Getting Started
Low Battery Meter Indicator
The radio can detect the low battery level when the battery
voltage goes low. The battery icon will display the low
battery status as follows;
When battery voltage is low the empty battery symbol will
appear and continue to blink.
The battery icon will continue to blink until it totally drains
the battery voltage.
Power Saving Mode
Your radio has special circuitry designed to extend the life
of your battery. When the unit is not used for 4 seconds,
it will automatically switch low power mode. The Power
Saving feature does not affect the Radio's ability to receive
transmissions. When a signal is detected, it automatically
returns to full power mode.
Transmitting range
The talk range depends on the environment and terrain. The
radio can reach (up to about 3km) 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.
Talk range depends on the terrain. It will be affected by concrete
structures, heavy foliage and by operating radios indoors or in
vehicles.
