Choosing a Channel

Your radio has 22 channels and 38 CTCSS codes
you can use to talk to others. In order to speak to
someone, each of you must be set to the same
channel and CTCSS code.

To choose a channel:

With the radio in "Normal" operating mode press
the chan/scan or – key to increase or decrease
the channel number displayed.

Note: FRS Channels 8-14 have an expectancy
range of up to 2 miles. GMRS channels 1-7, 15-22
have an expectancy range of up to 5 miles and up
to 7 miles by pressing the Power boost key.

Choosing a CTCSS Code

Each of the channels 1-22 may have any one of
the codes, OFF or 1-38 selected. Code
indicates no CTCSS code selected and your radio
can receive a signal regardless of the code settings
of the transmitting radio.

1) Enter the Menu. The CTCSS code on the LCD

display will flash.

2) Press the chan/scan or – key to increase or

decrease the code number displayed. You can
also select

(off) at this stage.

3) Exit the Menu to return to “Normal” mode.

Talking on Your Radio

To talk to others using the radio:

1) Press and hold the PTT button and speak in a

clear, normal voice about 2-3 inches away from
the microphone. While you are transmitting, the

icon will appear on the display. To avoid 

cutting off the first part of your transmission,
pause slightly after pressing the PTT button
before you start talking.

2) When you are finished speaking, release the PTT

button. You can now receive incoming calls. While
receiving, the 

icon will appear on the display.

Note: When you press the Power boost key, boost
and tx icon appear on the display. The radio will
transmit Maximum Power when a GMRS channel is 
selected. After one minute past when the boost
transmission is established, the transmission stops
automatically, and you will hear a boost time out
error tone.

Voice Operated Transmission/Confirmation Tone

Your GMRS750 radio is equipped with a user 
selectable Voice Operated Transmitter (VOX) that
can be used for automatic voice transmissions. The
VOX feature is designed to be used with a headset
with a microphone (included). Transmission is 
initiated by speaking into the remote microphone
