TRAINING INFORMATION
Your radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode . This radio
is designed for and classified as “ Occupational Use Only “ ,meaning it must be
used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards ,
and the ways to minimize such hazards . This radio is NOT Intended for use by the
General Population in an uncontrolled environment .
This radio is not designed for use by the general population and is restricted to
occupational users only, where the operator has control of his or RF exposure .
Safety Information For GMRS UNIT
Your wireless handheld portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. When
the TALK button is pushed it sends out radio frequency (RF) signals . This device is
authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50% In August 1996,the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety
levels for handheld wireless devices.
To ensure that your exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC
allowable limits for occupational use ,always adhere to the following guldeilnes:
. DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached , as this may
damage the radio and also cause you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits . A proper
antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna
specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio.
. DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (50% duty cycle)
Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements to be exceeded.
.ALWAYS use authorized accessories antennas, batteries,belt clips, speaker/mic,
etc). Use of unauthorized accessories can cause the FCC RF exposure
compliance requirements to be exceeded.
ALWAYS keep the antenna at least 2.5cm (1 inch) away from the body when
transmitting ,If you wear the handset on your body while using the headset
accessory, DO NOT TRANSMIT. The GM-22 supplied belt clip is for storage
purposes ONLY. This is to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are
not exceeded. To provide the recipients of your transmission the best sound quality,
hold the antenna at least 5cm(2 inches) from the mouth, and slightly off to one side.

Operation
38
Turning On Your GMRS
Push & hold Power button, to turn the GMRS/
FRS radio on or off. The unit will beep, the LCD
panel will display information about your radio,
and the panel will be illuminated by a green light
for several seconds.
Communication
You can communicate two ways with your new
GMRS/FRS radio. There are 22 channels
available to you, each with 38 interference
elimination codes (CTCSS codes). You can
either talk directly to others and hear their
response, or you can call or page them with
an audible tone.
In all cases, both units must be set to the
same channels and CTCSS codes, or they
will not communicate. If the CTCSS code
feature is turned off, you will hear all
transmissions on the channel (1-22) that
you are tuned to.
The GMRS/FRS radios can only
communicate when either the TALK button
(for speech), or the CALL button (for
paging) is pressed. The unit can only
receive when both buttons are fully
released.
Receiving Communications
When your GMRS/FRS unit is turned on and is
11
Operation
not being used to transmit voice
communication or pages, it is always in the
listening mode.
You cannot receive any transmissions when
the TALK or CALL buttons are pressed, even
if you aren’ t saying anything. Pressing these
buttons automatically overrides and turns off
the receive mode.
When you are using the unit in conversation,
you must release the TALK and/or CALL
buttons to hear the responses of the other
people. Failure to do so will keep your unit in
transmission mode, preventing you from
hearing other units.

conditions at the time of your conversation.
Some conditions that affect range are:
•
Buildings
•
Dense trees or foliage
•
Hilly or mountainous terrain
The best range will be in flat, open terrain,
without obstructions. Using the MON (monitor)
button to override the automatic squelch will help
extend the range to the maximum limits.
