Troubleshooting
Limited talk range | Steel and/or concrete structures, heavy foliage, use in buildings |
| or vehicles decrease range. Check for clear line of sight to |
| improve transmission. |
| Wearing radio close to body such as in a pocket or on a belt |
| decreases range. Change location of radio. |
|
|
Heavy static or interference | Radios are too close, they must be at least five feet apart. |
| Radios are too far apart or obstacles interfering with |
| transmission. Talk range is up to two miles in clear, unobstructed |
| conditions. |
|
|
Channel and/or code locked | Make sure radio is unlocked. See page 29. |
|
|
Low batteries | Replace alkaline batteries. Recharge or replace NiMH battery. |
| Extreme operating temperatures affect battery life. |
|
|
Charger LED double flashing | Charger not properly positioned. Reposition charger and ensure |
| it is firmly clamped to the radio, battery, or charging dock. |
| Battery power is very low; battery is charging up slowly before it |
| starts to quick charge. |
|
|
Cannot activate VOX | Feature not set and on. See page 18. |
|
|
Poor FM reception | FM stereo use is optimal with use of stereo earbuds. |
