Feature Highlights
Thank you on your recent purchase of the ChatterBox model FRS X2. The
FRS X2 is a micro size 1 channel portable FM transceiver constructed with
a microprocessor controlled, temperature compensated Phase Locked Loop
(PLL) frequency synthesizer. The radio features a double conversion receiv-
er and a direct FM transmitter modulator. A special integrated circuit provides
support to sub-audible signaling (CTCSS) and most of the receiving parts are
switched off periodically in the power saver mode to reduce battery current
drain during standby. The FRS X2 is FM transceiver operating 62MHz-
67MHz. With the output power of 0.5 Watt, the radio is capable of commu-
nicating up to 2 miles. Now you can share your thoughts, as well as the road
or trail, with all your friends or even your passenger. The ChatterBox will
greatly enhance your riding experiences and can even increase your safety in
certain situations.
The ChatterBox FRS X2 is the most technologically advanced state of the art
two way radio with a range of up to 2 miles.
Sophisticated voice activated circuitry makes the FRS X2 easy to use. All you
have to do is talk.
You can operate this unit freely on each of the 1 channels and 38 talk groups
without a complicated FCC license.
Full duplex intercom for private communication between rider and passenger
is possible.
Transmission between one rider/passenger to another rider/passenger is possi-
ble.
Power is supplied by a built in rechargeable Ni-MH battery.
Enjoy the sound of music in true stereo sound which automatically mutes dur-
ing communication. An optional audio cord is needed.
An optional call cord is available to allow you to answer incoming calls from
your cellular phone, (call for applications).
An optional sport headset is available for unlimited applications; Camping
Biking, Skiing, Snowboarding, Hunting, Fishing, Hiking, etc.

Initial Set-Up
The rechargeable Ni-MH battery comes initially charged from the
factory. We recommend that the battery be pre-conditioned by
allowing it to drain completely before applying an additional 14 hr.
full charge. To reduce the risk of damage to the battery do not use
any other charger except the one supplied with the FRS X2. Please
note the battery should have a full charge before the unit is stored
for a long period of time.
If you use the unit after leaving it unused for a long period of time
or when you feel that the durability of the battery becomes shorter
than before, you can try to restore the battery to the original state
by following the steps outlined below.
1. Discharge the battery completely by leaving the unit on and set-
ting the VOX sensitivity to high (next to a TV or radio or in a
noisy room) until the battery is completely drained.
2. Charge the battery completely.
3. Discharge the battery again by following Step 1.
4. You can try to restore the battery to the original state by repeat-
ing Steps 1 and 2 at least three times.
NOTE: WHEN YOU SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONE AND
HEAR A CHIME IT IS TIME TO RECHARGE THE BAT-
TERY.

emit a tone to let you know the unit is on.
Turn the VOX sensitivity dial counterclockwise to turn the unit off. The
radio will emit a tone to let you know the unit is off.
VOX Sensitivity
The VOX dial controls the sensitivity of the microphone. As the dial is
turned clockwise, the sensitivity increases. This unit has circuitry and soft-
ware that senses when you speak through the headset and will automatical-
ly transmit. When the surrounding noise levels increase, the mic may be

require your voice to be slightly louder in order to activate the microphone
transmission.
