OPERATIONAL HINTS

The transceiver's range varies depending on factors such as position,
terrain, and battery condition.  Buildings absorb transmitted signals and,
if they contain metal, might completely block the signals.  Trees and heavy
cloud formations have a similar effect, though not as severe.  If you are
near a lake or the ocean, you might get excellent range.

To ensure maximum range, operate the transceiver with the battery pack 
fully charged.  As the battery voltage decreases, the range decreases.
