Your New Radio Motorola Talkabout T5320, T5410 and T5420 radios operate on Family Radio Service (FRS) designated frequencies. This license-free, short range, twoway radio service was established specifically for family and group recreational use. Use of this radio outside the country where it was intended to be distributed is subject to government regulations and may be prohibited.
Batteries T5320, T5410 and T5420 radios operate with 3 AA alkaline batteries providing approximately 30 hours of use. That is almost 3 hours of talk and over 27 hours of standby time. To Install: 1. With back of radio facing you, flip Battery Cover Latch up to release. Lift cover off. Fig. 1. 2. Insert 3 AA batteries as shown. Fig. 2. 3. Reposition Battery Cover, flip Battery Cover Latch down to secure. Note: Your radio will retain its settings for 10 minutes after the batteries are removed.
Note: Since the channels are shared, your conversations will not be private and you may hear others talking. Belt Clip Motorola T5320, T5410 and T5420 radios come with a swivel belt clip. To Attach: 1. Reinsert housing tabs. 2. Press down to snap cover into place. To Attach: 1. Align belt clip post with hole in the radio back. 2. Gently push until it clicks into place. Fig. 3. To Remove: 1. Push release tab on top of belt clip down to release catch. 2. Pull belt clip from the radio back.
To Communicate Read this manual carefully and make sure you know how to properly operate radio before use.
Talkabout two-way radios have 14 channels. To communicate with others, all radios in your group must be set to the same channel and Interference Eliminator Code. Turn The Radio On: 1. Rotate Power/Volume knob clockwise until you hear a click. Radio will beep and LED Indicator Light will flash to confirm. All icons on the display will light up briefly, then the current channel and code will show. LED will flash every three seconds. 2.
Time-out Timer: The Time-out Timer feature helps extend battery life by preventing accidental transmission. The radio will emit a continuous warning tone after the Push-To-Talk button is pressed for 60 continuous seconds and will stop transmitting. Menu/Lock Button: You can be sure your menu settings won’t be changed accidentally. Just turn on the menu lock by pressing the Menu button for six seconds. Now you’ll see a lock on the display.
Call Tone: The Call Tone gets others’ attention before you start talking. Press Call Tone button and users on your channel will hear your Call Tone. T5320, T5410 and T5420 have 5 Call Tones. Set The Call Tone: 1. With the radio on, press Menu/Lock button three times. Current Call Tone will begin to flash. Fig. 6. 2. Use Scroll buttons to change and hear Call Tone while flashing. 3. Press Menu/Lock or Push-To-Talk button to set new Call Tone.
“Roger” Beep: Whenever the “Roger” Beep Icon appears on your display your two-way radio transmits a unique tone when you finish transmitting. Set “Roger” Beep: 1. Press and hold Scroll + button as you turn on your radio. The “Roger” Beep Icon appears on your display. 2. To disable “Roger” Beep, turn your radio off. Press and hold Scroll + button as you turn your radio back on.
Scan (T5410 Only) By Scanning, you can monitor channels and codes for transmissions and lock in on the one that interests you. More importantly, you can find someone in your group who has accidentally changed channels and is talking during your scan. To start scanning, briefly press and release the Scan/Monitor button. If you activate scan while your code is set to 0, then the radio will check for activity on each channel regardless of the code in use on that channel.
Hands-Free Use (VOX) (T5420 Only) Hands-Free Use With Accessories VOX allows you to transmit “hands-free” by talking while using VOX accessories connected to the radio. To set VOX, plug in your accessory before you turn on your radio. When you turn on your radio, a flashing VOX Icon displays. Your radio will now detect your voice and transmit every time you talk. When you transmit using a VOX headset, you will hear yourself talking through the accessory speaker. This lets you know VOX is working.
Setting Sensitivity Level The sensitivity level allows you to compensate for background noise when using an accessory. By adjusting the sensitivity level up or down, you can minimize the chance of unintended noises triggering a transmission, or increase the microphone’s ability to pick up quiet voices. To set the sensitivity level, press Menu/Lock button as needed, until the VOX Icon and a value of 1 through 3 are displayed. Fig. 8.
Battery Meter: The Battery Meter, located on the front display, is divided into three bars. As power is used, the bars will disappear. Fig. 9. Note: To ensure proper functioning of the battery meter use only alkaline batteries. The meter will not work accurately with rechargeable batteries.
5. To receive, release Push-To-Talk. Care of Your Radio To clean the radio, wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water.
