How To Talk on a Radio (or Walkie Talkie)

• Your dispatcher or secretary should be referred to as "BASE" when using a walkie talkie.
• Communicate with BASE by saying "[your nick-name] to BASE".
• When receiving a radio call, say "Go Ahead" to indicate you are ready to hear what the other person has to say.

Steps

First, decide who your dispatcher or secretary is. The dispatcher is the person who sends out the calls to a person for what ever event. Label or Nick-Name this person BASE. This Will come in handy later.

Give all the users a radio and a Nick-Name. By Nick-Name, do not label people Momma-bear or Papa-Bear. Remember, you are trying to sound Professional.

When you want to call BASE, you simply say "[your nick-name] to BASE." Example: "Packaging Dept. to BASE."

When your nick-name is being called, you say : "Go Ahead".

The Calling person says or asks what they want to say/ask.

After the conversation is done, the person who called the other person has the option to say and ONLY SAY: "Clear" The other person can repeat this ONLY once.

To call someone other than BASE, just say something like this: [Packaging Dept to Josh] - Josh will then say ["Go Ahead'].

Go Ahead simply means "I'm ready to hear what you want to say".

Example

BASE: Base to Josh

JOSH: Go Ahead

BASE: I need you to come to the front desk to sign a package that just arrived.

JOSH: Roger that

BASE: Clear

JOSH: Clear (optional)
