Within the radius of reach you can communicate via an optional number of radio sets, however,
only one person can talk and the other/s listen. Uncoded voice radio links are not confidential!
The range is a function of many factors. Apart from the statutory transmitting power other factors
are relevant: e.g. the position of the antenna (it should be installed at right angle and send freely),
the energy supply (fully charged battery packs fully exploit the reach) and above all the environment
where you transmit. Each obstacle (hills, buildings, trees) reduces the range, some materials
(e.g. reinforced concrete, pieces of rock) give rise for considerable screening effects. Under
optimum conditions (e.g. during sailing or paragliding) PMR 446 radio sets have a maximum
reach of 5 km. In housing areas a range of 1 - 2 km is realistic, in strongly screened environment
(e.g. in the mountains or inside buildings made of reinforced concrete) the reach may drop to a
few hundred meters or less.
Scope of delivery
1 Analog/digital PMR 446 handheld radio set
1 Charger with power supply unit (230 V/50 Hz)
1 Li-ion battery pack (7.4 V/1500 mAh)
1 Carrying strap
1 Belt clip
1 Operating instructions (German/English)
Provisions for the operation
Important note:
The Li-ion battery pack is not pre-charged: Thus prior to using the device for
the first time, the battery pack must be fully charged. The charging time amounts to approx. 3,5 h,
the maximum capacity will be achieved after approximately three charging/discharging cycles.
Safety instructions for charger and battery pack
The charger should be used only at temperatures between 0° and 40°C (charging outside the
recommended temperature range may result in battery packs which are not fully charged).
Never disassemble the charger.
Disconnect the charger from the mains when not in use.
Make sure that the radio set is switched off during charging.
Never short-out the contacts of the battery pack (explosion hazard!).
Never throw the battery pack into the fire; it could explode due to gas formation!
Do not use the charger as power supply for the radio set.
Charging the battery pack
Plug the power supply unit into a 230 V socket (1) and connect it to the charger (2), the red
charging LED briefly lights up.
Place the
switched-off
radio set with battery pack into the front charging slot and/or the battery
pack into the rear charging slot.
The red charging LED is now permanently illuminated, charging
starts.
When using both charging slots, both battery packs are charged
simultaneously and the red LEDs are permanently illuminated.
If the green charging LED lights up, the battery pack is fully charged.
Note:
A red flashing LED is indicating a dysfunction (e.g. insufficient
contact between charger and battery pack or defective battery
pack).
