2.To obtain maximum performance from the radio, select a high quality antenna and mount it in a good location. Do not press the PTT or CALL button before installing the antenna.

Optional accessories

If required you may install an external (8 ohm, max 5w power) speaker fitted with a 3.5mm plug (not supplied).

There is a jack located on the rear of the radio and on the UHF100 there is an additional jack on the side of the remote head unit.
