Email: Full users can also log in using their registered email address. On the login screen, tap the email icon on the right, enter your email, and check for a verification code. Enter that code into your Walt Smart Radio to finish logging in.
Once you have chosen your method of logging in, you will then be required to enter your 4 digit PIN to complete the login process.
Navigating the Radio:
Your radio has a touchscreen that allows you to fully navigate all of your channels.
You can also use the glove friendly buttons at the bottom to navigate.
Use the navigation buttons (up and down arrows) to scroll through your Walt Smart Radio.
Use the back button to take you to your most previous screen. If you ever find yourself lost within the Walt Smart Radio, simply keep pressing it until you’re back on the channel list screen.
Press the circle button to make a selection or confirm an action.
If you press and hold the circle button for about 2 seconds, the screen will turn off and your Walt will enter sleep mode—it will remain powered on to receive incoming messages. To wake your Walt up, simply click the circle button one time.
To power off your Walt completely, press and hold the circle button for approximately 10 seconds until a message appears on the screen that says “Shutting Down.”
Using the Radio:
The Channel List screen shows all channels you have access to.
The channel that is highlighted blue is your active channel.
Pressing the blue PTT button will send your message to the highlighted blue channel.

Once inside, you’ll see a list of messages from that channel, showing who sent each message, when it was sent, and giving you the option to read the transcription or playback the audio.
After entering a channel, it becomes your active channel, meaning any messages you send using the blue PTT button will go directly into that channel.

From here, you can access the Camera, view Details such as who’s in the channel, and easily access media files that have been shared, Favorite or unfavorite the channel, turn notifications on or off, or mute/unmute the channel.
All of these settings are specific to your user profile and will not affect how the channel appears or functions for anyone else in the group.
