Channel Selection

In order to communicate with other GMRS units, both transmitting and
receiving party must be on the same frequency. The GMRS7001-2CH has
22 channels (frequencies) indicated by the large digits on the LCD dis­play panel. Channels 1 through 7 are the shared GMRS/FRS chan­nels. Channels 8-14 are FRS only channels, while channels 15-22 are
assigned GMRS only channels. If an FRS only channel (8-14) has
been selected, the HI or LO indicator will not be displayed on the LCD
panel; otherwise, for channels 1-7 (GMRS/FRS) and 15-22 (GMRS
only), the HI or LO indicator will be displayed. Communication with
Audiovox FRS and compatible units is possible on the shared and FRS
only channels. 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:

CTCSS Mode (Sub-Channel) Selection

The Coded Tone Controlled Squelch System (CTCSS) provides 38 Sub-Fre­quencies. This feature allows you to utilize the coded squelch tones (01–

38) within a main channel, and enables you to communicate with another
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.

for use (01-38).

- Press the PTT button momentarily to confirm selection.

The CTCSS mode can be turned off by selecting the oF icon as the setting.
NOTE: To communicate with other GMRS/FRS units, they must be

switched to the same channel and CTCSS subcode. To commu­nicate with other GMRS/FRS units that do not have subcodes,
switch your unit to the same channel with the subcode set to oF.

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

NOTES FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION

1 . The GMRS7001-2CH 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 GMRS7001-2CH has been designed to maximize performance
and improve transmission range in the field. To avoid interference,
it is recommended that you do not use the units closer than 5 feet
apart.

3. For best transmission results, always keep your mouth about 2-3
inches from the microphone (9) and speak slowly in a normal voice.

4. To increase battery life, avoid features such as Scan and Dual
Watch. These features will reduce operating time considerably.

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”. Premature or
accidental detonation may result.

Do not attempt to modify or in any way increase the output of this

•

transceiver. Its output is designed to meet the legal limits set by the FCC.
Do not use this device or change its batteries in potentially explosive

•

atmospheres as sparks in such areas could result in an explosion.
Turn your transceiver off wherever posted notices restrict the use of radios

•

or cellular telephones. Facilities such as hospitals may use equipment
that is sensitive to RF energy.

18

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 de-

•

ploys, it could propel the transceiver like a projectile causing bodily injury.
