OPERATING TIPS
The following conditions tend to reduce the
effective range of two-way radios and should be
avoided whenever possible.
Operating the radio in low areas of terrain or
while under power lines or bridges.
Operating the radio inside of a vehicle or in a
metal or steel framed building unless using an
outside antenna.
Obstructions such as mountains or buildings
between the sending and receiving parties.
In areas where transmission or reception is poor,
some improvements may be obtained by insuring
that the antenna is vertical. Moving a few yards in
another direction or moving to a higher elevation
may also improve communication.
BATTERY PACKS
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
After receiving a new rechargeable battery pack,
it should be fully charged before placing it into
service. This also applies to rechargeable batteries
that have been stored for long periods. When the
battery pack requires charging, the radio will signal
the operator with an alert tone and the radio will
display
in its LCD.
