Getting Started
Battery Icon
A low battery icon will appear in the bottom left corner of
the LCD display when the batteries are getting low. This
indicator will flash and continue to flash until the batteries
are fully discharged.
TIP: At this stage, you need to recharge the unit at once,
otherwise the battery will run down totally.
When the battery level reaches its minimum level, the unit will
emit two beep tones.
Important: You need to charge the unit for 10-14 hours.
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by
an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries
according to the instructions.
Battery life
Your radio has a built in power saver to make the batteries last
longer. When you are not using the units, turn them OFF to
conserve battery power.
Transmitting range
The talk range depends on the environment and terrain. The radio
can reach further in wide open spaces, without obstructions such
as hills or buildings. Don’t try to use two radio units which are
less than 1.5m (5 feet) apart. Otherwise, you may experience
interference.
