Motorola T600 FRS Radio Quick Start Guide
During an emergency, communication is vital. Dial "911" whenever possible to reach
emergency services. The 911 dispatchers are best equipped to handle emergencies.
However, wired, and wireless telephone service can fail during emergency situations like ice
storms, earthquakes, and flooding. In these situations, residents can use a "Motorola T600 Family Radio
Service (FRS) Radio" (referred to as "FRS radio") to communicate with neighbors within Lake Oswego.
Uses and Limitations
1. FRS radios will NOT allow you to communicate with public safety agencies (fire, police and 911).
2. Emergency 911 will NOT monitor FRS radios.
3. FRS radios are for communicating and relaying information within the neighborhoods to solve
issues at the lowest levels; without public agencies involved.
4. FRS radios require all operators to be on the same channel and within the transmitting and
receiving range; and are not capable of long‐distance communications.
5. FRS radios can be used to relay pertinent information to central sites in your neighborhood or
possibly to a fire station. (NOTE: During an emergency/disaster, fire stations may not be staffed)
