Using Your Radio
Turning On Your microTALK ® Radio
•
To Turn On Your Radio:
1. Rotate the On/Off Volume knob clockwise
to turn On your radio and adjust the volume.
A series of tones will indicate the radio is On.
Your microTALK ® radio is now in Standby
mode, ready to receive transmissions. The radio
is always in Standby mode, except when the
Talk, Call or 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 ascending 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
recharged, if using rechargeable batteries.
Auto Battery Save

Your microTALK ® radio has a unique circuit
designed to extend battery life. If there are
no transmissions within ten (10) seconds,

ability to receive incoming transmissions.
