Possible Problem (2): Operating the radio while it is
close to your body (i.e. in a pocket or on a
belt) and while you are using audio acces-
sories decreases its range because of the
shielding effect of your body.
Solution :The higher the radio is held, the better
the talk range. Use of audio accessories
is only recommended in close range sit-
uations for best results.
Possible Problem (3): The Carrier Squelch Level may
be set too high.
Solution :Set the Carrier Squelch Level to a lower
value (see “Setting Squelch Level” on
page 20).
You hear constant static from speaker.
Possible Problem (1): The alkaline batteries may be
weak (or the NiCd battery may be dis-
charged).
Solution :Press and hold the Push-To-Talk (PTT)
Button (6) while looking at the LCD
Screen (18). If the ‘BATT’ indicator
flashes continuously while still holding
the Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button (6), the bat-
teries should be replaced or recharged.
Possible Problem (2): When using your radio around
computers or electronic equipment, you
may hear static or interference from these
devices.
Solution :Enable Coded Squelch. Coded squelch
screens out this type of interference (see
“Changing Squelch Modes” on page 18).
