Things You should Know
The unit is designed to maximize performance and improve
transmission range in the field. However, the talk range depends on
your surrounding environment. These are line of sight radios and talk
range will be affected by concrete structures, heavy foliage and
transmission from inside a building or vehicle.
Optimal Range
Talk range in flat,
open areas is up to
2 miles.
Medium Range
Range is decreased
when buildings and
trees are in the way.
Minimal Range
Dense foliage and
mountains can limit
range.

8-C Safety Instructions
4. Exercise care in handling battery(ies) in order not to short the
battery(ies) to conductive materials such as rings, bracelets, and
keys. The battery(ies) and/or conductor may overheat and cause
burns.
5. Do not recharge the battery(ies) provided with or identified for
use with this product. The battery(ies) may leak corrosive
electrolyte or explode.
6. Do not attempt to rejuvenate the battery(ies) provided with or
identified for use with this product by heating. Sudden release of
battery electrolyte may occur causing burns or irritation to the
eyes or skin.
7. Replace all batteries at the same time. Mixing fresh and
discharged batteries could increase internal cell pressure and
rupture the discharged batteries. (Applies to products employing
more than one separately replaceable primary battery.)
8. When installing batteries observe the proper polarity or direction.
Incorrect installation can cause charging, and may result in
leakage or explosion. (Applies to products employing more than
one separately replaceable primary battery.)
9. Remove the battery(ies) from this product if the product will not
be used for a long period of time (several months or more).
During this time the battery(ies) could leak in the product.
10. Discard the “dead” battery(ies) as soon as possible. The “dead”
battery(ies) may leak in the product.
11. Do not store this product, or the battery(ies) provided with or
identified for use with this product, in high temperature areas.
Batteries that are stored in a freezer or refrigerator for the
purpose of extending shelf life should be protected from
condensation during storage and defrosting. Batteries should be
stabilized at room temperature prior to use after cold storage.
