      If you experience sound distortion with your Binatone Two-Way Radio, it could be due to several reasons. If transmitting, speak in a normal tone of voice, keeping about 5 cm away from the microphone. If receiving, lower the volume to a comfortable level. Ensure the radios are at least 2 meters apart, or increase the distance. Obstacles can also interfere with the transmission, or the radios may be too far apart.
