CAUTION

SAFETY INFORMATION

Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. When the PTT button is pushed (or the VOX mode is enabled) it sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. The device is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50%. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless devices.

Important: To maintain compliance with the FCC’ s RF exposure guidelines hold the transmitter at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your face and speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away. If you wear the handset on your body while using the headset accessory, use only the Audiovox supplied carry clip for this product and ensure that the antenna is at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting. Use only the supplied antenna. Do not use your transceiver with a damaged antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.

Performance:

Your transceiver will only achieve its maximum operating range when communicating with other transceivers across open and flat areas or between elevated points. Normally occurring environmental factors such as buildings, trees, terrain and weather, or interference from other radio or electrical equipment, may have adverse effects on the transceiver’s effective range. These are not indicative of a fault condition.

Avoid placing the GMRS672 radio transceiver for prolonged periods

of time in direct sunlight or temperatures below -4 F (-20 C) or above 140F (60C).

1.Busy Indicator: This icon appears when the unit is receiving a transmission.

2. Transmit Indicator: Icon appears when the unit is in the transmit mode (PTT button activated or VOX mode active).

Powering the transceiver:

Your GMRS672 radio transceiver operates on three AAA Alkaline batteries. Alkaline batteries will provide slightly better performance than rechargeable batteries. Only Audiovox approved rechargeable batteries should be recharged in the radio transceiver using the charging accessories. This will ensure optimum performance for the GMRS672. Battery charging time is typically 16-20 hours for full charge.

Installing the batteries:

Press down with the thumb at the embossed arrow, slide the battery cover down and lift it away from the compartment. Insert three AAA batteries (alternate positive ends (+) toward the top of the transceiver, starting left-to- right).

Push To Talk (PTT) Button (3)

Pressing and holding this button will allow you to speak to any transceiver that is set to the same channel as yours. Hold the transceiver approximately 1 to 2 inches from your face as you speak into the built in microphone (5). After you have finished speaking, release the PTT Button to allow reception of incoming signals. It is not possible to transmit and receive at the same time. Whenever the button is pressed, the transmit signal icon ( TX ) will appear in the upper left corner of the display. Releasing the button allows the unit to revert to standby mode. When receiving an incoming signal, the RX icon will appear.

The PTT Button can also be used as a two-way call ringer. Pressing the

button twice quickly will call another party on the same channel. The transmit
icon ( TX ) will be displayed for 3 seconds and then disappear	.
