800/900 MHz is a separate hardware option, not continuous coverage of every frequency between those numbers. Intrinsically safe use requires the approved radio, battery and accessory combination.

Common buying questions
What is the difference between Capable and Enabled?
These identify the supplied feature package, independently of the display. Have us confirm the exact order code and required connectivity, location, safety functions and system support. Additional entitlements or infrastructure may be required; do not assume every function is active on every R7.
Can display and non-display R7 radios communicate?
Yes, with compatible band, mode, system access and programming. They do not need identical front-panel controls.
Should I choose UHF or VHF?
Start with the frequency band and channel plan used by your existing system. UHF and VHF are separate hardware choices and cannot talk directly to each other. For a new system, ask us to review the building, outdoor areas and coverage requirements before choosing.
What comes with each portable radio?
Each radio includes one battery and one individual charger. Multipacks include individual chargers; a multi-unit charger is included only when the selected package specifies it. Check the exact pack contents before ordering.
Is programming included?
Radio programming is available at no charge. Tell us which existing radios and channel settings you need to match, and request programming when ordering. Programming cannot add unsupported hardware or system features.
