Operation
Turning on Your microTALK Radio
•
Rotate the On/Off Volume knob clockwise to turn
on your radio and adjust the volume.
A series of tones will indicate the radio is on.
Your microTALK radio is now in Standby
mode, ready to receive transmissions. The radio
is always in Standby mode, except when the
Talk, Call or Mode/Lock buttons are pressed.
Battery Low
•
When battery power is low, the Battery Low icon
will blink. Your batteries should be recharged or
replaced if using alkaline batteries.
Auto Battery Save
•
Your microTALK radio has a unique circuit
designed to extend battery life. If there are
no transmissions for 10 seconds, the radio will
automatically switch to Battery Save mode and
the Power Saver icon will flash in the display.
This will not affect the radio’s ability to receive
incoming transmissions.
Signal Strength Meter
•
Your microTALK radio has a Signal Strength
Meter that shows the strength of your incoming
and outgoing transmissions. The ascending bars
next to the signal strength indicate the strength
of the signal. The greater the number of bars
visible, the stronger the signal. The fewer
number of bars visible, the weaker the signal.
