How it's used
Professional settings like construction sites, security teams, and event management rely heavily on this device for instant coordination. Unlike mobile phones, it does not require a cellular network, making it essential for outdoor activities or areas with poor reception. It is common to hear users finish their transmissions with the word 收到 to confirm they have heard the message clearly.
