Introduction

The built-in 1500mAh battery in this walkie-talkie for adults has a 12-hour conversation time and a 50-hour standby period. The robust plastic shell constructed of PC material is appropriate for long-term use in demanding situations and can withstand some impact and wear.

When you speak, Vox can detect the volume of the background noise and send it automatically without you having to explicitly push the send button. To make the walkie talkie sound, change the machine noise value and signal intensity to suit your demands. This is a feature for encryption. The radio transmits encrypted voice. Only the walkie-talkie that is aware of the precise decryption parameters can demodulate the content in the right way.

Channel switching is managed by the knob on the left. To rise from 1 and decrease clockwise, turn the channel counterclockwise. The switch and volume of the walkie-talkie are adjusted with the knob on the right. High-quality speakers that are integrated into the radio enable crisp walkie-talkie communication. You can still speak with others clearly even in a hostile or noisy environment. These two-way radios can be used in a variety of settings, including construction sites, business hubs, hotel receptions, restaurants, etc. They are also appropriate for outdoor activities including sports, hiking, camping, and self-guided tours.

Battery Information

Battery on First Use

Since batteries leave factory without a fully charging, please charge the new batteries before using. Under normal circumstances, the battery on first use needs 5 hours of charging. The first three times of fully charging and discharging provides batteries the best capacity. When you find out the battery is low, it is required to charge or replace it.

Compatible Battery Type

Please use the specific battery for the use of other batteries may cause explosion, resulting in bodily injury.

Safety Precautions

1. Do not dispose the batteries in the fire.
2. Do not dispose the batteries as household wastes, and it must be collected and treated properly.
3. Do not rip off the shell from the battery without permission.pyp

Notes:

1. When charging, the temperature should be between 5℃~40 ℃,otherwise it may cause the leakage or even damage the battery.
2. Please shut down the transceiver with battery loaded before charging it. The use of the transceiver while charging is ongoing will affect the normal battery charging.
3. Do not put back and charge the battery that is already full, for it will significantly reduce the cycle life.
4. Since continuous charging will shorten the life of the battery, it is unwise to place the transceiver or battery on the charger, or take the charger as a placement seat for the transceiver.
5. Do not charge the battery when it is wet. You should dry it first in order to avoid any danger.
6. If the battery’s usage time is very short even when it has been charged in completely correct way, it can be concluded that the battery life is due and should be replaced by a new one.

Extension of Battery life

1. The performance of the battery will be reduced when the temperature drops below 0℃. In cold weather, it is advised to spare another battery for emergency. Please do not dispose the cold batteries that cannot work at low temperature but may be usable at room temperature.
2. It may affect the normal use or charge of the battery, if it is covered with dust. Please clean the battery with dry cloth before loading or charging it.

Knowledge about Battery Storage

1. Since the battery will self-discharge, please do charge it fully before putting it aside so as to prevent damages caused by over discharge. Please take out the battery after storage for some time to fill it, in order to avoid the reduction of the battery capacity resulting from over discharge. It is proposed for lithium-ion / lithium-polymer batteries to be filled in every 6 months of storage.
2. Please pay attention to the humidity of the battery storage environment. Batteries are supposed to be stored in the environment of room temperature, cool and dry air, to reduce the self-discharge.

Installation/Removal of the Battery
