CAUTION
SAFETY INFORMATION
Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver contains a low power
transmitter. When the PTT button is pushed (or the VOX mode is enabled)
it sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. The device is authorized to operate
at a duty factor not to exceed 50%. In August 1996, the Federal
Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines
with safety levels for hand-held wireless devices.
Important: To maintain compliance with the FCC' s RF exposure guidelines
hold the transmitter at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your
face and speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up
and away. If you wear the handset on your body while using the
headset accessory, use only the Audiovox supplied carry clip
for this product and ensure that the antenna is at least 1 inch
(2.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting. Use only
the supplied antenna. Do not use your transceiver with a
damaged antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the transmitter and may violate
FCC regulations.
Performance:
Your transceiver will only achieve its maximum operating range when
communicating with other transceivers across open and flat areas or
between elevated points. Normally occurring environmental factors such
as buildings, trees, terrain and weather, or interference from other radio or
electrical equipment, may have adverse effects on the transceiver's effective
range. These are not indicative of a fault condition.
Avoid placing the GMRS672 radio transceiver for prolonged periods
of time in direct sunlight or temperatures below -4 F (-20 C) or above
128-8033 140 F (60 C).

Powering the transceiver:
Your GMRS672 radio transceiver operates on three AAA Alkaline batteries.
Alkaline batteries will provide slightly better performance than rechargeable
batteries. Only Audiovox approved rechargeable batteries should be
recharged in the radio transceiver using the charging accessories. This
will ensure optimum performance for the GMRS672. Battery charging
time is typically 16-20 hours for full charge.
Installing the batteries:
Press down with the thumb at the embossed arrow, slide the battery cover
down and lift it away from the compartment. Insert three AAA batteries
(alternate positive ends (+) toward the top of the transceiver, starting left-to-
right).
