[. . . ] AVOID PLACING THE GMRS122-2 RADIO TRANSCEIVER FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT OR TEMPERATURES BELOW -4° F (-20° C) OR ABOVE 140 ° F (60° C). GMRS LICENSE: USE OF THIS RADIO WITHIN THE UNITED STATES REQUIRES AN FCC GMRS LICENSE. AN INDIVIDUAL 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER, WHO IS NOT A REPRESENTATIVE OF A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT, IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR A GMRS SYSTEM LICENSE. YOU WILL NEED TWO FORMS FROM THE FCC; FCC FORM 159 AND FCC FORM 605 MAIN FORM AND SCHEDULE F. [. . . ] Check activity by pressing the Monitor (M) Button longer than 2 seconds; the icon will apppear on the display and you will hear static if frequency is clear. Hold down the Monitor Button again longer than 2 seconds and the icon will disapppear from the display. The monitor function will temporarily bypass the squelch setting and play all signals on a given channel. This feature is useful when communicating with other parties at extreme range. By pressing the monitor button momentarily, the LCD backlight is turned on; the LCD backlight will turn off automatically in about 5 seconds, unless the monitor button is pressed momentarily once again. Push To Talk (PTT) Button (4) Pressing and holding this button will allow you to speak to any transceiver that is set to the same channel and privacy code setting as yours. Hold the transceiver approximately 1 to 2 inches from your face as you speak into the built in microphone (9). After you have finished speaking, release the PTT Button to allow reception of incoming signals. Whenever the button is pressed, the transmit signal icon ( ) will appear in the upper left corner of the display. When receiving an incoming signal, the The PTT Button can also be used as a two-way call ringer. Pressing the button twice quickly will call another party on the same channel. To change the CTCSS Sub-channel: - From GMRS/FRS standby mode, press the MODE Button twice; a flash ing oF or sub-channel number is displayed. - Press the Up or Down button to select the desired sub-channel for use (01-38 ). The CTCSS mode can be turned off by selecting the oF icon as the setting. NOTE: To communicate with other GMRS/FRS units, they must be switched to the same channel and CTCSS subcode. To communicate with other GMRS units that do not have subcodes, switch your unit to the same channel with the subcode set to oF. The CTCSS subcodes do not prevent others from hearing your transmission. This will only allow you to ignore all traffic on a given channel not using the same subcode. 12 128-6675 12 of 24 Transmit Power Selection Mode (GMRS Channels Only) This feature permits selection of the transmitting power level to high or low when using channels 1-7 and 15-22. Using low power, the unit will have a lower transmit range, but battery life will be increased. NOTE: You will find that for the majority of your needs, the low-power setting will provide adequate communications on all channels; there should seldom be any need to use high power, except in situations where you need absolute maximum range. We suggest you experiment with switching between low and high power. To access the transmitter power selection function: - From GMRS standby mode, press the MODE Button 3 times until the Po indication appears flashing on the display with a steady Hi or Lo indication. - Press the Up or Down button to toggle between the High and Low selections. [. . . ] · Do not use this device or change its batteries in potentially explosive atmospheres as sparks in such areas could result in an explosion. · Turn your transceiver off wherever posted notices restrict the use of radios or cellular telephones. Facilities such as hospitals may use equipment that is sensitive to RF energy. · Turn your transceiver off on board aircraft when requested to do so. [. . . ]
