OUBLESHOOTING

Limited talk range
Steel and/or concrete structures, heavy foliage, buildings or vehicles decrease
range. Check for clear line of sight to improve transmission.
Wearing radio close to body such as in a pocket or on a belt decreases range.
Change location of radio. To increase range and coverage, you can either
reduce obstructions or use UHF radio instead of VHF MURS radio. UHF radios
provide greater coverage in industrial and commercial buildings. (FCC license
may be required). VHF MURS is designed for outdoor or smaller or wood
structures. Increasing power provides greater signal range and increased
penetration through obstructions. Refer to See Talking and Monitoring on
page 25.
Message not transmitted or
received
Make sure the PTT button is completely pressed when transmitting.
Confirm that the radios have the same Channel, MURS Frequency, Interference
Eliminator Code and Scramble Code settings. Refer to “Talking and Monitoring”
section on page 25 for further information.
Recharge, replace and/or reposition batteries. Refer to “About your Li-Ion
Battery” section on page 9.
Obstructions and operating indoors, or in vehicles, may interfere. Change
location. Refer to “Talking and Monitoring” Section on page 25.
Verify that the radio is not in Scan. Refer to “Scan” on page 25 and “Nuisance
Channel Delete” on page 37.
