2. Use a small screwdriver to open the battery compartment cover.
3. Insert 4 AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.

Operating Instructions

• To turn on: Press and hold the On/Off button (usually labeled with a power symbol or 'MENU') for approximately 5 seconds until the screen illuminates.
• To turn off: Press and hold the On/Off button for approximately 3 seconds until the screen turns off.

Setting Channel and CTCSS Sub-code

For communication between multiple walkie talkies, all units must be set to the same channel and CTCSS (Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System) sub-code.

1. With the walkie talkie powered on, press the MENU button (often the same as the On/Off button, or a dedicated 'MENU' button) to enter the channel selection mode. The channel number on the display will flash.
2. Use the Up (▲) and Down (▼) arrow buttons to select your desired channel.
3. Press the MENU button again to enter the CTCSS sub-code selection mode. The sub-code number will flash.
4. Use the Up (▲) and Down (▼) arrow buttons to select your desired sub-code.
5. Press the MENU button one more time, or wait a few seconds, to confirm your selection and exit the menu.

Adjusting Volume

The volume can be adjusted using dedicated volume buttons or by using the Up (▲) and Down (▼) arrow buttons when not in menu mode. Refer to the icons on the buttons for specific functionality.

Using the Flashlight

Each walkie talkie includes a built-in flashlight for convenience in low-light conditions.

• To receive a call: Release the PTT button.

Call Tones

The walkie talkies offer 10 different call tones. To select a call tone, enter the menu mode and navigate to the call tone setting using the arrow buttons. Press the Call Tone button (often indicated by a music note icon) to send a selected tone to other walkie talkies on the same channel.

Range Information

The walkie talkies can achieve a range of up to 3 miles in open areas. However, the actual communication range is highly dependent on environmental factors such as terrain, weather conditions, and obstructions (e.g., buildings, dense foliage). For best results, use in open, unobstructed environments.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the walkie talkies with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and store the units in a cool, dry place.
• Battery Care: Replace all batteries at the same time. Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
• Water Resistance: The walkie talkies are water-resistant, but not waterproof. Avoid submerging them in water.
