Congratulations on your purchase of the Uniden
GMR2872-2CK/GMR2875-2CK (General Mobile
Radio Service) waterproof radio. This lightweight,
palm-sized, radio is a state-of-the-art device,
equipped with many valuable features. Use it at
sporting events, to stay in contact with family and
friends, hiking, skiing, outdoors, or in a
neighborhood watch for vital communication - even

standards, which means the radio can be

After your radio is submerged in water, you might
notice that the sound is distorted. This is because
there is still water remaining in and around the
speaker and microphone. Just shake the radio to
clear excess water, and the sound should return to
normal.
Note: If your radio is exposed to salt water, clean
your radio thoroughly with fresh water, and dry it
before turning it on.

same group code in order to communicate with
each other.
1) Tap TONE/GROUP in group mode. Press
CH or to select the group number.
2) Press ENTER/ or TONE/GROUP to return to

also the name that appears on other radio displays
when someone wants to make a direct call to you.
When no nickname is set, the unit number
appears.
1) Press MENU/ . Advance through the menu
until UNIT appears, and then press ENTER/ .
The current unit number flashes, then tap

2) Press CH or to select the letter, then
ENTER/ to advance to the next letter until you
have entered your nickname.
3) Press MENU/ to confirm the setting and exit
the menu.
Using Group Mode
Group mode lets you make direct calls to other
people in your group without alerting the entire
group and also lets you quickly change everyone in
your group to another channel from a single radio.
Before using group mode, follow the instructions in
"Setting Up Group Mode" on every radio in your
group. Then, to record the unit ID and everyone’s
nickname in every radio, send a call to "All" from
each radio one time (see "Sending a Direct Call").
Sending a Direct Call
Direct Call lets you call everyone in your group at
once, or call a single person in your group without
anyone else in the group knowing. It is like a
"speed dial" directly to the person(s) you want to
talk to.
To call everyone in your group, press D CALL in
group mode. The radio flashes ALL. Then, press
D CALL or ENTER/ . Everyone in your group
receives a call "chirp" for about 3 seconds. When
the chirp ends, begin your conversation.
Note: When you make a direct call to "all," your
radio also sends out your nickname or ID so that it
will show up in the call list for everyone in your
group.
To call one person in your group, without having
other people know, press D CALL in group mode.
Then, use CH or to select the person you
want to call and press D CALL or ENTER/ . Your
radio sounds tones for 3 seconds as it sends the
call. When the selected person answers, you can
begin your conversation. You can silence the call
tones at any time by pressing PTT or Power
boost.
Your conversation remains private between you
and the person you called until 15 seconds after
your last conversation. Then, your radio
automatically exits private mode.
Automatically Changing Channels
Auto Channel Change lets you easily coordinate a
channel change for everyone in your group. You
might want to do this when you find you are getting
a lot of interference on your current channel. Or,
you can use this feature to change from a low-
power channel (8-14) to one of the high-powered
channels (1-7, 15-22) if you need more range (or to
a low-power channel if you need longer battery
life).
USING THE RADIO IN STANDARD MODE
Use the radio in standard (not group) mode when
you need to be able to communicate with radios
that do not have the group feature.
Choosing a Privacy Code

or TXLO appears on the display according to
the type of channel. To avoid cutting off the first
part of your transmission, pause slightly after
pressing PTT or Power boost before you start
talking.
2) When you finish speaking, release PTT or
Power boost. You can now receive incoming

backlight, the channel indicator, SLNT and CALL
to alert you to an incoming call. If you do not
respond to the call within 15 seconds, the backlight

on and do not respond, the radio will turn on the
Missed Call icon. If you are using the Group Mode,

DCS Code List
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.
(2) This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Important: Any changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to
operate this device. Your radio is set up to transmit
a regulated signal on an assigned frequency. It is
against the law to alter or adjust 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:
• Never open your radio’s case.
• 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.
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 radio." 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.
Important: Evidence of original purchase is
required for warranty service.

ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTYREGULATORY INFORMATION
WARNING! Read this information before using
the radio. In August 1996 the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the United
States with its action in Report and Order FCC
96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for
human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated
transmitters.
Those guidelines are consistent with the safety
standard previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies. The design of the
radio complies with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.
Never allow children to operate the radio without
adult supervision and the knowledge of the
following guidelines.
WARNING! It is up to the user to properly operate
this radio transmitter to insure safe operation.
Please adhere to the following:
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could impair call quality, damage the
radio, or result in violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the radio with a damaged antenna.
If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the
skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your
local dealer for a replacement antenna.
Hand-held Operation (Held-to-Face)
This device was evaluated for typical hand-held
(held-to-face) operations with a 1 inch spacing from
the front of the radio. For hand-held operation, the
radio should be held 1 inch from the user's face in
order to comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements.
For more information about RF exposure, please
visit the FCC web site at www.fcc.gov.
