4. Walkie-talkie operation

4.1. Charging the device

Please fully charge the integrated battery once before using the device for the first time.
Your walkie-talkie can be charged using the supplied charger stand.
1. Plug the Micro-USB power supply into the charger stand.
2. Connect the power supply to the mains outlet.
3. Plug the walkie-talkie into the charger stand.
4. Make sure the battery sits securely in the charging tray. When the battery is charging, the
status LED on the charging stand glows red.
5. Normally, the device requires approx. 3-4 hours to be fully charged. When it is fully charged,
the status LED turns green.
Please note: A new battery or a battery that has been stored longer than 2 months will not reach full
capacity the first time it is charged. It will reach full capacity after two or three full charging cycles.
4.1.1. Low battery status warning:
If the battery charge drops to a low level, you will hear a warning beep every 5 seconds. Be sure
to charge the device to continue using it.

4.2. Connecting a headset/loudspeaker microphone

Plug the headset into the "Speaker/Mic" socket on the right-hand side of the walkie-talkie. The radio
supports headsets with 2.5 mm stereo plug (Albrecht / Midland norm). If you connect the headset
after the device is turned on and the set volume is above 50%, the volume will automatically be
reduced to protect your hearing.
Please note: The Tectalk Outdoor is not completely waterproof anymore, when external accessories
are connected to it. Please ensure that the rubber cover over the headset socket is closed when no
external accessories are connected to the device.

4.3. Available channels

The walkie-talkie operates on 16 license-free PMR446 channels. Older walkie-talkies support only 8
PMR446 channels. If you want to use the Albrecht Tectalk Outdoor with an older 8-channel walkie-
talkie, you need to use the first 8 channels of the Tectalk Outdoor. These channels are compatible
with all walkie-talkies.
