Getting Started
Battery life
Your radio has a built in power saver to make the batteries last
longer. But 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. In
general the radio can reach further in wide open spaces, without
obstructions such as hills or buildings. It will be affected by
concrete structures, heavy foliage and by operating radios indoors
or in vehicles. Don’t try to use two radio units which are less than
1.5m (5 feet) apart. Otherwise, you may experience interference.
Optimal Range
Outdoors
Flat, open areas
Medium Range
Outdoors
Buildings or trees
Also near residential
buildings
Minimal Range
Outdoors
Dense foliage or
mountains. Also inside
some buildings
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
To reduce radio frequency exposure when you are using your
hand-held, hold the unit at least 5cm (2 inches) away from
your face.

Don’t use in the rain.
If your unit gets wet, turn it off and remove he battery. Dry the
battery compartment and leave the cover off for a few hours.
Don’t use the unit until it is completely dry.
