Two way radios can produce and emit electromagnetic energy to outside, and electromagnetic transmission safety design of ABELL two way radio completely conforms with national and international standard. In order to ensure the best communication effect of two way radio and the electromagnetic transmission safety for human, when you use two way radios for communication, please keep the two way radio perpendicular to the ground, and your month away from microphone 2.5-5 cm.

A720T (VHF) Service Manual V1.0 adjust volume. When you want to turn off two way radio, counter-clockwise rotate the knob until hear a sound of "click". Note: if you turn off the power on sound when programming, you will not hear the power on sound.Check the battery when power on failure to make sure battery installed properly.
Through programming software, come into debugging mode. PC mode 3.3.1 Preface Use programming cable to connect A720T and PC, operate programming software (ABELL A720T programming software) on PC to make programming setting for communication equipment. Figure 1 shows the process of programming setting on PC.
