PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The FRS/GMRS COMMUNICATOR is the newest generation in personal
two-way communications. The FRS/GRMS COMMUNICATOR operates
in a licensed-free radio band on the FRS channels 8 -14 (no FCC license
is needed for its operation), and on licensed FRS/GMRS channels 1 - 7,
and GMRS channels 15 - 22 ( see page 22 regarding licensing information).
The FRS/GMRS is a lightweight, compact two-way communication device
that can be used to communicate with family or friends at parks, shopping
malls, sporting events, concerts - any indoor or outdoor activity!
The FRS/GMRS is compatible with other brands utilizing the same
frequency band (operating in the frequency range from 462.5625MHz
The FRS/GMRS has 22-CHANNELS, featuring a multi-functional LCD
Screen (which displays the current channel and various status icons).
This unit may not ensure privacy of communication.

NOTE: Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as below deck on boats; fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals or

Batteries
Blasting Caps and Areas
Do not use any FRS/GMRS that has a damaged ANTENNA. If a damaged ANTENNA
comes in contact with the skin, a minor burn may result.
Turn your FRS/GMRS OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere,
unless it is a type especially qualified for such use (for example, Factory Mutual
Approved). Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in injury or

even death.
Do not place your FRS/GMRS in the area over an air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a FRS/GMRS is placed in the
air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the FRS/GMRS may be propelled
with great force and cause serious injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if
conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches exposed
terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and
become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly
when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.
Care and Safety
To clean the unit, wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water. Don't use
cleaners or solvents on the unit; they can harm the case and leak inside,
causing permanent damage. Battery contacts may be wiped with a dry, lint-
free cloth.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
The Relevant Guidelines and Standards Are:
For Portable Two-Way FRSGMRS/
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
To ensure optimal unit performance and to ensure that exposure to RF
energy is within the guidelines in the above standards, the following
operating procedures should be observed:
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI)
if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic
compatibility.
Turn your unit OFF in any facilities where posted notices instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to

If the unit gets wet, turn it OFF and remove the batteries immediately. Dry
the BATTERY COMPARTMENT with a soft cloth to minimize potential water
damage. Leave cover off the BATTERY COMPARTMENT overnight or until
completely dry. Do not use the unit until completely dry.
When transmitting with a FRS/GMRS, hold the FRS/GMRS in a vertical position with
its MICROPHONE 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0 cm) away from your mouth. Keep the
ANTENNA at least 2 inch (5 cm) from your head and body.
If you wear a FRS/GMRS on your body, ensure that the ANTENNA is at least
two inch (5 cm) from your body when transmitting.

FCC Notice
7
The FCC requires that you be advised of certain requirements involving the
use of this device. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in residential installation. This device uses and can generate
radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception (which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on), the user is encouraged to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This equipment generates or uses radio frequency energy.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved in writing may cause
harmful interference and void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
FCC WARNING:
FCC INFORMATION: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:(1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Privacy
of communications may not be ensured when using this equipment.
Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. When the
TALK button is pushed it sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. The devise 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.
Use only the supplied . Unauthorized ANTENNAS, modifications, or
attachments could damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.
ANTENNA
To maintain compliance with the FCC's RF exposure guidelines
hold the transmitter and ANTENNA at least 2 inch (5 cm) from your face and
speak in a normal voice, with the pointed up and away from the face. If
you wear the handset on your body while using the headset accessory, use
only the supplied BELT CLIP for this product and when transmitting, take it out
of the belt to ensure that the is at least 2 inch (5 cm) from your body.

SAFETY INFORMATION:
Carefully remove your FRS/GMRS from the Blister Pack. If there is any visible
damage, do not attempt to operate this FRS/GMRS. Return it to the place of
purchase.
Accessory Connection
The FRS/GMRS is designed to be used with accessories (Earphone,
Microphone, etc.).
The design of your FRS/GMRS, which generates radio frequency (RF) electro-
magnetic energy (EME), complies with the following national and international
standards and guidelines.
