USER TIPS

GENERAL:

The FR-26 is a transmitter/receiver working with radio waves on the 446 MHz band. Its signal transmission can be affected by external influences such as other radiophones, transmitters, wireless phones, etc. When your radiophone is being interfered with or causes interference, simply changing the channel usually solves this problem.

The use of this radiophone is permitted in all the countries of the EU. If you want to bring the FR-26 to countries outside the EU, you should consult the local restrictions on the use of PMR446 equipment.

Don't forget that the signal of the FR-26 can also be heard by radiophones or receivers other than yours.
