5. Maintenance
- Keep the walkie talkies clean by wiping them with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Store the radios in a dry place away from extreme temperatures.
- Ensure the charging ports are free of dust and debris.
- The robust ABS material provides drop protection, but avoid excessive force or dropping from significant heights.
6. Troubleshooting
For common issues, refer to the following:
- No Power: Ensure batteries are correctly installed and charged.
- Poor Audio Quality: Check volume levels. Ensure you are on the same channel and privacy code as the other party. Obstacles can reduce clarity.
- Limited Range: The effective range depends on terrain. Open water offers up to 5 miles, while mountainous or urban areas may reduce range significantly. Metal rooms can block signals.
- Battery Draining Quickly: Ensure batteries are fully charged. Reduce backlight usage or iVOX sensitivity if not needed.
