INTRODUCTION
Your GMRS/FRS radio is a portable, easy-to-use, two-way radio that you can carry almost
anywhere. Use it to contact family and friends at shopping malls, amusement parks, sports events,
or at the beach to, or for making vital communications in a neighborhood watch.
Your radio has 22 GMRS/FRS channels, 38 CTCSS codes and 10 NOAA weather channels. If
someone else is using the same channel as you selected but you do not want to hear that person,
select another channel or use the CTCSS feature. You can talk with a person who has a
GMRS/FRS radio if both radios are tuned to the same channel and CTCSS code.
Your radio has auto-squelch, which means you will not hear anything on a channel unless
someone is transmitting nearby the same channel. You can turn off auto-squelch to hear weaker
and more distant transmissions.
Also, if the radio is idle for 30, 60 or 90 minutes, it will automatically shut off. It can be wakened
up when you press any key.
You can connect an optional speaker/microphone and earphone, charger (not supplied) to the radio.
In addition, the belt clip on the back of the radio makes you take it very conveniently, you can
carry it almost anywhere.
