Battery
When battery power is low, the Battery Low icon will blink. Your batteries should be replaced.
Your microTALK is designed to extend battery life. If there are no transmissions within ten (10) seconds, the radio will automatically switch to Battery Save mode and the Power Saver icon will flash in the display. This will not affect the radio's ability to receive incoming transmissions.

Volume
To Adjust The Volume:
