Recharge or replace the battery. 

The battery may suffer from poor contact caused by dirty 
or damaged battery contacts. 

Clean the battery contacts or replace the battery. 

During receiving, the voice is weak 

or intermittent. 

The battery voltage maybe low. 

Recharge or replace the battery. 

The volume level may be low. 

Increase the volume. 

The antenna maybe loose or maybe installed incorrectly. 

Turnoff  the  radio,  and  then  remove  and  reattach 
the antenna. 

The speaker maybe blocked. 

Clean the surface of the speaker. 

You cannot communicate with 
other group members. 

The frequency  or signaling type maybe inconsistent with 
that of other members. 

Verify that your TX/RX frequency and signaling type 
are correct. 

You may be too far away from other members. 

Move towards other members. 

You hear unknown voices or noise. 

You  may  be  interrupted  by  radios  using  the  same 
frequency. 

Change the frequency, or adjust the squelch level. 

The radio in analog mode maybe set with no signaling. 

Request your dealer to set signaling for the current 
channel to avoid interference 

You are unable to hear anyone 
because of too much noise and 
hiss. 

You may be too far away from other members. 

Move towards other members. 

You may be in an unfavorable position. For example, your 
communication  may  be  blocked  by  high  buildings  or 
blocked in an underground area. 

Move  to  an  open  and  flat  area,  restart  the  radio, 
and try again. 

It  may  be  the  result  of  external  disturbance  (such  as 
electromagnetic interference). 

Stay  away  from  equipment  that  may  cause 
interference. 

The radio keeps transmitting. 

VOX may  be turned on  or the  headset is not installed in 
place 

Turn  off  the  VOX  function.  Check  that  the 
headphones are in place. 

NOTE: If the above solutions cannot fix your problems, or you may have some other queries, please contact your dealer for 

more technical support.
