3. Connecting the dual charger pod to the mains
power supply
Plug the mains power lead into the connector on the side

Transmission range
3 Using the Personal Mobile Radio (PMR)
The talk range depends on environment and terrain. It will be greatest
(up to about 3 km, or 13/4 miles) in wide open spaces, without obstructions
such as hills or buildings. Don’t try to use two PMR handsets which are less
than 1.5 m (5 feet) apart. If you do, you may get interference.
PMR446 is an open-licence band — always identify yourself when
transmitting, as other people may be communicating on the same
channel.
The backlight for the display
To switch the backlight on and off:
Briefly press the ENTER button
Battery life
The TW30Z has a built-in Power Saver feature to make the batteries last longer.
But when you’re not using the handset, it’s best to switch it off to save battery
power. You’ll also find that the batteries last longer if you keep the backlight
switched off when you don’t need it.
Volume control
To adjust the loudspeaker volume:
Press the or button
The volume level is shown by the bars on the display.
You can change the volume either while you’re using your TW30Z
handset, or while the handset is idle (switched on but not in use).
Safety warnings
IMPORTANT —
If you are using a hands-free headset — to protect your hearing, do not turn
the volume to the highest level.
To reduce radio frequency exposure when you’re using your TW30Z, hold the
handset at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your face.
Never use your TW30Z outdoors in a thunderstorm.
The TW30Z is splashproof. But if it is likely to get very wet, carry it in a plastic
bag — you’ll still be able to use it through the bag.
If your TW30Z gets very wet, turn it off and remove the batteries. Dry the
battery compartment and leave the cover off for a few hours. Don’t use the
handset until it is completely dry.

including background noise. It will carry on monitoring for about
20 seconds, unless you press and release the MONI button again
to stop it.

You’ll hear Ring tone for about 3 seconds, while the TRANSMITTING
light is on.
Any other handset within range and tuned to the same channel will
hear Ring tone, and may decide to transmit to you.

you’ve finished speaking.
You can send Ring tone to other handsets within range and
tuned to the same channel, to alert them you want to
communicate with them.

In VOX mode, your handset will transmit whenever it detects your voice (or other
noise), without the TALK button pressed.
It will transmit for at least 2 seconds, even if you stop talking.
You may wish to use VOX mode if you’re using a hands-free kit (see overleaf).
The level of VOX sensitivity is shown by bars on the display. At the highest level
(most bars), the handset will pick up softer noises (including background noise);
at the lowest level, it will pick up only quite loud noises.
Using a hands-free kit (headset)
You can plug a hands-free kit (not supplied as standard) into the socket on the
top of your TW30Z handset. With a handsfree kit, you may wish to transmit in
VOX mode; but if you find that this doesn’t work very well, you can turn the VOX
sensitivity off and press the TALK button to transmit, as normal.
If you’d like to buy the optional hands-free kit, phone the Lexibook®Help
Line on 0808 100 3015.
