OPERATING TIPS

Antenna location and condition is important when operating a portable radio. Operating the radio in low areas or terrain, under power lines or bridges, inside of a vehicle or in a metal or steel framed building can severely reduce the range of the unit. Mountains and buildings can also reduce the range of the unit.

In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some improvement may be obtained by insuring that the antenna is vertical. Moving a few yards in an- other direction or moving to a higher elevation may also improve communications. Vehicular operation can be aided with the use of an externally mounted antenna.

Battery condition is another important factor in the trouble free operation of a portable radio. Always properly charge the batteries.

EFFICIENT RADIO OPERATION

Hold the portable radio approximately three inches from your mouth and speak into the microphone at a normal voice level.

Keep the antenna in a vertical position when receiv- ing or transmitting a message.

Do not hold the antenna when receiving a message and, especially, do not hold when transmitting a message.

ANTENNA CARE AND REPLACEMENT

Do not use the portable radio with a damaged or missing antenna. A minor burn may result if a dam- aged antenna comes into contact with the skin. Replace a damaged antenna immediately. A missing antenna could damage your portable radio.

Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Un- authorized antennas, modifications or attachments could damage the radio unit and may violate FCC regulations.

ELECTRONIC DEVICES

RF energy from your portable radio may affect some electronic equipment. Most modern electronic equipment in cars, hospitals, homes, etc. are shielded from RF energy. However, in areas that
