The battery-charger has not been
connected or
installed correctly.
Inspect the connections of the
battery-charger and the installation
of the batteries.
The radio switches on but is
unable to receive signals
The site of installation is too
shielded.
Move to an another area.
The volume is too low Adjust the volume.
Incorrect CTCSS or DCS Check that the CTCSS tone or DCS
code corresponds to the one set by
the parties you are communicating
with.
Noise is always present in
reception mode
The monitoring function is enabled. Disable the monitoring function.
It is not possible to
communicate with other parties
An incorrect radio channel has been
selected.

by the parties you are communicat-
ing with.
The radio is installed in a shielded
area or is too far from the party you

Move to another area.
Incorrect CTCSS or DCS Check that the CTCSS tone or DCS
code corresponds to the one set by
the parties you are communicating
with.
Reception is fragmented and/or
disturbed
The signal is very weak. Try temporarily disabling the
squelch by means of the Monitoring
feature.
The transmission distance is exces-
sive and/or there are obstacles in
the transmission path
Move closer to the party you are

transmission
The sensitivity and/or environmental
noise is too high.
Reduce the VOX sensitivity.
The VOX feature requires
speaking in a loud voice
The sensitivity is too low. If the environmental noise is not
high, increase the sensitivity or use
an optional microphone.
The autonomy of the battery
pack is limited
Commission time is too high. Try reducing the transmission time
and/or using a low power.
Logic related faults (unreadable
displayed symbols, functions
blocked, etc.)
Incorrect setting caused by a prob-
