GETTING STARTED
Signal Strength Indicator and Channel Busy
Indicators
When there is activity on a frequency, the radio
blinks the Signal Strength Indicator icon
(without the bars) and the radio LED stays solid
orange. The radio Signal Strength Indicator
icon can change from 1 (weakest) to 6
(strongest) depending on the radio reception
coverage. When the radio is in receiving mode,
the radio displays the Signal Strength Indicator
icon with bars.
Note: Obstacles blocking the signal path affects
the strength of incoming signal.
TALK RANGE
XT Series radios have been designed to
maximize performance and improve
transmission range in the field. It is
recommended that you do no use the radios
closer than 1.5 meters apart, to avoid
interference. XT460 coverage is 16.250 square
meters, 13 floors and 9 km in flat areas.
Talk range depends on the terrain. It will be
affected by concrete structures, heavy foliage
and by operating radios indoors or in vehicles.
Optimal range occurs in flat, open areas with
up to 9 kilometers of coverage. Medium range
occurs when buildings and trees are in the way.
Minimal range occurs when dense foliage and
mountains obstruct the communication path.
To establish a proper two-way communication,
the Channel, Frequency and Interference
Eliminator Codes must be the same on both
radios. This depends on the stored profile that
has been pre-programmed on the radio:
