The following conditions tend to reduce the effective

range of two-way radios and should be avoided when-

ever possible.

• • Operating the radio in low areas of terrain or while

under power lines or bridges.

• • Operating the radio inside of a vehicle or in a metal

or steel framed building unless using an outside

antenna.

• • Obstructions such as mountains or buildings be-

tween the sending and receiving parties.

In areas where transmission or reception is poor,

some improvements may be obtained by insuring that

the antenna is vertical. Moving a few yards in another

direction or moving to a higher elevation may also im-

prove communication.

After receiving a new rechargeable battery pack, it

should be fully charged before placing it into service. This

also applies to rechargeable batteries that have been

stored for long periods. When the battery pack requires

charging, the radio will signal the operator with an alert

tone and the radio will display

in its LCD.
