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-7000 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.
codes, switch your unit to the same channel with the sub-code setting to OFF. 3) VOX (Voice Operated Switching) This option enables you to have hands-free conversation. You do not have to operate the PTT button each time when you want to transmit. You can also choose the VOX sensitivity suit your environment of operation. ( Ex : noisy road, motor bike, factory etc. ) To Set the VOX mode l Press the MODE button until the [Uo oF or XX] appears. XX is a vox level l VOX icon will be appeared on the LCD.
l Press the Up or Down button to toggle between the Hi or Lo selections. l Press the PTT button momentarily to confirm selection. 6)Roger tone This feature will give the tone signal to other parties when transmitting is finished (when PTT button is released.)
