National Geographic FM Walkie Talkie

Product Information

The "Walkie Talkie Building," a name Londoners have given a distinctively shaped skyscraper near Saint Paul's Cathedral, has been in the news this week after reflected sunlight from its mirrored facade melted the side mirrors and panels on a Jaguar XJ parked on a nearby street. If your walkie-talkie has accidentally been set to transmit mode this can also cause constant beeping. If this is the issue, then you can try disconnecting the microphone and reconnecting it. You should also switch the walkie-talkie on and off a couple of times.

No. In most cases, if you notice any damage to the antenna, the walkie talkie should be replaced or serviced by a professional. Once the antenna is damaged it will cause a significant dip in your radio’s performance. Can You Recommend a Walkie Talkie Set that’s Easy to Maintain?

Ease of use: How easy are the walkie talkies to use? Are they intuitive for younger users? Do you need to hold the button down to talk? Some walkie talkies offer Voice Operated Exchange (VOX) capabilities which enable children to send messages without holding down the button to speak. Instead, the microphone stays on and automatically transmits when it registers a voice. VOX can be helpful for younger children who may struggle or forget to hold down the talk button. Length of range: The range of a walkie talkie is fairly crucial, as it determines how far apart the handsets can be whilst still communicating effectively. Whilst you may find ‘adult’ walkie talkies with a longer range, most children’s walkie talkies have a range of between one and five miles. It is worth remembering however that the range quoted is a maximum, which is more likely to be achieved in wide-open spaces and fields. In built-up surroundings or home environments, the range experienced is likely to be much less. Eco-friendly design: if you use rechargeable batteries (not included), you can charge them directly in the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC walkie-talkies. A micro-USB cable is included for this purpose.

A walkie-talkie is a powerful tool that will help to keep you and your friends and family communicating and connected.

With a range of up to 6 km in open terrain, you can even bridge long distances and have an uninterrupted reception! The Walkie Talkies are small enough for children's hands. But if you need your hands free when romping and exploring in nature, no problem - the practical belt clip and the freehand mode make it possible!Size and weight: They need to be lightweight, portable and where possible, come with the addition of robust and gripped materials to ensure a secure hold, even with small hands. Some children’s walkie talkies also come with lanyards, clips or keyrings, which can help prevent accidental damage or drops when playing. This is exactly the same principle that was used to light the Olympic torch last year," said Simon Foster, a physicist at London's Imperial College. "They used a reflective parabolic bowl to focus the sun's rays on a point and lit the torch."
