ABOUT RANGE
Your XT511 Series radios are designed to give you maximum range under optimum conditions.
Optimum Conditions are:
•Over water
•Open rural areas without obstructions
•Flat areas where you can see the other person
To ensure you get maximum range:
•Be sure to use fresh or fully charged batteries - low batteries will cause low power conditions
•Be sure you are on a GMRS channel - FRS channels are restricted by the FCC to low power
•Be sure to set your radio to use Hi power.
•Be sure to point the ANTENNA upward.
