Caring for Your microTALK

®

 Radio 

 

Your microTALK

®

 radio will give you years of trouble-free service if cared for 

properly. Handle the radio gently. Keep the radio away from dust. Never put 
the radio in water or in a damp place. Avoid exposure to extreme 
temperatures.

Installing Batteries 

1. Remove Holster by releasing the belt clip latch and 

slide the holster downward.

2. Unscrew 2 screws at bottom with a proper 

screwdriver, then open the battery compartment 
cover. Connect the connector of the battery to the 
socket of the radio inside the battery compartment.

3. Place the battery inside the battery compartment and 

align the wire as shown.

  (Make sure the wire does not block the screw holes)
4. Replace the battery compartment cover, screw down 

the screws mildly.

  (Screw nuts may be damaged if applying too strong 

force when tightening)

5. Re-attach the holster

To charge batteries in radio:
1.

 Check to see that the batteries have been    

 inserted  properly. 

2.

 Insert the cable into the charge jack located at the left 

side of the radio. 

3.

 Plug the cable into USB-compatible power port.

Only use the supplied rechargeable batteries and desktop charger for
