Earset/Microphone Assembly

mode indicator ( ) is present on the display; however, the transceiver will still remain ready to receive any incoming transmissions in this idle (sleep) mode. Pressing any button will exit the battery saver mode.

The supplied Microphone/Earset assembly contains a convenient integral PTT switch, and eliminates the need of using the PTT switch on the unit to transmit voice communications. In the VOX mode, press- ing this switch to transmit is not required, since this mode enables hands-free communication simply by speaking into the microphone.

To transmit using the earset/microphone:

1.Set the desired primary channel; then press and hold the Earset/Micro phone assembly Push-to-Talk (PTT) button while speaking slowly and clearly in a normal voice into the boom microphone.

2.Release the PTT button when you finish speaking to receive incoming signals.

To receive using the earset/microphone:

1.Set the desired channel, and adjust the volume control to the desired listening volume by using the up and down buttons.

2.The transceiver will play received signals through through the earset/microphone assembly.

NOTES FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION

1 . The 22 channels of the GMRS1600-2PK 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 chan- nel and not to attempt to talk over someone who is already using the channel you first selected.
