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.

Important: T o maintain compliance with the FCC’ s RF exposure guidelines

hold the transmitter at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your face and speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away. If you wear the handset on your body while using the headset accessory, use only the Audiovox supplied carry clip for this product and ensure that the antenna is at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting. Use only the supplied antenna. Do not use your transceiver with a damaged antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the transmitter and may violate FCC regulations.

Performance:

Your transceiver will only achieve its maximum operating range when communicating with other transceivers across open and flat areas or between elevated points. Normally occurring environmental factors such as buildings, trees, terrain and weather, or interference from other radio or electrical equipment, may have adverse effects on the transceiver’s effective range. These are not indicative of a fault condition.

Avoid placing the GMRS6000-2PK radio transceiver for prolonged periods of time in direct sunlight or temperatures below -4 140

°F (60°C).

Place the rubber cover on jacks when not in use.

°F(-20°C) or above

Powering the transceiver:

Your GMRS6000-2PK radio transceiver operates on four AAA Alkaline batteries. Alkaline batteries will provide slightly better performance than rechargeable batteries (purchased separately). Only Audiovox approved rechargeable batteries should be recharged in the radio transceiver using the supplied charging accessories. This will ensure optimum performance for the GMRS6000-2PK. Battery charging time is typically 16 - 20 hours. Use of the Audiovox charging equipment with other brands of rechargeable batteries is not recommended as battery charging times will vary. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for charging other brands of batteries.

Batteries

There are three methods of powering the GMRS6000-2PK:

1. Alkaline Batteries. WARNING: Do not attempt to recharge Alkaline batteries.

2.Audiovox Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries - (Rechargeable NiMH batteries and Charging Adapter included). Use only Audiovox approved rechargeable batteries and charging equipment 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 Audiovox charger(s) 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.

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 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. Insert four AAA batteries (alternate positive ends (+) toward the top of the transceiver, starting left-to-right.

The following guidelines will improve performance and provide longer operating times for the GMRS6000-2PK:

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.
