Commonly Asked Questions

WALKIE QUESTIONS

How Often Should I Charge My Battery?

After 8 hours use of a fully charged battery, charge overnight.

Are the Radios Waterproof?

No, they are not waterproof. We also highly discourage the “Ziploc method” – the radio frequencies cause the plastic to burn, which leads to disastrous results. Walkie water bags are specially made out of a different material – contact Rockbottom about renting some.

If I Have a Personal Radio, Can It Be Used With the Rentals?

No, we issue different specific frequencies to every customer.

Will My Radio Work Without an Antenna?

No, it will not.

We're Midway Through Shooting - Can I Add a Walkie Repeater?

Yes, but keep in mind that walkies must be specially tuned for use with a repeater. If you think you will need a repeater for your project, please alert us at the start of production. Otherwise, we will have to recollect AND retune all of your walkies, and you will incur a charge for this service.
