Content of the package
• 2 transceivers with belt clip
• 1 USB cable
• 1 double fast desktop charger
• 2 rechargeable battery packs 700mAh
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 exam-
ple in mountain, the coverage can be 10 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 dierent battery charger other than the one specified can cause da-
mage 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 ex-
plosions 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 dierent types or batteries
which have been used in dierent manners.
