Get to know your Walkie Talkie and all the functions it has to offer.
DID YOU KNOW?
Walkie-talkies have been used for many years. They were first widely used by the military and early models were heavy and bulky. Nowadays they are much smaller and lightweight. Their use spread to the police and fire service and now are used by many people for work or just fun!
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Adults, please take note!
- Release the locking clip and slide the belt clip vertically from the back of the walkie-talkie body.
- Remove the battery compartment door.
- Insert 3 x AAA 1.5V batteries, taking care to ensure the + and – markings on the batteries match the markings in the product.
- Replace cover and belt clip, ensuring that they are secure.
Always remove all old batteries before replacing them with new batteries, and
follow the instructions above.
Always remove the batteries if the product is not to be used for a long period
of time.
Requires 6 x AAA 1.5V batteries (not included).
DID YOU KNOW?
Walkie-talkies wor using radio waves; they are essentially two-way radios. The radios you listen to at home only receive signals, but your walkie-talkies receive and send out signals.
HOW TO USE YOUR WALKIE TALKIES
- To power on, press the ON/OFF button (the walkie-talkies will also switch on automatically when the batteries are installed). They will beep and the display will show the current channel number.
- Press the CALL button once to send a ringing sound (like a phone) to the other walkie-talkie. This alerts the recipient that you want to talk.
- To speak press the TALK button while holding the walkie-talkie approximately 4-5cm from your mouth. Do not hold the walkie-talkie any closer, or speak loudly, as this will cause distortion and make it difficult for the other person to understand what you are saying. Release the TALK button once you have finished speaking. Press the TORCH button to switch on the LED torch on the top of the walkie-talkie. Press it again to turn it off.
- Press the CHANNEL SELECTOR button for 2-3 seconds to change to another channel. The display will change sequentially from 1 to 2 to 3.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- Your walkie-talkies should work up to 3km apart. However, please note that they will work best in an open area. Adverse weather conditions and the environment in which they are being used can affect the range.
- Avoid getting your walkie-talkies wet, as water and damp can affect or damage the electronics.
- Avoid hitting or dropping your walkie-talkies against a hard surface, as this can dislodge electrical components. Your walkie-talkies have been fully adjusted prior to leaving the factory. Do not touch or attempt to modify/adjust the internal components.
- If the sound becomes weak, try changing the batteries, or check the troubleshooting guide below.
- Remember to turn it off by pressing the ON/OFF button for 2-3 seconds (until the display goes blank).
- Keep or store your walkie-talkies in a dry, clean place.

ADVENTURES!
These are great walkie-talkies for outdoor adventures with friends and family. See how far apart you can be and still hear each other. But first, do not forget to tell an adult where you are going! Take them when you go camping, on bike rides, or on long walks.
DID YOU KNOW?
Radio signals are made up of two kinds of waves: ‘sound’ waves, which represent the sounds being sent to the listener, and `electromagnetic’ waves, which travel with sound waves to carry them to your walkie-talkie.
MAKE YOUR WORLD BIGGER
DID YOU KNOW?
When you speak into a walkie-talkie it converts your voice into a radio signal and transmits it to the receiver on the other walkie-talkie. When the signal is picked up at the other end, the walkie-talkie turns it back into speech so your friend can hear it.
