FRS channels. Channels 15 through 22 are GMRS channels. The FRS channels (8-14)
transmit at 0.5 W, while all other channels transmit at 1.0W. While battery life is longer
when using channels 8-14, the range of transmission is shorter.

be selected with the dial on the Smart Mic. Therefore you don’t need touch the base unit

release the PTT button.
Your BC Link is designed to maximize performance and transmission range. Do not use
them when the units are less than five feet apart.
