the volume level. Rotate the control counter-clockwise to reduce the volume
level and to turn the radio off.

Transmitting and receiving a call

and Privacy Code.
To transmit a call:
1 For maximum clarity, hold the radio two to three inches from your mouth.
2 Press and hold the PTT button and speak in a normal voice into the
microphone. The TX icon appears continuously on the LCD display while
transmitting.
3 To receive a call, release the PTT button. The RX icon appears on the
display when your radio is receiving a transmission.
A
BOUT RANGE
Your Insignia radios are designed to give you maximum range under optimum
conditions.
Optimum Conditions are:
• Over water
• Open rural areas without obstructions
• Flat areas where you can see the other person
To ensure you get maximum range:
• Be sure to use fresh or fully charged batteries. Low batteries will cause
low power conditions.
• Be sure you are on a GMRS channel. FRS channels are restricted by the
FCC to low power.
• Be sure to set your radio to use Hi power. The radio is automatically set to
Low power to preserve battery life.
