Talk Range - Motorola TALKABOUT TA288 Manual

Walkie-talkie Etiquette
Your walkie-talkie's 8 channels are shared on a "take turns" basis.
This means other groups may be talking on the channels. For
uninterrupted communications, follow the steps below:
1. Use the Mon button to check activity on the channel before
talking.
2. Don't talk over someone who is already using the channel – your
message may not be completely heard. Try changing the Channel
and Interference Eliminator Code to avoid channel congestion.
Note: Since the channels are shared, your conversations will not be private
and you may hear others talking.

Talk Range

Talkabout TA288 walkie-talkies have been designed to maximize
performance and improve transmission range in the field. It is
recommended that you do not use the walkie-talkies closer than 1.5
meters apart because of heavy interference.
Talk range depends on the terrain. These are line of sight walkie-
talkies and talk range will be affected by concrete structures, heavy
foliage and operating walkie-talkies indoors and in vehicles.
Optimal Range Medium Range
Optimal range occurs in flat, open areas with up to 3 kilometres of
coverage. Medium range occurs when buildings and trees are in the
way. Minimal range occurs when dense foliage and mountains
obstruct the communication path.
Note: Talkabout TA288 walkie-talkies use single pin accessories and therefore
