Coverage
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. In open space, without
obstructions and in sight, like for example in mountain, the coverage can reach
4 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.

CTCSS sub-audio tone setting
The CTCSS sub-tones, are code numbers (from 1 to 38) that can be added to
the first 8 channels in order to create a new private channel. You can add up
to 38 codes to the channels named from P1 to P8. For example if you add the
CTCSS sub-tone “27” to the channel “P3” you will obtain the new channel
“P327” that will be able to communicate to other transceivers only if they will
be set on the same channel and sub tone.
To activate 38 dierent CTCSS sub-tones follow these steps:
1. Turn on the radio.
2. Press the Menu button and select with the ▲/▼ buttons one of the 8
channels (from P1 to P8).
3. Press twice the Menu button until the display shows the selected channel
with the flashing two CTCSS sub-tone digits (on the right of the channel)
4. Select with the ▲/▼ buttons the desired CTCSS tone (from 1 to 38).
5. To confirm the setting press PTT.
Now the radio transmits and receives using the programmed CTCSS subtone. If you don’t want to use any CTCSS tone, select “oF”.
CTCSS tones displayed on the LCD
When you activate a CTCSS sub-tone, from P1 to P8, you can see the tone
on the right side of the channel. For the other channels (from 9 onwards) the
CTCSS sub-code is pre-programmed and then “hidden”.
Keypad beep o
Everytime you press any button, you will hear a beep sound. To deactivate it
press Menu 4 times. Then select “oF” with the ▲/▼ controls and confirm your
selection by pushing PTT. To enable the beep again, repeat the same procedure
and select “ON”.
MON/SCAN
Monitor function
When this feature is activated, the radio can receive very low and weak signals.
This is very useful when you need to talk but the distance is as far as the maximum range possible; with the monitor feature you can extend the coverage
of the radio.
The disadvantage is the reception of loud background noises.
