PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The COMMUNICATOR is the newest generation in personal two-way
communications. The COMMUNICATOR operates in a license-free
radio band on the FRS channels 8 - 14 (no FCC license is needed
for its operation), and on licensed GMRS/FRS channels 1 - 7, and
GMRS channels 15 - 22 (see page 22 regarding licensing
information).
The COMMUNICATOR is a lightweight, compact two-way
communication device that can be used to communicate with family
or friends at parks, shopping malls, sporting events, concerts -- any
indoor or outdoor activity!
The COMMUNICATOR is compatible with other brands utilizing the
same FRS frequency band (operating in the frequency range from
462.5625 MHz to 467.7125 MHz) or same GMRS frequency band
(operating in 462.5750 MHz to 462.7250 MHz).
The COMMUNICATOR has 22 CHANNELS, including 7 FRS
channels, 7 GMRS/FRS channels, and 8 GMRS channels (For

Other features include ELECTRONIC VOLUME CONTROL and
BATTERY SAVE CIRCUITRY.
Please read this Owner's Manual carefully to get the most out of
your GMRS/FRS COMMUNICATOR.
NOTE: The maximum transmission range will vary depending on
terrain and environment. Range will be greater in open
fields, while range is shorter within and around buildings or
large structures.
This unit may not ensure privacy of communication.
