The COMMUNICATOR operates in a license-freeradio band on the FRS channels 8 - 14 (no FCC license is neededfor its operation), and on licensed GMRS/FRS channels 1 - 7, andGMRS channels 15 - 22 (see page 22 regarding licensinginformation).The COMMUNICATOR is a lightweight, compact two-waycommunication device that can be used to communicate with familyor friends at parks, shopping malls, sporting events, concerts -- anyindoor or outdoor activity!The COMMUNICATOR is compatible with other brands utilizing thesame FRS frequency band (operating in the frequency range from462.5625 MHz to 467.7125 MHz) or same GMRS frequency band(operating in 462.5750 MHz to 462.7250 MHz). The COMMUNICATOR has 22 CHANNELS, including 7 FRSchannels, 7 GMRS/FRS channels, and 8 GMRS channels (Fordetails, refer to page 15 CHANNEL TABLE.).Other features include ELECTRONIC VOLUME CONTROL andBATTERY SAVE CIRCUITRY.Please read this Owner's Manual carefully to get the most out ofyour GMRS/FRS COMMUNICATOR. NOTE: The maximum transmission range will vary depending onterrain and environment. Range will be greater in openfields, while range is shorter within and around buildings orlarge structures.This unit may not ensure privacy of communication.

FCC NoticeFCC Notice5 6Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit notexpressly approved by the party responsible forcompliance could void the user’s authority to operate theequipment.Note: This equipment has been tested and found to complywith the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to providereasonable protection against harmful interference in aresidential installation. This equipment generates, usesand can radiate radio frequency energy and, if notinstalled and used in accordance with the instructions,may cause harmful interference to radio communications.However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occurin a particular installation. If this equipment does causeharmful interference to radio or television reception, whichcan be determined by turning the equipment off and on, theuser is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one ormore of the following measures:●Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.●Increase the separation between the equipment andreceiver.●Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit differentfrom that to which the receiver is connected.●Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technicianfor help.Safety Information:Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver contains alow power transmitter. When the Push-to-Talk (PTT) buttonis pushed it sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. InAugust 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions(FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levelsfor hand-held wireless devices.Important: To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RFexposure guidelines, hold the transmitter and ANTENNAat least 2 inches (5 centimeters) from your face and speakin a normal voice, with the ANTENNA pointed up and awayfrom the face. If you wear the handset on your body whileusing the headset accessory, use only the supplied BELTCLIP for this product and when transmitting, take it out ofthe belt to ensure that the ANTENNA is at least 2 inches(5 centimeters) from your body.Use only the supplied ANTENNA. Unauthorized antennas,modifications, or attachments could damage the transmitterand may violate FCC regulations. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) thisdevice may not cause harmful interference, and (2) thisdevice must accept any interference received, includinginterference that may cause undesired operation.

Care and Maintenance Troubleshooting 17 18CAUTION !Damaged ANTENNA:Do not use any COMMUNICATOR that has a damaged ANTENNA. If adamaged ANTENNA comes in contact with the skin, a minor burn mayresult. Batteries:All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such asburns if conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chainstouches exposed terminals. The material may complete an electricalcircuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handlingany charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse,or other container with metal objects.WARNING !For Vehicles with an Air Bag:Do not place your COMMUNICATOR in the area over an air bag or inthe air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If aCOMMUNICATOR is placed in the air bag deployment area and the airbag inflates, the COMMUNICATOR may be propelled with great forceand cause serious injury to the occupants of vehicle.Potentially Explosive Atmospheres:Turn your COMMUNICATOR OFF when in any area with a potentiallyexplosive atmosphere, unless it is a type specifically qualified for suchuse (for example, Factory Mutual Approved). Sparks in such areas couldcause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.Batteries:Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere.Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries andcause an explosion. Blasting Caps and Areas:To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn yourCOMMUNICATOR OFF near electrical blasting caps or in a “blastingarea” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs andinstructions.NOTE: Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, butnot always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as belowdeck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areaswhere the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, ormetal powders; and any other area where you would normally beadvised to turn off your vehicle engine.SYMPTOMNo power. Reception is weak.Cannot changechannels.Range is limited.Sound distortionproblems.SOLUTION●Check batteries. Ensure that the batteries areinstalled properly.●The batteries may be weak.●Replace old batteries with four (4) new 1.5V“AAA” alkaline batteries or Ni-MHrechargeable batteries.●Press the UP ▲▲ button to increase VOLUME●The receiving signal may be weak and/or out ofrange.●If this happens, press the MONITOR M button.●To change channels, press the MODE buttonuntil the channel number flashes on the LCDScreen.●Press the UP ▲▲ or DOWN ▼▼ buttons tochange channels.●Batteries may be weak.● BUTTON LOCK mode must be deactivated.●BATTERIES may be weak.●Replace with new batteries if the BATTERYLEVEL indicator is low.●The maximum range will vary depending onterrain and environment.●Open fields provide the maximum range, whilesteel/concrete structures, heavy foliage, anduse in buildings and in vehicles may limit therange significantly.●Wearing the radio close to the body, such as ina pocket or on a belt, will decrease range;change the location of the radio.●If you are transmitting, speak in a normaltone of voice, 2 to 3 inches away from theMICROPHONE.●If you are receiving, lower the volume to acomfortable level.●Radios too close. Radios must be at least 5 feetapart; increase your distance.●Radios too far apart. Obstacles interfere withtransmission. Talk range is from 2 to 7 miles inclear unobstructed conditions.
