OPERATING TIPS

Antenna location and condition is important when

operating a portable radio. Operating the radio in low

areas or terrain, under power lines or bridges, inside

of a vehicle or in a metal or steel framed building can

severely reduce the range of the unit. Mountains and

buildings can also reduce the range of the unit.

In areas where transmission or reception is poor,

some improvement may be obtained by insuring that

the antenna is vertical. Moving a few yards in an-

other direction or moving to a higher elevation may

also improve communications. Vehicular operation

can be aided with the use of an externally mounted

antenna.

Battery condition is another important factor in the

trouble free operation of a portable radio. Always

properly charge the batteries.

EFFICIENT RADIO OPERATION

Hold the portable radio approximately three inches

from your mouth and speak into the microphone at

a normal voice level.

Keep the antenna in a vertical position when receiv-

ing or transmitting a message.

Do not hold the antenna when receiving a message

and, especially, do

not

hold when transmitting a

message.

ANTENNA CARE AND REPLACEMENT

Do not use the portable radio with a damaged or

missing antenna. A minor burn may result if a dam-

aged antenna comes into contact with the skin.

Replace a damaged antenna immediately. A missing

antenna could damage your portable radio.

Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Un-

authorized antennas, modifications or attachments

could damage the radio unit and may violate FCC

regulations.

ELECTRONIC DEVICES

RF energy from your portable radio may affect some

electronic equipment. Most modern electronic

equipment in cars, hospitals, homes, etc. are

shielded from RF energy. However, in areas that
