Possible Cause
The battery pack is discharged and/or has not been
installed correctly.
Discharged battery pack.
The battery-charger has not been connected or installed
correctly.
The site of installation is too shielded.
The volume is too low
Incorrect CTCSS or DCS
An incorrect radio channel has been selected.
The radio is installed in a shielded area or is too far from
the party you are communicating with
Incorrect CTCSS or DCS
The signal is very weak.
The transmission distance is excessive and/or there are
obstacles in the transmission path
Other parties are using the same channel
The radio has been installed too close to equipment that
causes interference (televisions, computers, etc.)
The channel is used by an excessive number of parties
or the transmission has been barred due to a busy
channel.
The sensitivity and/or environmental
noise is too high.
The sensitivity is too low.
Incorrect setting caused by a problem with the power
supply.
Solution
Verify that the battery pack is charged and that it has
been correctly installed.
Recharge the battery pack.
Inspect the connections of the battery-charger and the

equipment.
Select another channel. Ask the radio link provider to
disable the block due to busy channel.
Reduce the VOX sensitivity.
If the environmental noise is not high, increase the
sensitivity or use an optional microphone.
Try reducing the transmission time and/or using a low
power.
Recharge the battery pack
