Coverage (referred to PMR frequency band)

The maximum range depends on terrain condition and is obtained du-

ring use in an open space.

The only limitation to maximum possible range are environmental factors

such as blockage caused by trees, buildings, or other obstructions. Insi-

de a car or a metallic constructions, the range can be reduced. Normally

the coverage in the city, with buidings or other obstructions is about 1

or 2 Km. In open space but with obstructions like trees, leafs or houses

the maximum possible range is about 4-6 Km. In open space, without

obstructions and in sight, like for example in mountain, the coverage can

be more than 12 Km.

Above all….Safety!

Warnings

! Do not open the radio for any reason! The radio’s precision mechanics

and electronics require experience and specialized equipment; for the

same reason, the radio should under no circumstances be realigned as

it has already been calibrated for maximum performance. Unauthori-

zed opening of the transceiver will void the warranty.

! Do not use detergents, alcohol, solvents, or abrasives to clean the

equipment. Just use a soft, clean cloth. If the radio is very dirty, slightly

dampen the cloth with a mixture of water and a neutral soap.

BATTERIES

! Do not try to charge alkaline batteries or non rechargeable batteries.

Make sure that when you charge the radio, only rechargeable NI-MH

batteries should be contained in the battery compartment! It is very

dangerous attempting to recharge other types of batteries (for exam-

ple alkaline or manganese batteries). Batteries which are not suitable

to be recharged may leak, explode or even burn and cause damage!

! Using a diﬀerent battery charger other than the one speciﬁed can cau-

se damage to your device or may even cause explosions and personal

injuries.

! Do not throw batteries into ﬁre or place them near heat as this may

cause explosions or personal injuries. Dispose of the batteries accor-

ding to procedures set out by local regulations.

! Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of diﬀerent types or bat-

teries which have been used in diﬀerent manners.
