CAUTION

POWER SETTING (Refer to Page 12.)

Your GMRS-7000 can operate at two power levels: High (2W) and Low

(0.5W). You will find that for the majority of your needs, the low-power

setting will provide adequate communications and there should seldom

be any need to use high power, except in situations where you need

absolute maximum range. Using low power will greatly extend battery

life. We suggest you experiment with switching between low and high

power. However, we do recommend that you

not change

this setting

unless it proves to be necessary in your particular situation.
