* Your KidiTalkie will achieve the maximum operating range when
communicating in flat open areas with no trees or buildings
to obstruct the signal. Under these ideal conditions, you may
achieve range up to 200m/650’ range.
The following conditions tend to reduce the range:
• One or both walkie-talkies are being used indoors.
• There are large obstructions such as buildings, trees, vehicles,
hills, etc. between radios.
• The batteries are running low.
