Battery Alert

When the battery icon () blinks steadily on the LCD panel, recharge the unit or install fresh batteries.

NOTES FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION

1 . The GMRS122CH 22 channels are shared on a ‘take turns’ basis. This means other groups may be talking on any of the channels. A common code of ethics/courtesy is to switch to another vacant channel and not to attempt to talk over someone who is already using the channel you first selected.

2.The GMRS122CH has been designed to maximize performance and improve transmission range in the field. To avoid interference, it is recommended that you do not use the units closer than 5 feet apart.

3.For best transmission results, always keep your mouth about 2-3 inches from the microphone (9) and speak slowly in a normal voice.

4.To increase battery life, use the SCAN feature sparingly. This feature will reduce operating time considerably.

Warning

•Do not operate the transceiver unless you are licensed to do so.

•Remove the batteries from the transceiver if it is not expected to be used for long periods. This will eliminate the possibility of chemicals leaking from the batteries and corroding the transceiver.

•Avoid exposing the transceiver to water or extremes of temperature.

•Do not use this device in or near a mining facility, which uses remotely triggered explosives or in areas labeled “Blasting Area”. Premature or accidental detonation may result.
