or strong detergents to clean the  
transceiver. Use of chemicals or deter-  
gents could damage the plastic case, and  
leak into the transceiver.  
Modifying or tampering with the transceiver’s internal  
components (unless otherwise stated in this manual)  
can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its war-  
ranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If  
your transceiver is not performing as it should, take it  
to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
