Hands-Free Use With Accessories (
)
You can transmit hands-free more reliably with the use of optional
headset accessories. Once VOX is turned on, the radio detects your
voice and transmits when you speak.
Many accessories (sold separately) are available for your radio. For
more information, visit our Web site at www.motorola.com or
shop.giantintl.com.
1. Turn the radio off and plug the VOX accessory into the accessory port.
2. Turn the radio on. VOX shows on the display.
3. Adjust the volume appropriately by rotating
. Lower the volume
before placing the accessory on your head or in your ear.
4. To turn off, simply remove accessory.
Note:
There is a short delay between the time you start talking and when
the radio transmits. There is a short delay before the transmission is
completed.
Setting the Sensitivity Level When in
Mode
Adjusting the radio’s sensitivity level helps minimize the possibility of
unintended noises triggering a transmission and helps the radio pick up
soft voices.
1. Press
until VOX and the level setting (1 - 3) appear on the
display.
2. Press
or
to select the sensitivity level.
3. Press
to set or
to continue set up.
3 = High Sensitivity
for quiet environments
2 = Medium Sensitivity
for most environments
1 = Low Sensitivity
for noisy environments
Note:
When you connect a headset, the radio is automatically set to the
last chosen sensitivity level.
Extended Battery Save
This feature puts the radio into a low power "sleep" mode for cycle
periods of 1, 2, or 3 seconds. The radio will briefly check for any channel
activity after each sleep cycle. The sleep cycle repeats until a key is
pressed or a call is received.
1. Signals received during the sleep period will not be heard until after
the timer period expires. The first 1-3 seconds of speech can be
missed. Do not use
(battery save) 1, 2, or 3 settings when
immediate response may be required.
2. SCAN, VOX, iVOX, and Q
T
modes are not available with extended
battery save modes. Using SCAN, VOX, iVOX, or enabling Q
T
will
necessarily disable the extended sleep cycle battery settings.
3. Maximum battery life savings may be achieved only when usage is
primarily in standby mode and very little TX or RX (talking or
listening) use occurs. When RX or TX are often used, little or no
battery life extension will occur.
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 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
and extended battery save modes on or off:
1. Press
until Q
T
and
displays. The current setting ON/OFF and
0, 1, 2, 3 will display.
2. Press
or
to select one of the following settings for Q
T
and
extended battery save mode:
3. Press
to confirm your selection or
to continue set up (or
wait 5 seconds).
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.
VibraCall
TM
Alert
VibraCall
TM
is a vibrating alert that notifies you that your radio is

Special Features
Emergency Alert Mode
The Emergency Alert feature can be used to signal members in your
group of your need for urgent help. MR series radios will operate in an
automatic “hands-free” emergency control mode for a total of 30
seconds after activating the Emergency Alert. MR 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, MR 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 Confirmation
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 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.
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.
4. To restore the removed channel(s) to the scan list, turn the radio off
and then back on, or exit and re-enter the scanning mode by
pressing
.
5. You cannot remove the home channel from the scan list.
6. In Advanced Scan, the detected code will only be used for one
transmission. You must note the code, exit scan, and set that
detected code on that channel to permanently use the detected code.
Weather Receiver
Your radio can tune in to broadcasts by the United States National Oceanic
and 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

may contain static or noise. Weather Alert will not function while actively
transmitting or receiving in two-way mode.
