NOTES FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION
1 . The GMRS1100-2CH 22 channels 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 GMRS1100-2CH 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 (12) 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.
