1. WALkIE-TALkIE MoDE
You can chat with your friends when you are all registered
in the same group.
When you press the Talk Button
, your group number
will appear onscreen.
Make sure you and all your friends are registered in the same group. If
the group numbers are different, you will need to go to the SET-UP menu
to change the group number.
Avoid using the walkie-talkies closer than 6 feet apart. If they are used
too closely they may produce echo or feedback noise.
Press the Home Button
to enter walkie-talkie mode.
To begin speaking, first listen to hear if the channel is in use. If it is in
use, wait until the conversation is finished. When the channel is available
to use, press and hold the Talk Button
. After you have heard the
short “bleep” sound you can start speaking into the microphone. For best
results, hold the unit 2 ~ 3 inches (5-8 cm) away from your mouth. Speak
in a normal tone, do not whisper or yell into the microphone. Only one
person can speak at a time. No one else can speak or send messages
until the speaker has released their Talk Button
.
Release the Talk Button
when you’ve finished talking.
You will hear another “bleep” sound to indicate you are
now in listening mode. When there is no one speaking,
your avatar will appear on the screen. When you are
listening to someone else speaking, their avatar will appear and be
animated on your screen so that you know who is speaking.
You may want to switch groups to avoid interference by other users on the
same channel. Remember to tell your friends when you change groups.
If you are not in the same group, you will not be able to communicate
with one another.
