The ARC HANDSFREE has a 3/4-mile range. Depending on 
the way you use your transmitter, the transmitter range may 
vary. 

To get the greatest range, hold the transmitter away from 
your body and avoid touching the antenna. Keep your unit 
properly charged for maximum signal strength.

Notice

Avoid touching the antenna or the range may decrease
substantially.

Maximum range

Minimum range

Carry the handheld transmitter with the antenna facing away from you.

Do not place the handheld transmitter with the antenna touching your body
or facing downwards. 

The range on the ARC HANDSFREE is reduced when the

with your body. Refer to the following carrying methods for
