Signal Strength Indicator and Channel Busy Indicators When there is activity on a frequency the radio displays the strength indicator icon while the radio LED blinks rapidly. The radio signal strength icon can change from 1 (weakest) to 6 (strongest) depending on the radio reception coverage. This can help determine when a radio is moving out of range. Note: Obstacles that block the signal path may affect the strength of the incoming signal. TALK RANGE XTNi™ Series radios have been designed to maximize performance and improve transmission range in the field. It is recommended that you do not use the radios closer than 1.5 meters apart, to avoid interference. 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 kilometres 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. GETTING STARTED English 28

GETTING STARTED
Signal Strength Indicator and Channel
Busy Indicators
When there is activity on a frequency the radio
displays the strength indicator icon
while
the radio LED blinks rapidly. The radio signal
strength icon can change from 1 (weakest) to 6
(strongest) depending on the radio reception
coverage. This can help determine when a
radio is moving out of range.
Note:
Obstacles that block the signal path may
affect the strength of the incoming signal.
TALK RANGE
XTNi™ Series radios have been designed to
maximize performance and improve
transmission range in the field. It is
recommended that you do not use the radios
closer than 1.5 meters apart, to avoid
interference.
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 kilometres 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.
