2. Attaching Accessories
Attach the earpiece, belt clip, and sling as needed for convenient use.
- Earpiece: Plug the earpiece into the audio jack on the side of the radio.
- Belt Clip: Secure the belt clip to the back of the radio using the provided screws.
- Sling: Attach the sling to the designated loop on the radio for carrying.
3. Powering On/Off
To power on or off the radio, rotate the power/volume knob clockwise to turn on and counter-clockwise until it clicks to turn off.
Operating Instructions
1. Channel Selection
Your radio supports up to 30 channels, including analog and encrypted modes.
- Analog Mode (CH1-CH10): These channels can communicate with other walkie talkies, provided their frequencies are consistent. If frequencies differ, programming software may be required to adjust them.
- Encrypted Mode (CH11-CH16): These channels offer enhanced privacy. In this mode, the radio can only communicate with other ALERVITES AT-WP31D radios set to the same encrypted channel. Other radios cannot scan or decrypt these frequencies.

It specifies that channels 1-10 are Analog Mode and channels 11-16 are Encrypted Mode. A note explains that analog mode can communicate with other walkie talkies if frequencies match, and programming software can be used for adjustments.
2. Transmitting and Receiving
- To Transmit: Press and hold the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button on the side of the radio. Speak clearly into the microphone. Release the PTT button to stop transmitting.
- To Receive: Ensure the radio is powered on and on the correct channel. The radio will automatically receive incoming transmissions.
3. Using VOX Function
The VOX (Voice Operated Exchange) function allows for hands-free transmission.
- When VOX is enabled, the radio will automatically transmit when it detects your voice, eliminating the need to press the PTT button.
- Refer to the radio's menu or specific button combinations (if available) to activate or deactivate VOX.
4. Channel Scanning
To find active conversations, use the channel scan feature.
- Activate channel scan (refer to your radio's specific controls). The radio will cycle through channels until it detects a signal.
- It will pause on the active channel until the transmission ends, then resume scanning.
5. Programming Software
For advanced users who require frequency adjustments or specific configurations (e.g., to enable communication with other radio brands in analog mode), programming software is available. Contact ALERVITES customer support for access to the software and guidance.
Maintenance and Care
1. Battery Maintenance
- Always use the provided charging cable and a compatible USB power source.
- Avoid overcharging or completely draining the battery to prolong its lifespan.
- If the radio will not be used for an extended period, charge the battery to about 50% and store it separately from the radio in a cool, dry place.
2. Cleaning Your Radio
- Wipe the radio's exterior with a soft, damp cloth.
- Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners.
- Ensure the USB-C port and earpiece jack are free of dust and debris.
3. Storage Guidelines
- Store the radio in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Keep the radio away from strong magnetic fields.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ALERVITES AT-WP31D radio, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Radio does not power on. | Battery is depleted or not properly installed. | Charge the battery fully. Ensure the battery is securely attached. |
| Poor communication range or unclear audio. | Obstructions (buildings, terrain), low battery, or incorrect channel. | Move to an open area. Ensure battery is charged. Verify both radios are on the same channel. |
| Cannot communicate with other radios. | Different channels, encryption mismatch, or incompatible radio types. | Ensure both radios are on the same channel. If using encrypted channels (CH11-CH16), ensure both are ALERVITES AT-WP31D and on the same encrypted channel. For analog communication with other brands, frequencies may need to be programmed using software. |
| VOX function not working. | VOX sensitivity too low or function is disabled. | Check radio settings to enable VOX and adjust sensitivity. |
