INITIAL SET-UP
The rechargeable Ni-MH battery comes initially charged from the fac-
tory. We recommend that the battery be pre-conditioned by allowing
it to drain completely before applying an additional 14 hr. charge.To
reduce the risk of damage to the battery do not use any other charg-
er except the one supplied with the kit. Please note the battery
should have a full charge before the unit is stored for a long period of
time.
If the unit is not used for a long period of time and you plan on using
it, or when you feel that the durability of the battery becomes short-
er than normal, you may restore the battery to the original state by
following the steps outlined below.
1) Discharge the battery completely by leaving the unit on
and setting the VOX sensitivity to high (next to a TV or
radio or in noisy room) until the battery is completely
drained.
2) Charge the battery completely (14 hours)
3) Discharge the battery again by following Step 1
4) You can try to restore the battery to the original state by
repeating Steps 1 and 2 three times.
5) If you are planning to store the unit for a long period of
time, charge the battery completely and remove the bat-
tery from the unit.
* NOTE: PLEASE STORE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE

BLUETOOTH®FEATURES
The GMRS X1 ChatterBox model uses Bluetooth®A2DP Technology.
In order to make use of the Bluetooth®capabilities in your unit you
must first have one of the following:
1) Cellular phone that is Bluetooth®capable.
2) Bluetooth®audio device or audio source that is attached
to an aftermarket Bluetooth® adapter (call for info).
3) GPS Navigation unit that is Bluetooth®capable.
In order to connect a Bluetooth®device to your ChatterBox you
must first make sure both your device and the ChatterBox recognize
each other.This process is called
“pairing”.
When attempting to pair a device to the ChatterBox you must fol-
low these important steps:
1) With the ChatterBox unit in the OFF position press and
HOLD the Intercom/Monitor button.
2) Power the unit on by turning the VOX knob until it
clicks on while still holding the Intercom/Monitor button
3) Immediately release the Intercom/Monitor button after
the unit turns on.
This procedure causes the ChatterBox to send out a signal to pair via
Buletooth®.
A) INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAIRING WITH MUSIC SOURCE ONLY
If you choose to pair the ChatterBox with a music source only and
not any other devices proceed with the following:
1) Be sure to have your music device powered ON and
Buletooth®adapter next to it but not plugged in yet.

2) Proceed to conduct the Pairing procedure listed above in
bold.
3) After the Bluetooth® logo is blinking and you have
released the Intercom/monitor button,, proceed to plug
the Bluetooth® adapter into your music device while fol-
lowing any type of pairing instructions that came with it.
4) Allow up to 30 seconds for the devices to pair and the
music should automatically start playing through the head-
set. If this does not occur after 30 seconds proceed to
turn the ChatterBox off and conduct the steps again from
the beginning.
5) After the two devices have been successfully paired you
can turn either unit off then on again and they will auto-
matically pair.
When a music source is successfully paired with the ChartterBox you
may be able to control certain features of the audio source with your
ChatterBox controls (does not apply to all audio sources). If your
audio source is compatible you must first switch the ChatterBox
mode to Bluetooth® mode. In order to do this you must push and
hold the MODE button until the screen displays “BT”. When the
ChatterBox is in this mode you can adjust the volume level of the
music with the volume control on the ChatterBox.You can also navi-
gate through the song list by using the channel UP and DOWN but-
tons. In order to go back to communication mode press and hold the
MODE button again until the “BT” on the display shows the usual
Channel Idle mode.You are in normal idle mode when you can adjust
the volume of your voice when communicating as well as the usual
features of the ChatterBox.
B) INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAIRING WITH CELL PHONE ONLY
Before proceeding with the following steps, please familiarize yourself
with your phones Bluetooth® instructions and procedures.
1) Activate the Bluetooth®feature on your cell phone (do
not search for devices yet). After doing so you should see
the Bluetooth® logo appear on the main idle menu of your
phone. 11
