To charge a single radio, you can bypass the desktop charger
and simply insert the wall adapter’s round connector directly into
the speaker/microphone/charge jack located on the top of the radio.

Turning on Your microTALK Radio
•

your radio and adjust the volume. A series
of tones will indicate the radio is
on

Your microTALK radio is now in

ready to receive transmissions. The radio is
always in
Standby
mode, except when the
Talk
,
Call
or
Mode/Lock
buttons are pressed.
When battery power is low, the
Battery Low
icon
will blink. Your batteries should be recharged or
replaced if using alkaline batteries.
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.
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.
