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.
