Turning on Your microTALK®Radio
•
To turn on your radio:
1. Rotate the On/Off Volume knob clockwise

®

mode, ready to receive transmissions. The radio
is always in
Standby mode, except when the
Talk, Call or Lock/Mode buttons are pressed.
Battery Low
•
Your microTALK®radio has a battery level meter
that shows when battery power is decreasing.
The greater the number of bars visible, the
stronger the battery level. When the battery
level is low, the last bar and “bALo” will flash
indicating your batteries should be replaced or,
if using rechargeable batteries, recharged.
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

This will not affect the radio’s ability to receive
incoming transmissions.
