,
,
or
enabling
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.
Noise Filtering
The
noise-filtering feature helps to ensure uninterrupted
communication with other Motorola Solutions 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:
noise filtering is not available when the radio is
scanning.
noise filtering is not available when
extended battery save is set to L1, L2 or L3. In

Code as the other radio.
2.
Press
to send a call tone. This allows your voice to
pass through the
noise filter on the receiving radio.
3.
Press the PTT button and speak normally.
Note:

filter. When radio goes to idle,
will need to be pressed
again to allow communication to pass through.

Emergency Alert Mode
The Emergency Alert feature can be used to signal members in
your group of your need for urgent help. T4XX series radios will
operate in an automatic “hands-free” emergency control mode
for a total of 30 seconds after activating the Emergency Alert.
T4XX 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, T4XX 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 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.
Note:
All Motorola Talkabout EM, MJ, MR, MT, MU and T4XX
series radios (except for model T400) are fully compatible
with the Emergency Alert feature. Radios other than EM,
MJ and 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.
Built-in LED Flashlight with Power Outage Function
Press the flashlight button to turn and keep the light on. Press
the flashlight button again, the light is off.
Note:

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 settings) 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 the
PTT button 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 the
PTT button 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
.
Scanning Notes:
1.
If you press the PTT button 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 turn 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 that code, exit scan and
set that detected code on that channel to permanently use
the detected code.
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.
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 Weatheradio logo provide an
endorsement or implied endorsement by Environment
Canada.

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.
