Operating Instructions

Turning On/Off and Volume Control

1. To turn on the walkie-talkie, rotate the top-left knob clockwise until you hear a click.
2. Continue rotating the same knob to adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
3. To turn off, rotate the knob counter-clockwise until it clicks off.

Channel Selection

The RT27 features 16 channels. To communicate, all walkie-talkies must be set to the same channel.

1. Rotate the top-right knob to select your desired channel (1-16).
2. Ensure all radios intended for communication are on the identical channel.

Transmitting and Receiving

1. To transmit, press and hold the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button on the side of the walkie-talkie. Speak clearly into the microphone.
2. Release the PTT button to receive.

VOX Function (Hands-Free Operation)

The RT27 is equipped with a VOX (Voice Operated Exchange) function, allowing for hands-free communication.

1. To activate VOX, refer to the specific programming instructions (usually requires programming software, not directly on the radio).
2. Once activated, the radio will automatically transmit when it detects your voice, eliminating the need to press the PTT button.
