Coverage/range
The maximum range depends on terrain condition and is obtained during 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. Inside a car or a metallic constructions, the range can be reduced. Normally the
coverage in the city, with buildings or other obstructions is about 1 or 2 Km. In open space but with obstructions
like trees, leaves 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.
Batteries and battery compartment
The transceiver accepts the supplied rechargeable battery pack or 4AAA alkaline/ rechargeable batteries. To open
the battery compartment: with the back of the radio facing you, unhook the battery holder in the lower part of the
radio and gently slide the cover. Insert the battery observing the polarity and place the cover again.
Attention: the supplied battery pack must be recharged before the first use.
Warnings
› BATTERIES - Strictly follow all the warnings on the batteries stated at chapter "Battery recharge".
› 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 re-
aligned as it has already been calibrated for maximum performance. Unauthorized 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.
