PTT timeout
If you hold down for more than

60 seconds, your radio will emit a
warning tone and stop
transmitting. This is to stop
accidental transmissions and to
save the battery life.
Range
It is recommended that you do not
use the radios closer than 1.5
metres apart to avoid interference.
Your radios have a range of up to
3km (2 miles). However, the range
can be affected by the environment
or terrain in which it is being used.
To obtain maximum range, use in
flat open spaces. Obstruction
between the radios (e.g. buildings)
will greatly affect the range
achieved.
Remember!
To communicate with other radios
in your group they must all be set
to the same channel and sub-
channel.
