Introduction

innovative features and outstanding speci cations and performance. The XRS Connect
speaker microphone with OLED display and front mounted speaker provides clear sound
and total control from the palm of your hand. XRS Connect are the first UHF radios with
an app to configure and control the radio. Visit gme.net.au/GETXRS for more
information.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING UHF CB RADIO
The use of the Citizen Band radio service is licensed in Australia by the Australian
Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) Radio communications (Citizens
Band Radio Station Class Licence and in New Zealand by the Ministry of Economic
Development New Zealand (MED)).
A General User Radio Licence for Citizens Band radio and operation is subject to
conditions contained in those licences.
The class licence for users and equipment operating in the CB/PRS 477 MHz band was
amended in 2011 to include 80 channels. This radio meets the 80 channel standard.
Further information and updates are available from the ACMA at www.acma.gov.au and
the MED, Radio Spectrum Management at: www.rsm.govt.nz
Emergency channels
The ACMA has allocated channels 5/35 for emergency use only. Channel 5 is the primary
Simplex Emergency Channel. Where a Channel 5 repeater is available, you should select
Duplex on CH 5.
NOTE: Channel 35 is the input channel for the Channel 5 repeater therefore Channel 35
should also not be used for anything other than emergency transmissions.

Telemetry Channels
ACMA regulations have allocated channels 22 and 23 for telemetry only applications
and have prohibited the transmission of speech on these channels. Consequently your
radio has a transmit-inhibit applied to channels 22 and 23. Currently transmissions on
channels 61, 62 and 63 are also inhibited and these channels are reserved for future use.
