Frequently asked questions

What should a daycare radio quote include?

Include the number of people working at the same time, existing radio models, accessories and the areas that need communication. For daycare, identify classrooms, front desk and outdoor supervision and describe their normal working routes.

How should coverage be checked for daycare?

Check indoor rooms, outdoor play areas and staff handovers under normal working conditions. Coverage depends on the site and the selected equipment; discuss a practical coverage check before ordering a fleet.

How do we expand an existing radio fleet?

Start with the exact model numbers, frequency bands, operating modes and programming already in use. Ask the team to confirm compatibility before choosing a new radio or accessory.

How many radios and chargers should we order?

Count concurrent users by shift, then decide which shared roles and spare units are needed. Match charging capacity, batteries and carrying accessories to that plan; check the listed bundle contents before purchasing.
