Turning your GMRS ON
Rotate the Power ON/OFF/Volume Control in
a clockwise direction. The unit will beep, the
LCD panel will display information about your
radio, and the panel will be illuminated by a
green light for several seconds.
Communication
You can communicate two ways with your new
GMRS radio. There are 15 channels available
to you, each with 38 interference elimination
codes (CTCSS codes). You can either talk
directly to others and hear their response, or
you can call or page them with an audible tone.
In all cases, both units must be set to the
same channels and CTCSS codes, or they will
not communicate
. If the CTCSS code feature
is turned off, you will hear all transmissions
on the channel (1-15) that you are tuned to.
The GMRS radios can only communicate
when either the Talk button (for speech), or
the Call button (for paging) is pressed. The
unit can only receive when both buttons are
fully released.
Receiving Communications
When your GMRS unit is turned ON and is not
being used to transmit voice communication or
pages, it is always in the listening mode.
You cannot receive any transmissions when
the
or
buttons are pressed, even
if you aren’t saying anything. Pressing these
buttons automatically overrides and turns off
the receive mode.
