USER TIPS
General:
The FR-06 is a receiver/transmitter using radio waves
in the 446MHz band.
Communication interference may occur through exter-
nal influences such as other walkie-talkies, transmit-
ters, mobile phones etc. If your walkie-talkie encoun-
ters or causes interference, changing channel may be
a solution.
The use of this walkie-talkie is permitted in all EU
countries. If you plan to take the FR-06 to countries
outside the EU, please check the local conditions and
restrictions concerning the use of PMR446 devices.
Be aware that the signal of the FR-06 can also be
received by other walkie-talkies or receivers and there-
fore your conversations can be heard by others.
