Motorola RDU2080 manual Signal Strength Indicator and Channel Busy Indicators, Talk Range

GETTING STARTED

Signal Strength Indicator and Channel Busy Indicators

When there is activity on a frequency the radio

displays the strength indicator icon while radio LED blinks faster. When there is activity on the same frequency and code as your radio (your radio is receiving), the radio signal strength icon can change from 1 (weakest) to 6 (strongest) depending on the radio reception coverage. This can help determine when a radio is moving out of range.

Note: Obstacles that block the signal path may affect the strength of the incoming signal.
