Channel Selection

-Press and hold the PTT button (4, *3) to transmit, then speak into the microphone clearly and slowly. The Transmit/Monitor LED lights red.

-Release the PTT Button (4, *3) to receive.

-Communication can only be accomplished when the channel and CTCSS tone frequency of at least two parties are the same.

-The CTC icon will be displayed on the LCD panel if the CTCSS tone frequency function is enabled.

In order to communicate with other FRS units, both transmitting and re- ceiving party must be on the same frequency.

The FRS-3000PK has 14 FRS channels (frequencies) (1-14) indicated by the large digits on the LCD display panel. Channels 1-7 are shared GMRS/FRS channels; channels 8-14 are FRS only. Communication with Audiovox FRS and compatible units is possible on these 14 channels. Before transmitting on the selected channel, press the Monitor (M) Button (2, *10) to check the activity on that channel. If there is activity on the selected channel, change to another channel that is clear.

To change the channel:

-From FRS standby mode, press the MODE button (15, *4) until the channel number flashes.

-Press the Up Button (10, *12) briefly to move to the next higher main channel number.

-Press the Down Button (13, *12) briefly to move to the next lower main channel number.

CTCSS Mode (Sub-Channel) Selection

The Coded Tone Controlled Squelch System (CTCSS) provides 38 Sub-Fre- quencies. This feature allows you to utilize the coded squelch tones (01–

38)within a main channel and enables you to communicate with another party on the same main channel using the same subcode. (This filters out unwanted transmissions without the same coded squelch tone). There
