For the Best Possible Performance
•   We recommend the use of alkaline batteries for longer life.
•  Do not mix old and new batteries.
•  Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or 

rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.

•   Batteries are to be inserted with correct polarity.
•   Remove exhausted batteries from the unit.
•  Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable 

batteries.

•  Remove the rechargeable batteries from the unit 

before charging.

•   The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
•   Batteries should be removed if the item will not be 

used for an extended period of time, such as a month 
or longer, to prevent battery leakage or damage.

•   Rechargeable batteries should only be charged under 

adult supervision.

•  Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as 

recommended are to be used

Walkie Talkies can be used for all kinds of fun games 
and activities. Here are two suggestions:

Hide and Seek
Just like regular Hide and Seek, but with a twist: the 
“Hider” can send clues to the “Seeker” using the Walkie 
Talkies.

Mystery Sounds
Can you recognize the mystery sound?  One kid sends 
a sound over the Walkie Talkies, while another tries to 
guess what the sound is.  Examples can include an 
animal, song, TV show, or anything else! 

It is important to keep the Walkie Talkies as dry and 
clean as possible.  You may clean the cabinet with a 
cloth or sponge moistened with mild soap and water.  
Do not attempt to use strong cleansers or solvents, as 
they may cause damage. 

•  Both Walkie Talkies must be turned on and have 

their antennas pointing upwards in order to send 
and receive messages (speak and listen).

• Messages cannot be received while the Talk 

Button is being pressed. Release the Talk Button 
to listen.

•  Messages can be heard through the Speaker.

If you experience any of the following problems please 
insert 3 fresh new AAA (R03) batteries into each unit.

1. If one or both of the Walkie Talkies do not work, this  
    may indicate that the batteries are weak.

2. If the signal range of the Walkie Talkies decreases  
    notably, this may indicate that the batteries are weak.

Please keep in mind that this product does not 
transmit well through obstacles such as trees, 
buildings, and metal structures.

If there is a sizable increase in static, it may be due to 
the proximity of electric motors, fluorescent lights, power 
lines, or other signal-disrupting objects.  You may have 
to change your location.

• Press the SFX Button to hear speech and sound effects! 

• Press the Repeat Button to replay the sound effects. 

• Hold down the Talk Button while pressing either the SFX    
  Button or the Repeat Button to send sound effects to  
  the other Walkie Talkie!
