Phenomena Analysis Solution The battery may be improperly installed. Remove the battery and reassemble it. Power-on Failure The battery power may be used up. Recharge or replace the battery. The battery is poorly connected due to dirtied or damaged battery contacts. Clean the battery contacts. If the problem cannot be solved, contact your dealer or authorized service center for inspection and repair. Low battery voltage. Recharge or replace the battery. During receiving, the voice is weak, discontinuous or totally inactive. Low volume level. The antenna may be loosened or improperly installed. The speaker may be blocked or damaged. Unable to communicate with other members. The frequency or signaling may be inconsistent with that of other members. Increase the volume by rotating the Volume Control knob. Reassemble the antenna after turning off the radio. Clean the surface of the speaker. If the problem cannot be solved, contact your dealer or authorized service center for inspection and repair. Set your TX/RX frequency and signaling to the same as that of other members. The channel type (digital/analog) may be set inconsistently. Make sure all members are on the same digital/analog channel. 14 15 Troubleshooting Care and Cleaning Phenomena Analysis Solution You may be too far away from the group members. Move towards other members. Unable to communicate with other members. Irrelevant communication or noise is heard on the channel. You may be interrupted by radios using the same frequency. Change the frequency, or adjust the squelch level. The radio may be set with no signaling. Set signaling for all member radios to avoid interference at the same frequency. And change the signaling settings for all portable radios at the same time. You may be too far away from other members. Move towards other members. You may locate in an unfavorable position. For example, your communication may be blocked by high buildings or frustrated in the underground areas. You may suffer from external disturbance (such as electromag-
netic interference). Stay away from equipment that may cause interference. To guarantee optimal performance as well as a long service life of the product, please follow the tips below. Do not puncture or scratch the product with hard objects. Do not place the product in corrosive agents, solutions or water. Do not handle the radio by its antenna or external microphone directly. When not in use, keep the accessory jacks covered with the protective caps. Power off the product, and remove the battery before cleaning.
