for noisy environments
Note:
When you connect a headset, the radio is automatically set to
the last chosen sensitivity level.
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,
such as amusement parks or ski resorts.
Note:
Q
T
noise filtering is not available when the radio is scanning.
To turn Q
T
noise filtering on or off:
1. Press
until
displays. The current setting On/Off will flash.
2. Press
or
to turn noise filtering On or Off.
3. Press
to confirm your selection or
to continue set up.
To transmit to a radio that has Q
T
noise filtering turned on:
1. Select the same channel and Interference Eliminator Code as
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
heard on the receiving radio. For a 30-second period, starting after
the last transmission, all transmissions received on the selected
channel and code will pass through the Q
T
noise filter.
Keypad Tones
You may enable or disable the speaker key tones. You will hear the
key tone each time a button is pushed.
1. Press

Special Features
Emergency Alert Mode
The Emergency Alert feature can be used to signal members in your
group of your need for urgent help. MJ series radios will operate in
an automatic “hands-free” emergency control mode for a total of 30
seconds after activating the Emergency Alert. MJ 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, MJ
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 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 voice or incidental sounds will be transmitted. The LED
indicator will continue to glow for the duration of the 22 second
period.
4. After 30 seconds your radio speaker will emit a Talk Confimation
Tone and the LED Indicator will extinguish. Operation then
returns to normal two-way mode.
Note:
All Motorola Talkabout EM, MJ, and MR series radios are fully
compatible with the Emergency Alert feature. Radios other than EM,
MJ, MR 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 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
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 channels, and your radio will respond
quickly to any activity occurring on the home channel as a priority.
To start Basic 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.
3. To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press
within
five seconds after the end of the transmission.
4. The radio will resume scrolling through the channels five
seconds after the end of any received activity.
5. To stop scanning, briefly press the
key.
To start Advanced Scanning:
1. Set the Interference Eliminator Code to “zero” or OFF.
2. Briefly press the
key. The scan
will appear in the
display, and the radio will begin to scroll through the channels.
No Interference Eliminator Codes will filter what is heard.
3. When the radio detects channel activity with ANY code (or NO
code), it stops scrolling and you can hear the transmission. Any
Interference Eliminator Code that may be in use by that party
will be detected and displayed.
4. To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press
within
five seconds of the end of the transmission. The radio will
transmit using the newly detected Interference Eliminator Code.
5. The radio will resume scrolling through the channels five
seconds after the end of any received activity.
6. To stop scanning, briefly press the
key.
Scanning Notes:
1. If you press
while the radio is scrolling through inactive
channels, the transmission will be on the “home channel”.
Scanning will resume five seconds after the end of your
transmission. You may press the
key to stop scanning at any
time.
2. If the radio stops on an undesired transmission, you may
immediately resume the scan by briefly pressing
or
.
3. If the radio repeatedly stops on an undesired transmission, you
may temporarily remove that channel from the scan list by
pressing and holding
or
for three seconds. You may
remove more than one channel in this way.
