FAQs
Does the T82 Extreme float in water?
No, the T82 Extreme is weather-resistant (IPx4) but is not designed to float or be submerged.
Can I use the radio while it is charging?
It is recommended to turn the unit off while charging to ensure the battery reaches its full capacity efficiently.
Are these radios compatible with other brands?

How do I turn on the torch?

What is the benefit of the hidden display?
The hidden display keeps the device profile slim and prevents screen scratches during transit, appearing only when you interact with the radio.
How many units can talk at once?

Troubleshooting

Ensure both radios are set to the same channel and privacy code, and confirm that the volume is turned up.

Check that the battery contacts are clean and free of corrosion. If using AA batteries, ensure they are high-quality alkaline cells.
