NOTES FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION

1 . The 15 channels of the GMR-GPS 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 GMR-GPS 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

time. Features such as this will reduce operating time considerably.
