FCC License required This Transceiver is intended for use in the operation of commercial activities. The Federal Communications commission (FCC) requires you to be licensed before you operate this transceiver.
involve the safety of life or property. ! You must take reasonable precautions to prevent harmful interference to other services operating on the same frequency. ! You must not transmit connection with commercial broadcasting.
Safety Information Your radio contains a low power transmitter. When the PTT button is pushed it sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the FCC adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless devices. Cautions: • To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines, hold the entire radio, including the antenna, at least 2 inches (5 cm) from your face, with the antenna pointed up and away from your face.

Icon disappears when the function is off. This work with small segment display. Coded Tone Controlled Squelch System(CTC) Indicator: Icon appears when the CTCSS tone function is active.
3-3. SETTING AND OPERATION In order to communicate with other GMRS/FRS units, both you and the receiving party must be on the same channel. GMRS-1200 has 15channels indicated by the large digits on the LCD display panel. Before trying to transmit on the selected channel, you should press the Monitor Button to check the activity on that channel.
( Ex : noisy road, motor bike, factory etc. ) To Set the VOX mode * Press the MODE button until the [Uo oF Or XX] appears. XX is a vox level * VOX icon will be appeared on the LCD. To Set the VOX level * Press the up[″]or down[…] button to set the VOX level from 1 to 5. “ oF” is disable the VOX function. “ 01” is least sensitive. “ 05” is most sensitive. * Press the PTT button or MODE button to confirm.
To set the Out of Range * Press the Mode button until [ir on or oF] and the Out of Range icon blink on the LCD. * Press the up[″]or down[…] button. * Press the PTT button or MODE button to confirm. 8) Setting ID code To set the Caller ID ! Press the MODE button until the ID Icon and small segment display blinks. ! Then press the Up or Down button to select the desired ID number from 01 to 10. “ oF” means no ID mode. ! Press the PTT button or Mode button momentarily to confirm the ID number.
* if there are no more receiving signal for 5 seconds, the unit will go into power save mode. 12) Receiving The Coding feature reduces the possibility of interference and provide enhanced Communication. You can only listen to a call that has correct matching code. ** Upon receiving a signal, the LED lights green. When radio is on CTCSS mode and then a signal that has different CTCSS code on the same channel is received, the LED blinks in green.
The lock function is to avoid the accidental changes to channel with other radio settings. All buttons will be locked except the Power, PTT, Monitor, Charger and Volume UP/Down. To lock the keypad * Press and hold the “ SCAN” button for over two seconds. * Keypad will lock. (LOCK icon will appear on the LCD) To disable the monitor feature * Press and hold the “ SCAN” button for over two seconds. * Keypad will unlock.
