For User

Do not charge the radio or battery in an explosive environment, such as gas, dust,smoke area etc.Please turn off the radio when nearby gas station. Do not disassemble or modify the radio.do not leave the reaio under dusty or wet environment.It’s very important for users to understand all instruction knowledge before using the radio,please obey the local legal rules.

Warnins:
The Radio is pre-configured with 8 GMRS repeater channels: 467.5500, 467.5750,467.6000, 467.6250, 467.6500, 467.6750, 467.7000, and 467.7250 MHz.
device that is used to increase the range of two way radios.Repeaters will receive a transmission on one frequency and simultaneously rebroadcast that transmission on a different frequency. Repeaters are often set up in a fixed location and connected to an antenna that is mounted at a higher elevation to provide better range than is normally available with radio-to-radio (simplex) communications.

Using GMRS repeaters can significantly increase the range of your radio, but just tuning to one of the repeater channels isn’t necessarily going to work. You first have to be sure there is a repeater listening on that channel’s frequency, and you have to be within range of that repeater.

In basic terms, a repeater is a It is important to keep in mind that a GMRS repeater is not necessarily intended for public use.

They are owned by individuals and are sometimes intended for private use or require permission to use.

Before connecting to a GMRS repeater, be sure that you have permission or that the owner is fine

with public use. The description on the myGMRS website usually indicates if permission is required and provides a way to get in touch with the owner.

——– § 95.1743 Minor GMRS operators.

Operators under the age of 18 will not be held personally responsible, pursuant to § 95.343, for improper operation of a GMRS repeater or base station. The holder of the individual license under which the minor operates is solely responsible for any improper operation that occurs while an individual under the age of 18 is operating the station.

For Antenna:

Accord to that antenna length in different regions, only below type antenna was authorized use in the product.

Antenna Model: TQC-BG-5.0-465V
Antenna Type: Whip steel antenna
Antenna Gain: 0dBi
