INSTALL THE BATTERIES

Each radio uses 3 AAA batteries for
power. GMR2035-2 uses non­rechargeable alkaline batteries and
GMR2050-2C uses rechargeable NiMH
batteries. These batteries are supplied
with your radio.

To install the batteries:

1. Make sure your radio is OFF.

2. Remove the battery compartment
door by pressing on the latch and
removing the cover.

3. Install the supplied 3 AAA batteries
into the battery compartment. Be
certain to follow the + and – symbols
in the compartment. Installing the
batteries incorrectly will prevent the
unit from operating.

4. Replace the battery compartment

door by sliding the door into place.

5. Repeat for each radio.

Note: Do not mix rechargeable and

Alkaline batteries

CHARGING THE RADIO

GMR2050-2C only

1. Plug one branch of the microSD
Y-Cable into each radio's microSD
charge port.

2. Insert the other end (USB) into a USB
power source (computer, phone
charger, etc - not included).

Notes:

• Install the batteries before charging.
Charge time may vary depending on the
battery life remaining. For fastest
charging, turn off the radio before
charging. (GMR2050-2C only).

• Do not attempt to recharge alkaline
batteries. Doing so can create a safety
hazard or damage the radio.

• If battery power is low, you cannot
operate the radio even using external
power. If you try to transmit while power
is low, the radio will automatically turn
off. Recharge the batteries.

Dry the battery compartment with a soft cloth to
minimize potential water damage. Leave the
battery compartment cover off overnight to
ensure complete drying. Do not use the radio
until the unit is completely dry.

Your radio might cause TV or radio interference
even when it is operating properly. To determine
whether your radio is causing the interference,
turn it off. If the interference goes away, your
radio is causing it. Try to eliminate the
interference by moving your radio away from the
receiver. If you cannot eliminate the interference,
the FCC requires that you stop using the radio.

Hazardous Environments: Do not operate the
radio in hazardous environments. Explosion or
fire may result. Do not operate the radio near
unshielded electrical blasting caps.

Under certain conditions, radios can interfere
with blasting operations and may cause an
explosion. Turn your radio OFF to prevent
accidental transmission when in a blasting area
or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio."
Construction crews often use remote control RF
devices to set off explosives.

FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION

WARNING! Read this information before using

the radio.

In August 1996 the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the United States with its
action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted
an updated safety standard for human exposure
to radio frequency electromagnetic energy
emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety
standard previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies. The design of the
radio complies with the FCC guidelines and
these international standards. Never allow
children to operate the radio without adult
supervision and the knowledge of the following
guidelines.

WARNING! It is up to the user to properly
operate this radio transmitter to insure safe
operation. Please adhere to the following: Use
only the supplied or an approved antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could impair call quality, damage
the radio, or result in violation of FCC
regulations.

Do not use the radio with a damaged antenna.
If a damaged antenna comes into contact with
the skin, a minor burn may result. Please
contact your local dealer for a replacement
antenna.

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical body-worn
operations using the supplied belt-clip. To
maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
requirements, Body-worn operations are
restricted to the supplied belt-clip. For hand­held operation, the radio should be held 1 inch
from the user's face. The use of accessories
that do not satisfy these requirements may not
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements
and should be avoided. For more information
about RF exposure, please visit the FCC web
site at: www.fcc.gov.

For body worn operation, this device has been
tested and meets the Industry Canada RF
exposure guidelines when used with Uniden
accessories supplied or designated for this
product. Use of other accessories may not
ensure compliance with Industry Canada RF
exposure guidelines.
