Operating Time
The communication system determines the radio transmit and receive time (operating cycle time). During
overload, or beyond the systems specifications at high ambient temperatures, the thermal control cuts down
the RF power output, which reduces the radio coverage range.
2.2 Before Power On
Read this section before you power on your radio for the first time.
