SPECIFICATIONS
Automatic Power Save Feature
Your GMR225 radio has a unique circuit designed
to dramatically extend the life of the batteries.
If there is no transmission nor an incoming call
within 3 seconds, your radio switches to the Power
Save mode. The radio is still able to receive
transmissions in this mode.
LCD Backlight
The LCD backlight will automatically turn ON when
any key (except for the
PTT
and
Power boost
button) is pressed. The LCD display will
illuminate for 10 seconds before turning OFF.
Monitor Mode Feature
Your GMR225 radio allows you to listen for weak
signals on the current channel at the press of a
key.
To turn ON the monitor mode:
• Press
MON
for brief listening, the
icon will
blink.
• Press and hold
MON
for 2 seconds for
continuous listening. The receiver circuit will stay
open, and letting in both the noise & weak
signals.
To turn OFF monitor mode:
• Press
MON
to return to "Normal" mode, and the
icon stops blinking.
Roger Beep
Roger Beep is a BEEP that is sent to notify the end
of transmission (PTT transmission, power boost
transmission and VOX.) Roger Beep can be heard
through the speaker when Key Beep is on. If key
beep is turned off, Roger Beep will not be heard
from the speaker.
To turn ON Roger Beep:
Press and hold the
key while turning ON the
radio.
To turn OFF Roger Beep:
Press and hold the
key while turning ON the
radio.
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:
Changes or modifications to this unit
not expressly approved by Sylvania 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 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 IC 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.
