Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.

Two-Way Radio Operation
When using your radio as a traditional two-way radio, hold the radio
in a vertical position with the microphone 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm)
away from the lips.
Body-Worn Operation
If you wear a radio on your body when transmitting, always place
the radio in a supplied or approved clip, holder, holster, case, or
body harness for this product. If you do not use one of the supplied
or approved body-worn accessories, and are not using the radio
held in the normal use position, ensure the radio and its antenna are
at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from your body when transmitting.
