INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this KENWOOD Private Mobile
Radio 446 (PMR446). This KENWOOD product is a precision
device. Treat it with care, and you will enjoy years of reliable
operation.
PMR446 refers to personal short range Private Mobile Radios
for family and friends to keep in touch without the need for a
licence, radio knowledge, or monthly charges. Your
KENWOOD PMR446 is called a "transceiver", meaning
transmitter and receiver.
You can choose from eight preset channels to communicate
with others. For your convenience, Automatic Squelch quiets
your transceiver when you are not receiving calls and Group
Mode keeps your transceiver quiet except for calls you want to
hear. For your privacy, Secret Mode encrypts your messages
so you can talk with your group members without having
others listen in on your conversation.
Your transceiver provides safety and convenience almost
anywhere. The talk range depends on your location; you'll get
maximum distance of up to approximately 3.2 km (2 miles) in
open areas, less in buildings and vehicles.
