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

Call or Mode/Lock buttons are pressed.

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.
