TROUBLES
HOOTING
Limited talk range
Steel and/or concrete structures, heavy foliage, buildings or vehicles decrease
range. Check for clear line of sight to improve transmission.
Wearing radio close to body such as in a pocket or on a belt decreases range.
Change location of radio. To increase range and coverage, you can reduce
obstructions or increase power. UHF radios provides greater coverage in industrial
and commercial buildings. Increasing power provides greater signal range and
increased penetration through obstructions.
Refer to “Talk Range” on page 25.
Message not
transmitted or received
Make sure the PTT button is completely pressed when transmitting.
Confirm that the radios have the same Channel, Frequency, Interference Eliminator
Code and Scramble Code settings. Refer to “Frequency and Code Charts” on
page 31 for further information.
Recharge, replace and/or reposition batteries.
Obstructions and operating indoors, or in vehicles, may interfere. Change location.
Refer to “Talk Range” on page 25.
Verify that the radio is not in Scan. Refer to “Starting and Stopping Scan” on
page 27 and “Nuisance Channel Delete” on page 27.
