While they will operate, doing this will cause accelerated deterioration of the batteries and will lead to them having a reduced battery life and eventually, an inability to hold a charge.

With a battery life of 89 hours, you can use this Binatone two way radio all day long without the hassle of recharging time and again. Actually ok just at VERY close range, and mine have lived on the charge base and have suffered no ill effects.This set is very user friendly, has a wide-range and no interference which I was particularly pleasantly surprised about. If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs, you obviously haven't grasped the gravity of the situation.

If possible, swap the batteries from a working walkie talkie to determine if the problem lies with the batteries or the handset itself. I think the kids would need to be 4+ as they need to understand that they have to hold the button down whilst they talk. I've noticed its not just no CTCSS, they don't actually have any squelch control at all, so they're obviously trying to keep it simple.I was loathed to get them mobile phones at such a young age, so this is a great way of keeping in touch when they are playing out near our house, I can keep one of the walkie talkies and they take the other and it gives me extra peace of mind. It comes with a dual rechargeable battery and desktop charger pod and is waterproof up to 1 metre for up to 1 minute making it ideal for use in wet conditions. Whether you need to communicate around the garden or on a camping trip, these radios are a great way to keep in touch. Luckily her 8 year old sister, and 10, 11 year old brothers are more than happy to help her with it (and ask me why I didn't get them a set)!

My lad who is ex-army and spends a fair bit of time out on the moors up here, uses a Motorola walkie talkie, a bit like the set in the link, not too expensive but not a toy also. For convenience, the radio has a belt clip, allowing users to securely attach it to their person or belongings, providing ease of accessibility and ensuring it does not get lost during outdoor activities or work. Seller was willing to send via RM instead of Evri (who have lost multiple items and refused point blank to assist me in any way to recover either the items or provide anything more than a grudging apology by way of recompense), item arrived quickly and in the condition described. I bought it for the 3 year old that I used to au-pair for to encourage her speaking (maybe my English speaking didn't help her french develop too well).

I read a review that it doesn't translate overseas - well they are using it in the Paris suburbs and they have had no problems yet so it must be to do with the radio signals each country uses. Not sure if it is still the case, however, 10 years ago, Motorola made some of the best 2-way radios. The sound quality is very good as well, we have tested them for up to 2 km range and there were no noises or breaking up. The rechargeable battery and battery low indication feature offer convenience, while the belt clip ensures secure attachment for easy accessibility. I bought these walkie talkies as a fun summer present for my 9 and 10 year old children after they broke up from school last week and they haven’t stopped playing with them since!
