NOTES FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION
1 .The GMRS200W 22 channels 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
channel and not to attempt to talk over someone who is already
using the channel you first selected.
2.The GMRS200W has been designed to maximize performance
and improve transmission range in the field. To avoid interference,
it is recommended that you do not use the units closer than
5 feet apart.
3.For best transmission results, always keep your mouth about
2-3 inches from the microphone (5) and speak slowly
in a normal voice.
4.To increase battery life, avoid features such as Scan.
These features will reduce operating time considerably.
Warning
• Do not operate the transceiver unless you are licensed to do so.
chemicals leaking from the batteries and corroding the
transceiver.
Premature or accidental detonation may result.
• Remove the batteries from the transceiver if it is not expected to
be used for long periods. This will eliminate the possibility of
• Avoid exposing the transceiver to water or extremes of temperature.
• Do not use this device in or near a mining facility, which uses
remotely triggered explosives or in areas labeled “Blasting Area”.
• Do not attempt to modify or in any way increase the output of this
transceiver. Its output is designed to meet the legal limits set
by the FCC.
• Do not use this device or change its batteries in potentially
explosive atmospheres as sparks in such areas could result
in an explosion.
• Turn your transceiver off wherever posted notices restrict the use
of radios or cellular telephones. Facilities such as hospitals may
use equipment that is sensitive to RF energy.
