Holding Your Radio
The radio has two microphones:
• A top microphone for simplex group, dispatcher, or private calls
• A bottom microphone for duplex, telephone-like calls
When making duplex calls (low audio), hold your
radio as you would a telephone. Speak into the
bottom microphone. Listen via the earpiece. Keep
the antenna at least 2.5 centimeters from your head
and body.
When making simplex calls (high audio), hold the
radio in a vertical position with the top microphone
5 to 10 centimetres away from your mouth. Speak
into the top microphone. Listen via the radio internal
speaker. Keep the antenna at least 2.5 centimeters
from your head and body.
Looking After Your Radio
Never leave your radio or battery in extreme temperatures
(over +85 °C), for example, behind a windscreen in direct sunlight.
The radio is submersible (compliant with the IP67 standard) - but only with the
battery and the antenna attached.
To clean your radio, use a moistened or antistatic cloth.
