Page 2: Xl is the versatile choice for communications

Boasting high-quality specs and convenient
features, Kenwood’s FreeTalk

XL adds a dose of fun to

your activities anywhere and anytime.

■

Die-Cast Chassis & Meets

Military Standards

The aluminum die-cast chassis provides
exceptional strength for rough handling that,
when combined with a rugged and sealed
case design, enable the FreeTalk

XL to pro-

vide years of reliable use. The FreeTalk

also meets MIL-STD 810
C, D & E environmental
specifications for
Vibration, Shock,
Humidity, Dust, and
Light Rain.

■

Small & Lightweight

Carry the FreeTalk

XL in your pocket or on

a belt and you’ll hardly notice it’s there
because it’s so small and lightweight
(approximately 11 oz. and 5 inches in
height).

■

Simple Operation/

Rugged Controls

Simply turn it on and push to talk. Each
FreeTalk

XL has an on/off power volume

setting knob to adjust audio to a comfort-
able listening level. A monitor button is also
provided to check for other users’ activity.
For added convenience, the two-color LED
indicator lights red for transmit and green
for an active channel.

■

2 Watts Transmit Power/ Range

Up To 5 Miles

The 2 watts of power that FreeTalk

XL has

to offer allows direct radio-to-radio commu-
nications on the same frequency (simplex)
for up to 5 miles*.

■

Brass Reinforced Antenna Port

The sealed heavy-duty “SMA” antenna
connector and high-gain durable antenna
of the FreeTalk

XL provide excellent

strength for optimum range.

■

Includes 8-Hour Battery Pack,

Desktop Charger & Belt Clip

The sealed rechargeable NiCd battery pack
slides on quickly and easily to the radio.
This means that you don’t have to contend
with cumbersome latches and there are no
battery compartment lids to lose or break.
Charging a radio with battery installed or a
spare battery pack is a simple drop-in task
with the supplied desktop charger.
A long-use, 10-hour KNB-15A battery
option is also available and the spring belt-
clip mounts directly to the body chassis.

■

Time-Out timer

When the continuous transmit limit of
3 minutes is reached, the time-out timer
automatically switches the FreeTalk

XL to

receive operation. This limits per transmis-
sion talk time of each unit to help reduce
channel congestion and conserve battery
power.
