Q
T
Noise Filtering
The Q
T
noise-filtering feature helps to ensure uninterrupted
communication with other Motorola radios that have this feature.
This feature also filters out unwanted transmissions from other
radios. This is useful in places where there is heavy radio traffic,

the other radio.
2. Press to send a call tone. This allows your voice to pass
through the Q
T
noise filter on the receiving radio.
3. Press and speak normally.
Note: If you skip step 2, the beginning of your message may not be

T
noise filter.

Special Features
Emergency Alert Mode
T
he Emergency Alert feature can be used to signal members in your
group of your need for urgent help. MT series radios will operate in an
automatic “hands-free” emergency control mode for a total of 30
s
econds after activating the Emergency Alert. MT series radios in your
group will automatically advance the speaker volume to the maximum
s
etting 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
g
roup. 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, MT series radio controls and
b
uttons 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 after the LED Indicator glows red 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
v
oice or incidental sounds will be transmitted. The LED indicator will
c
ontinue to glow for the duration of the 22 second period.
4. After 30 seconds your radio speaker will emit a Talk Confirmation
Tone and the LED Indicator will extinguish. Operation then returns to
normal two-way mode.
Note: All Motorola Talkabout EM, MJ, MR, and MT series radios are fully
compatible with the Emergency Alert feature. Radios other than EM, MJ,
MR, and MT series can receive the emergency alert signal, but will not
respond with adjusted volume settings, locked controls, or a warbling
alert tone. Users of other radio models set to the same channel and
Interference Eliminator Code will hear a steady tone for 8 seconds
followed by the voice transmission for 22 seconds.
Warning: The Emergency Alert feature should only be used in the event
of an actual emergency. Motorola is not responsible if there is no
response to the emergency alert from the receiving group.
Built-in Flashlight
Press and hold the flashlight button to turn and keep the light on. The
switch functions as a momentary control for the light.
Note: Turn off the flashlight when not in use to conserve battery power.
Keypad Lock
To avoid accidentally changing your radio settings:
1. Press and hold until displays.
2. When in lock mode, you can turn the radio on and off, adjust the
volume, receive, transmit, send a call tone, and monitor channels. All
other functions are locked.
To unlock the radio, press and hold until is no longer displayed.
Scanning Channels
Use scan to search the 22 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 2 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 22 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 setting) is scanned more often
than the other 21 channels, and your radio will respond quickly to any
activity occurring on the home channel as a priority.
To start Scanning:
1. Briefly press the key. The scan will appear in the display, and the
radio will begin to scroll through the channel and code combinations.
2. When the radio detects channel activity matching the channel and
code combination, it stops scrolling and you can hear the
transmission.

Weather Receiver
Your radio can tune in to broadcasts by the United States National Oceanic
a
nd Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio and Environment
Canada Weatheradio.
You can listen to a weather channel (see “Weather Channels and
Frequencies” table below) 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.
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 or
www.msc.ec.gc.ca/msb/weatheradio in Canada to view the appropriate
transmitter for your area.
The use of the NOAA logo does not provide an endorsement or implied
endorsement by NOAA’s National Weather Service, nor does the use of the
Weatheradio logo provide an endorsement or implied endorsement by
Environment Canada.
Turning Weather Channel Reception On and Off
1. To turn weather reception on, press and hold for 3 seconds.
2. To turn off, press or turn the radio off and then back on.
Setting the Weather Channel
Your radio receives weather frequencies:
1. After turning weather reception on, press . The current
channel flashes.
2. Press or to select the appropriate channel with good
reception in your area.
3. Press to save the weather channel setting.
Setting the Weather Alert
Your radio can be set to respond to NOAA Weather Radio emergency
messages. A special alarm tone sounds an alert and turns on the
weather receiver to give you immediate weather and emergency
information.
1. After turning weather reception on, press twice. On/Off displays.
2. Press or to select On/Off. If you activate Weather Alert and
return to two-way mode, will display.
3. Press to save the Weather Alert setting.
4. Press to return 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.
