NOTE: To communicate with other FRS or GMRS units, they must be switched to the same channel and CTCSS subcode. To commu- nicate with other FRS units that do not have subcodes, switch your unit to the same channel with the subcode set to 00. The CTCSS subcodes do not prevent others from hearing your transmission. - Page 16 To set the Dual Watch Mode: - From the GMRS standby mode, press the MODE button 3 times; the DW icon flashes on the display, together with the channel number currently selected. - To enable the dual watch mode, press the Up or Down button; the dual watch channel number will flash and start to increment up or down as the Up or Down button is pressed.

NOTES FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION 1 . The GMRS-2000 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. -
