10. Notes for Good Communication 1.The PMR446 radio channels are shared on a 'take turns' basis. This means other groups may be talking on any of the channels. A common code of courtesy is to switch to another vacant channel and not to attempt to talk over someone who is already using the channel you first selected. 2.The Tectalk Smart has been designed to maximize performance and improve transmission range in the field.
. Troubleshooting If you have problems with your Radio, reset your unit by turning it off and removing the batteries. And re-insert the batteries and turn the unit on again. Check the battery power level since in many cases low batteries cause problems such as no transmission, weak receiving signal and low sound. 13.
