Page 15: Channel Selection
In order to communicate with other FRS units, both transmitting and re- ceiving party must be on the same frequency.

Page 22: Notes For Good Communication
NOTES FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION 1. The GMRS-3000PK 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. - Page 23 2. The FRS-3000PK 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 (12, *15) and speak slowly in a normal voice.
