Talk Range
Talkabout radios have been designed to maximize performance and improve
transmission range in the field. It is recommended that you do not use the
radios closer than 5 feet apart because of heavy interference.
Talk range depends on the terrain. These are line of sight radios and talk
range will be affected by concrete structures, heavy foliage and operating
radios indoors and in vehicles.
Care and Safety
To clean the radio, wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water. Don’t use
cleaners or solvents on the radio, they can harm the body and leak inside,
causing permanent damage. Battery contacts may be wiped with a dry, lint-
free cloth.
If the radio gets wet, turn it off and remove batteries immediately. Dry battery
compartment with a soft cloth to minimize potential water damage. Leave
cover off the battery compartment overnight or until completely dry. Do not
use the radio until completely dry.
Accessories
With the audio and carrying accessories (sold separately) available for
Talkabout radios, you’ll be able to receive incoming messages in privacy with
