ABOUT RANGE

Your XT511 Series radios are designed to give you maximum range under

optimum conditions.

Optimum Conditions are:

l Over water

l Open rural areas without obstructions

l Flat areas where you can see the other person

To ensure you get maximum range:

l Be sure to use fresh or fully charged batteries - low batteries will

cause low power conditions

l Be sure you are on a GMRS channel - FRS channels are

restricted by the FCC to low power

l Be sure to set your radio to use Hi power.

l Be sure to point the ANTENNA upward.
