Batteries
There are two methods of powering the GMRS-1100:
1. Alkaline Batteries - (4 x AAA size)
NOTES FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION
1. The GMRS-1100 22channels 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 GMRS-1100 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, avoid features such as Scan, Dual Watch and Weather Alert.
These features will reduce operating time considerably.
