XACT X33XIF-2, WRISTLINX 2-WAY WRISTWATCH COMMUNICATOR WITH 38 S

Amazon.com Product Description

This pair of WristLinx X33XIF 2-way radios from XACT Communication lets you and a partner can keep in synch and in communication on hikes, shopping trips, and other excursions. Stylish and versatile, the wristwatch-like X33XIF houses both a digital clock and a 22-channel FRS/GMRS 2-way walkie-talkie with a 1.5-mile range and 38 privacy codes.

Voice activation is ideal for hands-free communication--just speak into the microphone and the X33XIF will beam your words directly to any other FRS walkie-talkie user in range. Want a little more privacy? Use the supplied earbud headset with boom microphone. The unit's backlit LCD is clear and easy to read, showing time, use mode, signal strength, and battery strength.

The radio runs on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery (included), which charges when the unit is plugged into its AC/DC power adapter. Running time on a single charge is about 2 hours. Other features include channel scan, call alert, and an electronic volume control. The radio has a 300mW TX power output and 5.2 MHz bandwidth.

What's in the Box
2 WristLinx 2-way radios, 2 rechargeable batteries, 2 battery-charging AC power adapters, 2 wrist/arm straps, 4 total (2 each) exchangeable faceplates, and a user's manual.

Note: The FCC requires self-licensing for use of GMRS channels 15 to 22.

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Awful...I should have listened to the other reviews........2006-03-20

The battery is the problem. I wish I just stayed with conventional walkie-talkies for my sons. Stay away from this product until they fix the problem.

3 out of 5 stars Fantastic Radio - Horrible Batteries.......2005-10-29

The radio worked great for my kids. The range was limited, but better than I expected. It fit good, did not come off, strong case, and even sounded good on both ends. They worked great about 10 times, but then the batteries would not even charge. I have lots of NiCad's and even a timed charging station so they did not get over charged. These special (not to be found anywhere else) batteries are just junk. They are easy to swap, but I am not sure I want to put up with customer service or the price trying to get more.

2 out of 5 stars No Sound.......2005-09-23

They worked well for a few months and now the sound does not come out of either one. Customer service has not been called yet to figure out the problem.

1 out of 5 stars Horrible product, horrible customer service.......2005-08-30

I bought a set of these for my kids for Christmas. They were so excited when they opened them.....that I had to try and get another set when the first didn't work.....and then ANOTHER set after that. This THIRD set worked so-so for a day but the battery life was short. We recharged them once and used them again then when the batteries died again they were put aside. A couple months later the kids wanted to use them again but one of the batteries wouldn't charge. I called customer service where I was rudely told that I needed to buy a new battery from them for $17 and "that's why we sell them", uh-huh, that's what I figured! Even after speaking to a supervisor I was told there was no way they would replace the battery that I needed to either send them in under warranty for $7 or buy the $17 battery. Funny one battery still works fine and the other doesn't but they claim the battery isn't faulty. Whatever happened to good customer service and manners? A sad lesson for my kids.
