FUNCTIONS INSTALLATION
POWER:
The FR-115 is powered through 3x AAA penlite
batteries.
1. Open the battery compartment by pressing
the tab at the bottom of the battery cover
upwards, the battery cover can then be
removed.
In order to avoid the risk of
suffocation when used by small
children, because the belt clip is
a relatively small part, the belt clip
has been glued by the factory.
Removal and re-installation of the
battery cover may be more difficult.
2. Install the batteries according
to the markings in the battery
compartment and close the
battery compartment.
HEADSET:
On top of the FR-115 you’ll find the connector
for a headset with a 2.5mm plug. We advise you
to use an Alecto FRH-10 headset for this.

Sub-channel explanation, (CTCSS code):
Continuous Tone Controlled Squelch System
is a tone code that’s included while transmit-
ting. This tone code is not audible. Only when
the tone code of the transmitting walkie-talkie
matches the tone code of the receiving walkie-
talkie, the receiving walkie-talkie will reproduce
the signal. This prevents you from being dis-
turbed by other PMR-446 walkie-talkies commu-
nicating on the same channel.
