Turning On Your microTALK® Radio

1. Rotate the ON-OFF/VOLUME switch clockwise to turn

on the unit (and to

adjust the volume). An audible tone

will indicate the radio is on.

2.Your microTALK® 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

Battery power is indicated by the segments appearing at the bottom of the LCD. As battery power decreases, fewer segments will be visible. When BAT LO begins to flash, the batteries should be replaced. If you are using rechargeable batteries, they should be recharged.

Auto Battery Save

Your microTALK® radio has a unique circuit designed to extend battery life. If there are no transmissions within 10 seconds, the unit will automatically switch to Battery Save mode and POWER SAVER will appear in the display. This will not affect the unit’s ability to receive incoming transmissions.
