NOTICE:
The system (SwMI) determines radio transmit and receive times, which affect the actual radio
operating time.
If the radio overheats (due to high ambient temperature or other factors), thermal protection will
reduce transmitter power, which may lead to loss of communication.
You can attach a colorful o-ring to a radio antenna to distinguish radios from one another.
An RFID knob is available as an optional accessory which allows tracking radios easily. The
knob contains an RFID tag which can be read by handheld scanners greatly enhancing the
speed of radio identification. The knob is a retrofit option and can replace an existing volume
knob.
