connecting point for the wall charger/adapter.

1.

Open the speaker/microphone/charge
tab on top of your microTALK

®

Signal Strength Meter

Your microTALK

®

radio has a

Signal Strength

Meter

that shows the strength of your incoming

and outgoing transmissions. The ascending bars
next to the signal strength indicate the strength
of the signal. The greater the number of bars
visible, the stronger the signal. The fewer
number of bars visible, the weaker the signal.

Range

Your range will vary depending on terrain and conditions.

In flat, open country your radio will
operate at maximum range.
Buildings and foliage in the path of the
signal can reduce the range of the radio.
Dense foliage and hilly terrain will
further reduce the range of the radio.
On FRS channels 8 through 14, your radio
automatically switches to low power, which
will limit the range the radio can communicate.

Remember, you can achieve maximum
range by using maximum range
extender. See page 6 for details.
