Troubleshooting

Radio will not talk to other radios in system.
Possible Problem (1): Radios may be on different fre-
quencies, or having different Coded
Squelch Codes.
Solution :Verify that frequencies and Coded
Squelch Codes are the same for all
radios in your talk group.
Hearing other conversations or noise on your radio.
Possible Problem (1): Users do not have exclusive use
of frequencies. Frequencies must be shared
using proper radio etiquette.
Solution :Use proper radio etiquette.
NOTE
Coded squelch screens out other users’ conversa-
tions on your radio, but other users who share your
frequency may still hear your conversations.
Limited talk range.
Possible Problem (1): Using your radio in basements,
steel structures, concrete buildings, auto-
mobiles, or heavy foliage decreases its
range.
Solution :These are standard characteristics of
transmitters. External magnetic mount
antennas are recommended for best
range when communicating in an auto-
mobile. If the radio supports the High/
Low Power Output option, check that the
radio is not in Low Power Transmit
Mode; the ‘LOW’ indicator on the LCD
Screen (18) lights in this mode.
