VOX Selection Mode
This option enables you to have hands-free conversation.
Your voice or nearby sound is detected and the radio transmits
without the need to press the PTT button.
To set radio for VOX operation,
-From GMRS/FRS standby mode, press and hold the MODE button
until the VOX icon appears on the display.
VOX can be turned off by pressing the MODE button for 3 seconds.
Channel Scan Operation
This feature allows you to monitor all channels automatically
for valid signals. While scanning, you can transmit and receive.
When a signal is received, the scan is interrupted and will return
to scan mode 5 seconds after reception is terminated.
NOTE:
While the scan function is active,the MODE button will be inoperative.
The scan mode will reduce the overall battery life due
to the battery save function is overridden.
To enable the channel scan mode,
- From GMRS/FRS standby mode,momentarily press the power
Button; (SCAN) will appear on the LCD display.
- The radio will display each channel (1-22) in order as the scan
mode operates to find an active main channel.
- When unit doesn't find any signals and you want to transmit,
press the PTT switch to return to home channel operation.
The transceiver will automatically resume scanning approximately
5 seconds after the communication is completed.
- If there is no activity and you want to leave the scan mode,
press the power button momentarily and the unit will return to normal
operation; (SCAN) icon will disappear from the LCD display.
Key Tone
This feature allows the transceiver to sound a confirmation tone
whenever the following keys are pressed: Up/Down button,
MODE button, SCAN button. The key tone is always on.
Roger Beep Tone
The Roger Beep is a tone which is automatically transmitted
whenever the PTT button is released. This tone alerts the receiving
party that the transmission has been terminated intentionally.
To enable and disable the Roger Beep tone:
- From GMRS/FRS standby mode, press the Function Button until
the flashing Roger Beep icon appears with On or oF.
- Press the Up or Down Button to select the tone on or off as desired.
- When enabled, the tone icon (
) appears steady on the display.
- Press the PTT to confirm selection.
Battery Alert
When the battery icon (
) blinks on/off at 7 second intervals,
as shown on the LCD panel, recharge or install fresh batteries.
NOTES FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION
1.The GMRS120/120-2 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 GMRS120/120-2 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 (5) and speak slowly
in a normal voice.
4.To increase battery life, avoid features such as Scan.
These features will reduce operating time considerably.
Warning
• Do not operate the transceiver unless you are licensed to do so.
• Remove the batteries from the transceiver if it is not expected to
be used for long periods. This will eliminate the possibility of
chemicals leaking from the batteries and corroding the transceiver.
• Avoid exposing the transceiver to water or extremes of temperature.
• Do not use this device in or near a mining facility, which uses
remotely triggered explosives or in areas labeled "Blasting Area".
Premature or accidental detonation may result.
• Do not attempt to modify or in any way increase the output of this
transceiver. Its output is designed to meet the legal limits set
by the FCC.
• 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.
Do not place your radio in front of a vehicle's air-bag.
If the air-bag deploys, it could propel the transceiver like a
projectile causing bodily injury.
