6. Troubleshooting
1. How to ensure that all walkie talkies can communicate smoothly?
- Make sure the main channels and interference eliminator codes of all walkie talkies are the same.
- Ensure all walkie talkies are within the transmission distance. The range can reach up to 4.8km (3 miles) in an absolutely open area.
If the surrounding buildings are dense or there is significant electromagnetic radiation interference, it may affect communication. Change to another location for better performance.
2. How to make the battery last longer?
- When the walkie talkie is not in use, please turn off the device.
- If the walkie talkies are close to each other or when there is less interference, switch the TX power setting to 'LO' (refer to section 4.7).
- Set a more reasonable volume level based on your current surroundings.
