Inserting the Radio into the Vehicle Charger

When the portable radio is used inside a vehicle, radio performance is degraded.
Use a mobile radio for all critical communications. If the portable radio must be left
switched on while it is in the charger, removing the radio from the charger will
improve radio performance. Check your local regulations about using a portable
radio in a vehicle.
