[RF EXPOSURE STATEMENT : PDHGMRS200 / TTI TECH CO., LTD.] - CAUTION! - IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver contains a radio frequency transmitter. When the PTT button is pushed, the transmitter sends out RF signals. The device is authorized to operate at a transmit duty factor not exceeding 50% using Ni-Mh / alkaline “AAA” size batteries to comply with Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) RF exposure safety level guidelines for hand-held wireless devices.
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.

Installing the batteries: Battery installation is made more convenient when the carry clip is either rotated left or right to the horizontal position, or is removed. Simply rotate the clip in either direction to the horizontal position. Be careful not to use excessive force. To remove the clip, press down on the spring release tab and pull the clip straight out from the radio body. Next, press down with the thumb at the embossed arrow, slide the battery cover down and lift it away from the compartment.
The following guidelines will improve performance and provide longer operating times for the GMRS200: 1. Do not mix old and new batteries. 2. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable batteries. 3. 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. MIC/CHG/ SPK JACK GMRS200 NOTE: Only Audiovox approved rechargeable batteries (Ni-MH,800mA,1.

To switch between GMRS/FRS and Weather Band modes, press and hold the Mode button for 3 seconds. Refer to the appropriate section of this manual for detailed operating instructions for each mode.
Adjusting the Volume (11, 10) With the unit powered on, press the Up Channel/Volume button ( ) to increase volume and the Down Channel/Volume button ( ) to decrease volume. The display will indicate the current volume level between 1 and 7 by the small number in the icon ( UL 5 ). Monitor/Keylock Button (2) This button is used to check activity on the current frequency before transmitting.
Up Channel/Volume Button (10) In the standby mode, pressing this button will increase the listening volume. When in function edit mode this button will be used to adjust the unit’s settings. Down Channel/Volume Button (11) In the standby mode, pressing this button will decrease the listening volume. When in function edit mode this button will be used to adjust the unit’s settings. Mode Button (12) This button is used to select the various feature settings in the GMRS/FRS or Weather band modes.
- Release PTT Button (4) to receive. - Communication can only be accomplished when the channel and CTCSS tone frequency of at least two parties are the same. - The CTCSS small segment display will appear next to the main frequency channel on the display if the CTCSS tone frequency function is enabled. Channel Selection In order to communicate with other GMRS units, both transmitting and receiving party must be on the same frequency.
party on the same main channel using the same subcode. (This filters out unwanted transmissions without the same coded squelch tone). There are 38 CTCSS Sub-channels for each main channel. A different subcode may be selected for each of the 22 channels. To change the CTCSS Sub-channel: - From GMRS/FRS standby mode, press the MODE Button twice; a flashing oF or sub-channel number is displayed. If oF is displayed, press the Up or Down button to enable the CTCSS mode.
VOX and Sensitivity Level Selection This selection enables you to set the VOX function and its sensitivity level to compensate for ambient noise in your immediate area. A VOX sensitivity of 3 is the most sensitive, and should be used in a relatively quiet surrounding. A VOX sensitivity of 1 is the least sensitive and should be used in a noisy surrounding.
- Press the PTT button momentarily to confirm selection of the dual watch channel. The display will now alternate between the primary channel and the dual watch channel just selected. NOTE: Pressing the PTT button during dual watch mode will transmit on the primary channel and suspend dual watch operation for 20 seconds. Dual watch mode will then resume. - Momentarily press the SCAN button to exit the dual watch mode.
Call Ringer Selection Mode The transceiver provides 3 user-selectable call ringer melodies to alert you to an incoming call. To select your favorite call ringer melody: - From GMRS/FRS standby mode, press the MODE Button 8 times (7 times for FRS). CA will appear on the display, together with a flashing number between 01 and 03, and an appropriate call ring. - Press the Up or Down Button to preview and hear the 3 available call melodies. - Press the PTT button momentarily to confirm selection.
Auto Key Lock Selection Mode This feature prevents accidental channel change to the preferred settings of the unit. The Auto Key Lock function temporarily disables the MODE, Up/ Down and SCAN Buttons. To access the Auto Key Lock selection menu: - From GMRS/FRS standby mode, press the Monitor Button momentarily to enable the Auto Key lock function; the unit will beep once and the ) icon appears on the display. lock ( - The Power, PTT , and Monitor Buttons are not effected.
To change the channel: - 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. NOTE: When the weather band operation mode is entered the transceiver will bypass the squelch setting and open the channel. Weather Alert Mode The weather alert mode notifies the user of unusual weather situations when the radio is operating in the GMRS/FRS mode.
NOTES FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION 1 . The GMRS200 22 channels are shared on a ‘take turns’ basis. This means other groups may be talking on any of the channels. A common code of ethics/courtesy is to switch to another vacant channel and not to attempt to talk over someone who is already using the channel you first selected. 2. The GMRS200 has been designed to maximize performance and improve transmission range in the field.
• Turn your transceiver off on board aircraft when requested to do so. • Do not place your radio in front of a vehicle’s air-bag. If the air-bag deploys, it could propel the transceiver like a projectile causing bodily injury. 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.
