NOTES FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION
1 . The GMRS-1500XTM 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 se-
lected.
2. The GMRS-1500XTM 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 (17) and speak slowly in a normal voice.
