DO NOT use any portable radio that has a damaged
antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with
your skin, a minor burn can result.
To ensure continued compliance with applicable RF
exposure limits, use only Motorola Solutions-approved,
supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, and
accessories.
For a list of Motorola Solutions-approved accessories
please refer to your user manual or visit
www.motorolasolutions.com
Acoustic Safety
Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended periods
of time may temporarily or permanently affect your hearing. The
louder the volume of the radio, the sooner your hearing will be
affected. Hearing damage from loud noise is sometimes
undetectable at first, and can have a cumulative effect.
To protect your hearing, follow these precautions:
•
Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job.
•
Turn up the volume only if you are in noisy surroundings.
•
Turn down the volume before putting on a headset or
headphones.
•
Limit the amount of time you use a headset or
headphones at high volume.
•
When using the radio without a headset or headphones,
do not place the speaker of the radio directly against your
ear.

A. Easy Pairing
The Easy Pairing feature allows a group of radio users to
program all their radios to the same Channel and Interference
Eliminator Code settings quickly and simultaneously. Any one
radio within the group can be designated as the “Leader’s radio”
and have it’s Channel and Interference Eliminator Code settings
transmitted to and copied by all the other radios in the group
(Members’ radios).
1.
Pick any one of the radios as the “Leader’s radio”. On this
radio, program the Channel and Interference Eliminator
Code to the desired settings.(See “Selecting the Channel”
and “Selecting the Interference Eliminator Code” sections
in this user manual).
2.
To copy the channel and Interference Eliminator Code
combination to all the other “Members’ radios”, press and
hold the button on the Members’ radios until you hear a
beep. Release the button after the beep, and wait for the
transmission from the Leader’s radio.

6.
•
•
3.
You will see the
icon blinking on the display. This
confirms that the radio is in Easy Pairing mode waiting to
receive the Channel and Interference Eliminator Code
settings from the Leader’s radio. All Members’ radios will
remain in this mode for 3 minutes.
A group with many radios should have all users take this
step at the same time, so all radios can be programmed in
one go.
On the Leader’s radio, press and hold down the button
until you hear a double beep.
Note:
•
•
•
At the double beep, this radio’s Channel and Interference
Eliminator Code settings will be transmitted, which will be
received and copied by all the other (Members’) radios.
The Leader’s radio must make this transmission when all
the Members’ radios are still in the Easy Pairing mode,
otherwise the transmission will not be picked up.
On the Leader’s radio, user must remember NOT to
release the button on the first (single) beep, otherwise this
radio will become another Member’s radio. If that
happens, you can press PTT to escape, and retry step 3.
B. Location Sharing
Note: All Motorola Solutions Talkabout EM, MJ, MR, MT, MU,
T400, T500, T600, T800 series radio (except for model

Warranty
Consumer Two-Way Radio Products and
Accessories purchased in the United States or
Canada
What Does this Warranty Cover?
Your radio can tune in to broadcasts by the United States
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
Weather Radio and Environment Canada Weather Radio.
You can listen to a weather channel (see “Weather Channels
and Frequencies” table for details) or set your radio to alert you
to emergency weather broadcasts that interrupt routine
broadcasts. When you listen to a weather channel, you cannot
use your radio in scan mode or for two-way communications.
Both NOAA and Environment Canada have transmitters located
throughout the United States and Canada, respectively. These
transmitters broadcast watches, forecasts and other information
24 hours a day.
Subject to the exclusions contained below, Motorola Solutions,
Inc. (“Motorola”) warrants the Motorola branded consumer twoway radios that operate via Family Radio Service or General
Mobile Radio Service (“Products”), the Motorola branded or
certified accessories sold for use with these Products
(“Accessories”) to be free from defects in materials and
workmanship under normal consumer usage for the period(s)
outlined below. This limited warranty is the exclusive remedy of
a consumer, and applies as follows to new Products and
Accessories and purchased by consumers in the United States
or Canada, which are accompanied by this written warranty:
Note: NOAA weather radio stations are assigned to cover
specific areas and service may be limited. Please check
with your local weather office for frequency and details or
visit www.weather.gov/nwr in the US to view the
appropriate transmitter for your area. The use of the
NOAA logo does not provide an endorsement or implied
endorsement by the National Weather Service of NOAA,
nor does the use of the Weather Radio logo provide an
endorsement or implied endorsement by Environment
Canada.
This warranty extends only to the first consumer purchaser, and
is not transferable.

Use scan to search all channels for transmissions from
unknown parties, to find someone in your group who has
accidentally changed channels or to quickly find unused
channels for your own use.
There is a priority feature and two modes of scanning (basic and
advanced) to make your search more effective. The Basic Scan
mode uses the channel and code combinations for each of the
channels as you have set them (or with the default code value of
1). The “Advanced Scan” mode will scan all channels for any
and all codes, detect any code in use and use that code value
temporarily for that channel.
Priority is given to the “home channel”, that is, the channel (and
Interference Eliminator Code) your radio is set to when you start
the scan. This means the initial channel (and code settings) is
scanned more often than the other channels and your radio will
respond quickly to any activity occurring on the home channel
as a priority.
Briefly press the
Scan/Monitor button. The scan
will appear in the display and the radio will begin to scroll
through the channel and code combinations.
When the radio detects channel activity matching the
channel and code combination, it stops scrolling and you
can hear the transmission.
To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press the
PTT button within five seconds after the end of the
transmission.
The radio will resume scrolling through the channels 5
seconds after the end of any received activity.

Scanning Notes:
Note:
The Emergency Alert feature can be used to signal members in
your group of your need for urgent help. T800 series radios will
operate in an automatic “hands-free” emergency control mode
for a total of 30 seconds after activating the Emergency Alert.
T800 series radios in your group will automatically advance the
speaker volume to the maximum setting and sound a warbling
alert tone for 8 seconds. The alert tone is emitted from your own
radio speaker and the receiving radios in your group. After the 8
second alert, any spoken words or incidental sounds at your end
will be transmitted to the group for 22 seconds. For the 30
second duration of Emergency Alert mode, T800 series radio
controls and buttons will be locked to maximize reception of the
emergency message.
1.
Press and hold the Emergency Alert button for 3
seconds.
2.
Release the button and the alert tone begins to sound.
There is no need to continue to hold the Emergency Alert
button or use PTT for your message to be transmitted.
3.
After the alert tone ends you may speak into the
microphone. Your voice or incidental sounds will be
transmitted.
4.
After 30 seconds your radio speaker will emit a Talk
Confirmation Tone. Operation then returns to normal
two-way mode.
5.
If your radio is connected to Talkabout APP when an
Emergency Alert is triggered, S.O.S message that is presaved in your Talkabout APP is sent out to everyone in
range that have Talkabout APP and are connected with
the app. You must have Talkabout APP connected to
receive your S.O.S message. Refer to Talkabout APP in
radio setting to customize S.O.S message.
WARNING: The Emergency Alert feature should only be
used in the event of an actual emergency. Motorola
Solutions is not responsible if there is no response to the
emergency alert from the receiving group.

Note: When the weather channel is activated, either manually
or after receiving an alert, and no buttons are pressed for
5 minutes, the weather mode will automatically revert
back to two-way mode.
As with two-way radio reception, weather channel reception
depends on how close you are to a transmitter and whether you
are indoors or outdoors. Because weather channels are
transmitted without codes, they may contain static or noise.
Weather Alert will not function while actively transmitting or
receiving in two-way mode.
