Coverage (referred to PMR frequency band)
The maximum range depends on terrain condition and is obtained during use in an open space.
The only limitation to maximum possible range are environmental factors
such as blockage caused by trees, buildings, or other obstructions. Inside a car or a metallic constructions, the range can be reduced. Normally
the coverage in the city, with buidings or other obstructions is about 1
or 2 Km. In open space but with obstructions like trees, leafs or houses
the maximum possible range is about 4-6 Km. In open space, without
obstructions and in sight, like for example in mountain, the coverage can
be more than 12 Km.

Above all….Safety!
Warnings
! Do not open the radio for any reason! The radio’s precision mechanics
and electronics require experience and specialized equipment; for the
same reason, the radio should under no circumstances be realigned as
it has already been calibrated for maximum performance. Unauthorized opening of the transceiver will void the warranty.
! Do not use detergents, alcohol, solvents, or abrasives to clean the
equipment. Just use a soft, clean cloth. If the radio is very dirty, slightly
dampen the cloth with a mixture of water and a neutral soap.
BATTERIES
! Do not try to charge alkaline batteries or non rechargeable batteries.
Make sure that when you charge the radio, only rechargeable NI-MH
batteries should be contained in the battery compartment! It is very
dangerous attempting to recharge other types of batteries (for example alkaline or manganese batteries). Batteries which are not suitable
to be recharged may leak, explode or even burn and cause damage!
! Using a different battery charger other than the one specified can cau-
se damage to your device or may even cause explosions and personal
injuries.
! Do not throw batteries into fire or place them near heat as this may
cause explosions or personal injuries. Dispose of the batteries according to procedures set out by local regulations.
! Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types or bat-
teries which have been used in different manners.
