EXTENDED OPERATIONS, Continued
practical, communication may be improved by moving away from
shielding structures. If you are in a building interior, move closer to
a window (preferably one generally in the direction of the System).
At 800 MHz, the wave length is very short - sometimes moving a
few inches to a few feet can make significant signal strength changes.
Finding the best location can also be done while listening to the back-
ground noise when moving about; attempt to find a spot where the
background noise is reduced to a minimum or eliminated entirely.
This may make the difference from not being heard, to being heard
loud and clear when operating in the fringe areas of your System
coverage. The fringe distance will vary greatly from plains areas,
hilly terrain and mountain top sites.
FCC LICENSING

The FCC requires all transmitters in the conventional and some trunked
Systems to be licensed by the Federal Communications Commission.
Some trunked operations now are exempt from individual licensing
requirements but must be operated in a licensed System.
Consult your Dealer regarding specific licensing information, or
contact the Federal Communications Commission.

call 717-337-1212 or contact the FCC District Office near you.
TRANSCEIVER SERVICE
There are no user serviceable components inside the radio. Altering
the internal components or adjustments may result in illegal emissions,
including off-frequency operation, or damage to the radio. Should an
UNLOCK condition be shown in the LCD window, or the LCD fail to
display information, or all icons and display segments be shown, turn
the On/ Off-Volume control OFF then ON to reset the microprocessor.
Ensure that the battery is fully charged and check that the antenna is
securely tightened. If the unit still fails to operate properly, refer to an
Authorized Service Center for servicing.
