performance and improve transmission range in the field. To  
avoid interference, it is recommended that you do not use the  
unit closer than 5 feet from another unit.  
2. For better transmission results, keep your mouth about 2-3  
inches from the microphone and speak slowly in a normal  
voice.  
3. Reverse polarity( + / - ) may cause serious damage to the unit.  
Make sure not to reverse the polarity( + / - ) of the batteries in the  
battery compartment.

2. Avoid exposing the transceiver to water or extreme tempera-  
tures.  
3. Do not attempt to modify or in any way increase the output of  
this transceiver. Its output is designed to meet the legal limits
