Range
The PMR wristwatch is intended for indoor and outdoor use. However please note they
can be damaged by water/liquid ingress, impact or other careless treatment.
In a densely populated area, house, apartment, etc. the radio waves transmitting the

unobstructed line of sight transmission with the antenna raised and will be up to 3
kilometre.
