Both radios must be tuned to the
same channel to communicate.

GMRS. Channels 8 through 14 are FRS only.
Channels 15 through 22 are GMRS only.
See page 21 for FRS/GMRS frequency
allocations and compatibility charts.

The other person will hear a two second

Selectable High•Low Power Output
When in close proximity to another party or
during favorable conditions, you can switch
from High to Low Power to extend battery life.
This feature applies to GMRS Channels
1 through 7 and 15 through 22 only.
Channels 8 through 14 operate
exclusively on low power.
To toggle between high and low power:
Press the Enter/Hi•Low button for
two seconds.
When using Channels 1 through 7 and
15 through 22 on high power, the Hi icon
will be visible on the display.
When using those channels on low power
and on Channels 8 through 14, the Low icon
will be visible on the display.
To Illuminate Display
Press and release the Light/Max Range button to
illuminate the display for 10 seconds.
Auto Squelch/Maximum Range
Your microTALK radio is equipped with Auto Squelch, which
automatically shuts off weak transmissions and unwanted noise
due to terrain and conditions. This slightly reduces the Maximum
Range at which signals can be heard.
You can turn off auto squelch to allow all signals to be
received and extend the maximum range of your radio.
