TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Problem Solution
No power - Ensure that the batteries are installed properly.
- The batteries may be weak.
Reposition or replace batteries
Message not transmitted - Make sure the PTT is completely pressed as you transmit.
Message not received - Make sure that radios have the same channel setting.
- Make sure PTT is not inadvertently being pressed.
- Obstructions operating indoors or in vehicles may interfere
with communication.
- Change your location.
- Check to make sure volume is loud enough to be heard.
Hearing other
conversation or noise on
a channel
- Shared channel may be in use, try another.
Limited talk range - Steel/concrete structures and heavy foliage will decrease
communication range, check for clear line of sight to improve
transmission.
- Wearing radio close to body such as in a pocket or on a belt
will decrease range, change location of radio.
Heavy static or
interference
- Radios are too close to each other. Radio must be at least 5
feet apart. Increase your distance.
- Radios are too far apart. Obstacles interfere with transmission.
Talk range is up to 2 miles in clear and unobstructed
conditions.

selected.

transmission range in the field. To av oid interference, it is recommended that
you do not use the units closer than 5 feet apart.
3. For best transmission results, always keep your mouth about 2-3 inches from
the Microphone and speak slowly and clearly in a normal voice.
