CAUTIONS

Never attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries, as batteries may burst causing

personal injury and damage to the product. When recharging nickel metal hydride

(NiMH) batteries with the Audiovox charger, use only Audiovox approved re-

chargeable batteries. The Audiovox rechargeable batteries were designed to provide

optimum operation for your radio in various environmental conditions. Use of the

Audiovox charger with other brands of batteries is not recommended, as battery

charging times will vary with different brands. Refer to the manufacturer’s instruc-

tions for charging other brands of batteries. Avoid placing the GMRS2VMK radio

transceiver for prolonged periods of time in direct sunlight or temperatures below -

4° F (-20° C) or above 140 ° F (60° C).

Keep the antenna at 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from your head and body. Do not use

your GMRS2VMK radio transceiver with a damaged antenna.

Place the rubber cover on jacks when not in use.

Check the laws and regulations on the use of radio products in the area

where you drive. Always obey them.

When using the radio product while driving, please:

• Give full attention to driving and to the road.

• Pull off the road and park before transmitting or receiving a call if

driving conditions so require.

GMRS license:

Use of this radio within the United States requires an FCC GMRS license. An

individual 18 years of age or older, who is not a representative of a foreign

government, is eligible to apply for a GMRS system license. You will need two

forms from the FCC; FCC Form 159 and FCC Form 605 Main Form and

Schedule F. You can find the forms online at: http://www.fcc.gov/formpage.html,

or call 1-800-418-3676.

Your GMRS2VMK Radio is a portable, easy to use, two-way radio that you can carry

almost anywhere. The Fast Intelligent Charger can be mounted in a vehicle and

is designed for a vehicle environment. The GMRS2VMK is skillfully constructed to

give you reliable communications for many different applications. The GMRS2VMK

is ideal for use around the house, in your boat, on hunting and camping trips, on

the ski slopes or at the mall. The GMRS2VMK is comprised of the items below:

Your transceiver will achieve its maximum operating range when communi-

cating with other transceivers in a flat open area with no trees or buildings

obstructing its signal. Range may be up to five miles under such conditions.

Obstacles such as buildings, trees or mountains will tend to reduce the

transceiver’s effective range. The transceiver is designed to operate using

the Audiovox supplied four AAA rechargeable NiMH batteries.
