To program the Retevis RT6 Waterproof Walkie Talkies for long-range communication, please follow the steps below:

1. Turn on the walkie talkie by pressing and holding the power button until you hear a beep sound.

2. Set the desired channel. Use the channel xxxx or arrow buttons to navigate through the available channels. Press the PTT (Push-to-Talk) button to select the desired channel.

3. Adjust the power output. The Retevis RT6 has three power output levels: High, Medium, and Low. Press the power button to cycle through these options and select the desired power level for long-range communication. Keep in mind that higher power levels consume more battery.

4. Set the CTCSS/DCS code (optional). CTCSS (Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System) and DCS (Digital-Coded Squelch) codes help eliminate unwanted interference from other users. Refer to the user manual or the provided code chart to select the appropriate CTCSS/DCS code for your desired communication.

5. Adjust the squelch level. Squelch helps eliminate background noise when no signal is present. Use the squelch xxxx or menu options to set the squelch level according to your preference. A higher squelch level may reduce background noise but also decrease sensitivity.

6. Attach an external antenna (if available). The Retevis RT6 supports an external antenna for improved long-range communication. Follow the instructions in the user manual to connect the external antenna securely.

7. Test the communication range. Find a clear, open area with minimal obstructions and test the walkie talkies' communication range. Keep in mind that the actual range may vary depending on environmental factors and terrain.
