through 14 channels. The channel number on the display will be rapidly
cycling through the channels.

2) When you are finished speaking, release the PTT button. You can now
receive incoming calls. While receiving, the receive icon
will be
shown on the display.

Your GMRS520 radio is equipped with a call tone that will be transmitted
when the Call button is pressed.
To transmit the call alert tone, press the Call button. The tone will
automatically be transmitted for a fixed length of time.

scan all 22 channels. When an active channel is detected, the unit will
pause on that channel until the channel is clear. Then after a 4 second
delay, the unit will continue scanning. Pressing PTT while the scan is
paused on a channel will allow you to transmit on that channel.

FCC INFORMATION
SAFETY GUIDELINES
• This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
• Important: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved
by Uniden could void your authority to operate this unit. Your radio is
set up to transmit a regulated signal on an assigned frequency. It is
against the law to alter the settings inside the radio to exceed those
limitations. Any adjustments to your radio must be made by qualified
technicians.
• To be safe and sure:
o Never open your radio’s case
o Never change or replace anything in your radio except the batteries.
• Your radio might cause TV or radio interference even when it is
operating properly. To determine whether your radio is causing the
interference, turn it off. If the interference goes away, your radio is
causing it. Try to eliminate the interference by moving your radio away
from the receiver. If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC
requires that you stop using the radio.
• Audio Accessories: Do not operate the radio with audio accessories at
high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous high
volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the
volume level or discontinue use. Always make sure the radio is turned
off before plugging audio accessories into the accessory jack.
• Hazardous Environments: Do not operate the radio in hazardous
environments. Explosion or fire may result. Do not operate the radio
near unshielded electrical blasting caps. Under certain conditions, radios
can interfere with blasting operations and may cause an explosion. Turn
your radio OFF to prevent accidental transmission when in a blasting
area or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radios.” Construction crews
often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.
Care and Safety: To clean the radio, use a soft cloth dampened with water.
Do not use cleaners or solvents because they can harm the body of the unit
and leak inside, causing permanent damage. Use a dry, lint-free cloth to
clean the battery contacts. Do not submerge the unit in water. If the unit
gets wet, turn it off and remove the batteries immediately. Dry the battery
compartment with a soft cloth to minimize potential water damage. Leave
the battery compartment cover off overnight to ensure complete drying. Do
not use the radio until the unit is completely dry.
