xxx-xxxx21 of 2821NOTES FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION1 . The GMRS7015RC 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 vacantchannel and not to attempt to talk over someone who is already usingthe channel you first selected.2. The GMRS7015RC has been designed to maximize performanceand improve transmission range in the field.  To avoid interference,it is recommended that you do not use the units closer than 5 feetapart.3. For best transmission results, always keep your mouth about 2-3inches from the microphone (9) and speak slowly in a normal voice.4. To increase battery life, avoid features such as Scan and DualWatch. These features will reduce operating time considerably.Warning•Do not operate the transceiver unless you are licensed to do so.•Remove the batteries from the transceiver if it is not expected to be usedfor long periods.  This will eliminate the possibility of chemicals leakingfrom the batteries and corroding the transceiver.•Avoid exposing the transceiver to water or extremes of temperature.•Do not use this device in or near a mining facility, which uses remotelytriggered explosives or in areas labeled “Blasting Area”.  Premature oraccidental detonation may result.•Do not attempt to modify or in any way increase the output of thistransceiver.  Its output is designed to meet the legal limits set by the FCC.•Do not use this device or change its batteries in potentially explosiveatmospheres as sparks in such areas could result in an explosion.•Turn your transceiver off wherever posted notices restrict the use of radiosor cellular telephones.
