However, do not mix NiMH and alkaline batteries in the same radio.
Review the following tips before charging your radios:
Do not attempt to recharge alkaline batteries. Doing so can create a safety hazard or damage the radio.
GMR3050-2C charges through a microUSB Y-branch cable (provided) with an AC adapter end that plugs into an AC power source.
Your radio has a headphone jack to support earphones/earbuds (not included). Using the earbuds lets you have more private communications. To use headphones/earbuds, lift the rubber cover from the headset jack, then plug in the headphones/earbuds.
Your radio is not weather resistant when using the headset jack. When you remove the headphones/earbuds, be sure to fully press the cover into place to restore the radio's weather resistant capability.
Press MENU / to access the three menu options:
Each menu option is discussed later in the manual with the feature that uses it.
Your radio has 22 channels you can use to talk to others. In order to speak to someone, each of you must be set to the same channel and privacy code.
Each of the channels 1-22 may have any one of the privacy codes, 0 (OFF), or 1-121 selected. Code oF (OFF) indicates no privacy code selected and your radio can receive a signal regardless of the code settings of the transmitting radio.
To choose a privacy code:
To choose a channel:
You can only manually cycle through channels when the channel numbers are flashing.
Insert headphones into the radio BEFORE turning on the radio.
Your radio is equipped with a user selectable Voice Operated Transmitter (VOX) that can be used for automatic voice transmissions. The VOX feature is designed to be used with or without a headset with a microphone.
Transmission is initiated by speaking into the microphone instead of pressing PTT.
To select a VOX level:
Your radio has a channel scan feature that allows you to easily scan all 22 channels. When an active channel is detected, the unit pauses on that channel until the channel is clear. Then, after a 2 second delay, the radio continues scanning. Press CH/LOCK to resume scanning while the radio is stopped on an active channel.
When it stops on an active channel, press the PTT button to transmit on that channel.
Press CH/LOCK then hold ▼ or ▲ for 3 seconds. The radio will repeatedly cycle through all 22 channels. To reverse scan direction, press the other directional icon. Press MENU/ or CALL/MON to stop scanning.
Silent mode turns off all key beeps when it is turned on. It does NOT mute call or voice signals received.
Change Silent mode status (OFF or ON) by first turning OFF the radio.
When the radio stops on a channel that is transmitting, you can talk to others on that channel:
Your radio is equipped with a call tone that will be transmitted when the CALL/MON key is pressed. You can select from 10 call tones.
To transmit the call tone, press the CALL/MON key.
The radio is equipped with an automatic squelch system which shuts off weak transmissions and unwanted noise due to terrain conditions or range limitations.
Your radio allows you to listen for weak signals on the current channel at the press of a key.
To turn ON Monitor Mode:
Press and hold CALL/MON for 2 seconds. On a channel that does not have activity, you will hear only an open-squelch hissing noise and rx displays.
To turn OFF Monitor Mode:
Press the CALL/MON key for 2 seconds again. rx does not display.
Press and hold to turn on the LCD backlight. The screen stays illuminated for 10 seconds before the backlight turns off.
