Problem things to try
I can transmit, but no
one can hear me.
Check your UIC channel settings; does
the area you are in use different channel
assignments?
The radio won’t
transmit.
– Make sure you are not in weather or scan
mode.
– Make sure you are not trying to transmit at
the wrong power level for the channel or on
a receive-only channel (see the channel lists
starting on page F-30).
– Check the battery power level; if it’s too low,
charge the battery before transmitting.
– Make sure the duration of each transmission
is less than 5 minutes.
Where can I find the
serial number?
The serial number is on a plate inside the
battery compartment.
