NOTES FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION

1 . The FRS-1000 14 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 FRS-1000 has been designed to maximize performance and
improve transmission range to field units. To avoid interference, it is

18

recommended that you do not use base and field units closer than
5 feet apart.

3. For best transmission results, always keep your mouth about 2­3 inches from the microphone (11) and speak slowly in a normal
voice.
