Operation
Your FRS /GMRS unit has a range of up to 2 miles.
This range can be decreased by certain
atmospheric and environmental conditions at the
time of your conversation.
Some conditions that affect range are:
• Buildings
• Dense trees or foliage
• Hilly or mountainous terrain
The best range will be in flat, open terrain, without
obstructions. Using the MON (monitor) button to
override the automatic squelch will help extend the
range to the maximum limits.
Your range is also dependent on the battery
condition of the radio, the type of terrain where
you are located, and the strength of the signal
from the transmitting radio.
Calling (Paging) Another Radio

• Make sure both units are on.

• Pressing the TALK button and speaking
into the radio.

a 2 second call (page) tone on your radio.
