Battery Alert

When the battery icon ( 

 ) blinks steadily on the LCD panel, recharge

the unit or install fresh batteries.

NOTES FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION

1 . The GMRS602CH 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  GMRS602CH  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 (9) and speak slowly in a normal voice.

4. To increase battery life, use the SCAN feature sparingly. This

feature will reduce operating time considerably.
