Powering the transceiver:

Your GMRS200 radio transceiver operates on four rechargeable batteries.
Only approved rechargeable batteries can be recharged in the 
GMRS4WM wall mount charger. This will ensure optimum performance
for the GMRS200. Battery charging time is typically 10-12 hours.
Use of other brands of rechargeable batteries is not recommended as
battery charging time will vary. Do not mix old and new, or batteries of
differing manufacture, since the charging will be uneven and will
result in decreased battery life.

If necessary, four AAA alkaline batteries can be used to power the GMRS200,
but note that these type batteries can not be recharged and damage to

the charger or the batteries may result if the units are placed in the 
GMRS4WM wall mount charger with the alkaline batteries installed.
FOR THIS REASON, IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE ALKALINE
BATTERIES IN THE GMRS200.

DO NOT PLACE GMRS200 TRANSCEIVERS IN THE CHARGING

STAND IF THERE ARE ALKALINE BATTERIES INSTALLED.

12.Small Segment Display: Displays the CTCSS tone option for each

main channel from 01-38.

13.Dual Watch Mode Indicator:  Indicator appears when dual watch

mode is active.

14.Voice Activated Transmission (VOX) Indicator:  This function

allows hands free conversation. The indicator appears when the
VOX mode is activated.
