FCC GMRS LICENSE
The radio operates on the General Mobile
Radio Service (GMRS) frequencies which
require a Federal Communications
Commission license to operate. For licens-
ing information and application forms, visit
the FCC on-line at:www.fcc.gov/wtb/uls or

INSTALL THE BATTERIES
Your radio uses 3 AAA alkaline batteries for
power. We recommend using high quality
alkaline batteries.
To install the batteries:
1) Make sure your radio is OFF.
2) Remove the battery compartment door by
pressing on and sliding the compartment
door, and remove the cover.
3) Install 3 AAA Alkaline batteries into the
battery compartment. Be certain to follow
the + and – symbols in the compartment.
Installing the batteries incorrectly will
prevent the unit from operating.
4) Replace the battery compartment door by
sliding the door into place.
USING THE RADIO
In order to get the most out of your new radio, read
this reference guide completely before attempting to
operate the radio.
Turning the Radio On and Adjusting the Volume
1) Press and hold the key to turn the radio ON.
2) To change the volume level press the vol/mon
▲or ▼key to increase or decrease the volume
level.
3) Press and hold the key to turn the radio
OFF.
Adjusting the Sound (Key Beeps)
Your radio emits a beep each time one of the keys
(except for the PTT button and call/lock key) is
pressed. The sound of the Key Beep will increase or
decrease depending on the volume level setting.
To turn OFF this beep:
Press and hold the call/lock key while turning ON
the radio.
To turn ON this beep:
Turn the radio OFF and ON again without pressing
the call/lock key.
Choosing a Channel
Your radio has 22 channels you can use to talk to
others. In order to speak to someone, each of you
must be set to the same channel.
To choose a channel:
Press the ch/scan ▲or ▼key to increase or
decrease the channel number displayed.
Channel Scan Feature
Your radio has a channel scan feature that allows
you to easily scan all 22 channels. When an active
channel is detected, the unit pauses on that channel
until the channel is clear. Then after a 2 second
delay, the radio continues scanning. Pressing PTT
button while the scan is paused on a channel will
allow you to transmit on that channel.
To turn ON channel scan:
Press and hold either the ch/scan ▲or ▼key for
3 seconds. The channel number on the display will
rapidly cycle through the channels.
To turn OFF channel scanning:
Press either the ch/scan ▲or ▼key.
Talking on Your Radio
To talk to others using the radio:
1) Press and hold the PTT button and speak in a
clear, normal voice about 2-3 inches away from
the microphone. While you are transmitting, the
tx icon is displayed. To avoid cutting off the first
part of your transmission, pause slightly after
pressing the PTT button before you start talking.
2) When you are finished speaking, release the
PTT button. You can now receive incoming calls.
While receiving, the rx icon is displayed.
Transmitting a Call Alert Tone
Your radio is equipped with a call tone that will be
transmitted when the call/lock key is pressed.
To transmit the call tone, tap the call/lock key. The
tone will be transmitted.
Auto Squelch Feature
The radio is equipped with an automatic squelch
system which shuts off weak transmissions and
unwanted noise due to terrain conditions or if you
have reached your range limit.
Monitor Mode Feature
Your radio allows you to listen for weak signals
on the current channel at the press of a key.
To turn ON monitor mode:
Press and hold the vol/mon ▲or ▼key.
The rx icon will blink.
To turn OFF monitor mode:
Press the vol/mon ▲or ▼key. The rx icon will
stop blinking and disappears.
Automatic Power Save Feature
Your radio has a unique circuit designed to
dramatically extend the life of the batteries. If there is
neither a transmission nor an incoming call within 2
seconds, your radio switches to the Power Save mode.
The radio is still able to receive transmissions in this
mode.
KEYLOCK ON/OFF
Press and hold the call/lock key until the "L"
appears. After 1 second, the LCD will return to the
channel display.
To exit Keylock on mode, press and hold call/lock
again.
Note: While in keylock on mode, it will still receive
transmissions.

GMR1635-2

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.
(2) This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Important: Changes or modifications to this unit
not expressly approved by Uniden could void your
authority to operate this unit. Your radio is set up
to transmit a regulated signal on an assigned
frequency. It is against the law to alter or adjust the
settings inside the radio to exceed those limitations.
Any adjustments to your radio must be made by
qualified technicians.
To be safe and sure:
• Never open your radio’s case.
• Never change or replace anything in your radio
except the batteries.
Your radio might cause TV or radio interference
even when it is operating properly. To determine
whether your radio is causing the interference, turn
it off. If the interference goes away, your radio is
causing it. Try to eliminate the interference by
moving your radio away from the receiver. If you
cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires
that you stop using the radio.
Hazardous Environments: Do not operate the
radio in hazardous environments. Explosion or fire
may result. Do not operate the radio near
unshielded electrical blasting caps.
Under certain conditions, radios can interfere with
blasting operations and may cause an explosion.
Turn your radio OFF to prevent accidental
transmission when in a blasting area or in areas
posted: "Turn off two-way radio." Construction
crews often use remote control RF devices to set
off explosives.
Care and Safety: To clean the radio, use a soft
cloth dampened with water. Do not use cleaners or
solvents because they can harm the body of the
unit and leak inside, causing permanent damage.
Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the battery
contacts. Do not submerge the unit in water. 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 the bat-
tery compartment cover off overnight to ensure
complete drying. Do not use the radio until the unit
is completely dry.
Important: Evidence of original purchase is
required for warranty service.

THREE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTYFCC INFORMATION
WARNING! Read this information before using
the radio
In August 1996 the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the United States with its
action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an
updated safety standard for human exposure to
radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by
FCC regulated transmitters.
Those guidelines are consistent with the safety
standard previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies. The design of the
radio complies with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.
Never allow children to operate the radio without
adult supervision and the knowledge of the
following guidelines.
WARNING! It is up to the user to properly operate
this radio transmitter to insure safe operation.
Please adhere to the following:
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could impair call quality, damage the
radio, or result in violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the radio with a damaged antenna. If a
damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin,
a minor burn may result. Please contact your local
dealer for a replacement antenna.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn
operations using the supplied belt-clip.
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
requirements, Body-worn operations are restricted
to the supplied belt-clip.
For hand-held operation, the radio should be held
1 inch from the user's face. The use of accessories
that do not satisfy these requirements may not
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements and
should be avoided.
For more information about RF exposure, please
visit the FCC web site at www.fcc.gov.
