Range
••
Your range will vary depending on terrain and conditions.
In flat, open country your radio will
operate at maximum range.
Buildings and foliage in the path of the
signal can reduce the range of the radio.
Dense foliage and hilly terrain will
further reduce the range of the radio.
On FRS channels 8 through 14, your radio
automatically switches to low power, which
will limit the range the radio can communicate.
Remember, you can achieve maximum
range by using maximum range
extender. See page 6 for details.

Press using the
Channel Up
or
Channel Down
button to select a privacy code. You can hold
the
Up
or
Down
button for fast advance.
3.
When your desired privacy code is displayed,
choose one of the following:
a.
Press the
Mode/Lock
button to enter the
new setting and proceed to other functions.

button to enter the
new setting and return to
