When a new narrowband radio receives a transmission from an older wideband radio the speech may sound loud
and distorted – simply adjust your radio volume for the best listening performance. When an older wideband
radio receives a signal from a new narrowband radio the speech may sound quieter - simply adjust your radio
volume for best listening performance. When operating a narrowband radio or Channel 41 - 80 interference is
possible from wideband radios transmitting on high power or on adjacent frequency.
The issues described above are not a fault of the radio but a consequence of mixed use of wideband and
narrowband radios.
This unit complies with all relevant Australian and New Zealand approval requirements AS/NZS 4365:2011

CAUTION Ensure the installation does not interfere with the operation of the vehicle and meets all regulatory and safety retirements for accessories fitted to your vehicle.
