TRAINING ON WALKIE TALKIE

What is a Walkie Talkie?

Walkie Talkie are handheld portable radios that use radio waves to communicate wirelessly
on a single frequency band.

Each battery-powered handset contains a transmitter (which doubles as a receiver), an

antenna for sending and receiving radio waves, a loudspeaker that also often functions as a
microphone, and a 'push-to-talk' button that, unsurprisingly, you push to talk.

A walkie talkie is a two-way radio, which means that unlike a normal radio, it can both
send and receive information. As the same channel is used for both functions, this means
only one person can talk at a time.
How does a Walkie Talkie Work?
 Common problems and How to Fix Them
1) Keep them properly charged at all times. Batteries should be replaced
every 12/18 months to guarantee performance.

2) Poorly-charged batteries can cause other problems like constant radio

beeping or poor performance.

3) Too much background noise meaning you can’t hear a conversation

properly – consider using a walkie talkie with noise-cancelling abilities.
4) Excess static during transmission – could be caused by a dirty
antenna so clean the antenna contacts using a pencil eraser.

5) To keep your walkie talkie safe and ready for use make sure
to keep your battery fully-charged and store the unit in a dry,
well-ventilated place.
