CAUTION SAFETY INFORMATION Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. When the PTT button is pushed (or the VOX mode is enabled) it sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. The device 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.
WARNINGS: Battery Care Never attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries, as batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage to the product. If rechargeable batteries are used, such as Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH), use only Audiovoxapproved rechargeable batteries. Use of the optional Audiovox charger with other brands of batteries is not recommended, as battery charging times will vary with different brands. Refer to the Manufacturer’s instructions for charging other brands of batteries.

(purchased separately) when charging batteries internal to the unit. NOTE: To extend battery life, avoid overcharging the batteries 3. Various Brands of Rechargeable Batteries - Use of the optional Audiovox charger with other brands of rechargeable batteries is not recommended, as battery charging times will vary with different brands of batteries. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for charging other brands of batteries.
The following guidelines will improve performance and provide longer operating times for the GMRS1202: 1. Do not mix old and new batteries. 2. The use of alkaline-type batteries is recommended to provide the longest operating time. 3. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable batteries. 4. If the unit is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries. Old or leaking batteries can cause damage to the unit and will void the warranty.

mode; the VOX icon will appear in the bottom right corner of the display when enabled. Operating Modes and Features GMRS Operation: - From GMRS/FRS standby mode, press and hold the ( ) button for 2 seconds to turn on power. - Press the MODE button so the Channel number flashes. - Select the desired channel with the Up (10) and Down (11) Buttons. When receiving a call, the BUSY icon appears to indicate the incoming signal.
Before transmitting on the selected channel, press the Monitor (M) Button (2) to check the activity on that channel. If there is activity on the selected channel, change to another channel that is clear. To change the channel: - From GMRS/FRS standby mode, press the MODE button (12) once or until the channel number flashes. - Press the Up Button (10) briefly to move to the next higher main channel number. - Press the Down Button (11) briefly to move to the next lower main channel number.
The CTCSS subcodes do not prevent others from hearing your transmission. This will only allow you to ignore all traffic on a given channel not using the same subcode. Transmit Power Selection Mode This feature permits selection of the transmitting power level to high or low. When operating on FRS only channels (8-15), no power selection is possible or is displayed. Using low power, the unit will have a lower transmit range, but battery life will be increased.
dual watch channel. Received signals will be played for 5 seconds, then the unit will resume scanning the two channels. Pressing the PTT button during a received transmission will set the unit to transmit on the same channel. Pressing the PTT button when no signal is received will set the unit to transmit on the primary channel. To set the Dual Watch Mode: - From GMRS/FRS standby mode, press the MODE button 5 times (4 times for FRS); DW appears flashing on the display.
- Press the PTT button momentarily to confirm selection. When the key tone feature is on, the Bell icon appears steady on the display, and the beep tones sound in response to button activation. Roger Beep Tone The Roger Beep is a tone which is automatically transmitted whenever the PTT button is released. This tone alerts the receiving party that the transmission has been terminated intentionally.
NOTE: While the scan function is active, the MODE button will be inoperative. The scan mode will reduce the overall battery life since the battery save function is overridden. To enable the channel scan mode: - From GMRS/FRS standby mode, momentarily press the SCAN But ton; (SCAN) will appear on the LCD display. - The radio will display each channel (1-22) in ascending order as the scan mode operates to find an active main channel.
VOX Enable Operation This option enables you to have hands-free conversation. Your voice or nearby sound is detected and the radio transmits without the need to press the PTT button. To enable VOX operation: - From GMRS/FRS standby mode, press the SCAN button for 3 seconds or until the VOX icon appears steady on the display. - Press the PTT button momentarily to confirm VOX enable mode. - To disable the VOX mode, press the SCAN button for 3 seconds or until the VOX icon disappears from the display.
- Momentarily press the MODE button again to access the weather alert function; the weather icon ( ) and AL on or oF appear flashing on the display. - Use the Up or Down buttons to enable (on)/disable (oF) the alert function. The weather icon will stop blinking on the display in the GMRS mode when the alert is disabled. - Press the PTT Button to confirm your selection. - Press and hold the MODE button for at least 2 seconds to exit the weather function.
Warning • Do not operate the transceiver unless you are licensed to do so. • Remove the batteries from the transceiver if it is not expected to be used for long periods. This will eliminate the possibility of chemicals leaking from the batteries and corroding the transceiver. • Avoid exposing the transceiver to water or extremes of temperature. • Do not use this device in or near a mining facility, which uses remotely triggered explosives or in areas labeled “Blasting Area”.
Troubleshooting Problem Possible cause Correction No transmission while pressing the PTT Button Weak batteries Incorrect battery polarity Charge or replace batteries Install the batteries following the directions in paragraph Installing the Batteries.
