Out of Range Indication
The GMRS-1200CH provides an Out-of-Range indication when reception
is no longer intelligible or too weak to be discernible. When this condition
occurs, the OUT OF RANGE message and icon appears on the display,
reminding you that you are outside the 5-mile range of the unit, or that
signal reception is being obstructed by native or man-made objects.
Battery Alert
When the battery icon ( ) blinks on the LCD panel, recharge unit or
install fresh batteries. If the batteries are not replaced the ( ) icon will
appear and an audio tone will sound to warn the user that the batteries
must be replaced.
NOTES FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION
1 . The GMRS-1200CH 15 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 GMRS-1200CH 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 and Dual
Watch. These features will reduce operating time considerably.
