5 Signs your Radios Need Servicing

Wondering if your walkie talkies need servicing? There are a few signs you could keep an eye out for. Although radio communication equipment are built to last, they’re prone to wear and tear too. That’s why it’s important to look for signs that they need to be repaired or replaced. So, here are a few signs you could look out for.

The Battery Runs Out Faster

Feels like you just charged your device but it’s already run out of juice? If it seems like your device’s battery is running out faster than before, it’s probably because it needs servicing.

Getting serviced would do your battery life good. Our team of skilled technicians can restore your battery to 80% of its original functionality. But in case your battery has run its course, we’d be able to replace it for you as well.

You Can’t Seem to Get in Range

Range issues cause a lot of havoc especially in environments where the team relies heavily on radio communication to move forward. There are a variety of factors that result in range issues. Whether it’s due to power issues, or antenna malfunctions, or terrain changes, what you’re left with is impaired communication & chaos. But if you’re experiencing range issues on your site, don’t worry. Call us and we’ll solve it for you.

It Could Use Some Cleaning

Yes, radios are built to withstand the toughest conditions. But they do tend to get dirty and damaged, especially if they’re constantly exposed to harsh conditions. When they’re constantly used outdoors, exposed to natural elements, dirt tends to build up. Scratches and cracks also tend to develop if the device is handled improperly, which could cause external & internal damage. So, it’s important to inspect the device thoroughly to ensure it’s still operable.

The best way to combat dirt is – cleaning your walkie talkies and other equipment regularly. In case you don’t, our technicians can handle it for you. We’ll make sure they’re as good as new!

The Antenna’s Too Worn Out

As you know, the antenna is an integral part of a radio. It’s essential for the smooth functioning of the device. It’s also one of the most commonly damaged parts of a radio as it protrudes from the handset. Damages to the antenna (like cracks or tears) can disrupt signal reception. So, it might signify that it’s time to get a replacement.

Things are About to Get Busy

The best thing about radios is that they are truly reliable. If your radios cease to function due to any reason, especially when your team’s in the middle of an event, communication would be cut off completely. That would lead to a lot of issues in terms of safety and disruptions in processes. So, while you are gearing up for something big, make sure you get your radios and other equipment serviced, as part of your preparation.
