LCD panel, install fresh batteries. NOTES FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION 1 . The 22 channels of the GMRS121-2 are shared on a ‘take turns’ basis. This means other groups may be talking on any of the chan- nels. 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 14 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.
