The Motorola walkie-talkie uses a range of frequencies to transmit and receive messages. There are up to 56 UHF frequencies available on a Motorola walkie-talkie. The frequency chart below shows some of the frequency number and the corresponding bandwidths for transmitting and receiving messages. The frequency may be the same on different Motorola devices, but the bandwidths are sometimes different.
The Motorola walkie-talkie is designed mostly for hikers, campers and other individuals that love being outdoor more than they are indoor. The device can perform a two-way communication (transmission/receiving) with other walkie-talkies but must be connected to other devices on the same transmission channel.
To set the Motorola walkie-talkie frequency, you must ensure that both devices have their batteries inserted and well charged before use.
With your phone turned off, press down the PTT button and the MON button together at once while turning on your device and hold for 2-3 seconds until the radio beeps and displays PROG. Press down the MENU button to identify the preset channel, then use the – or + button to choose the channel you’d love to communicate on.
Once your desired channel is displayed on the screen, press the MENU key. Now, the frequency number should be displayed on the screen then you use the – or + key to choose your preferred frequency number. Some of the frequencies and corresponding numbers are shown above, you can find the complete frequencies on the owners’ manual.
