swap batteries if does not work this unit should need repair or replace, display blinking can be produced for power failure ( battery, contacts, circuits) or can be a controller issue.

Yes. That is a strong possiblity. Many models of Motorola will emit a tone when not programmed, or by placing the channel selector on an unprogrammed channel.

SOURCE: I have 2 Motorola P110 2 Ch Radios. One powers up

There a a few things which could cause this:

1) You have the radio set to an unprogrammed channel.

2) You have a bad, low or defective battery. (Try switching batteries with the other unit and see if the problem goes away.)

3) Your radio needs repair.

4) Your radio has busy-channel-lock-out activated and you are trying to transmit on a frequency which has activity in your area.

SOURCE: it automatically turn off when press the PTT

This is usually a power problem - if the transmitter cannot draw enough power to operate, it shuts the radio off to prevent circuitry damage. Make sure that you're using fresh, fully charged batteries, and that the contacts on the batteries and inside the radio are clean and free of corrosion.

PTT button on RDV 2020 is hard to push

This problem is typically caused by small component behind the PTT button being cracked or broken. The RDX series radios respond best if the user presses the PTT button in the center versus the top or bottom sections of the button. Once the button becomes hard to press it is best to get the radio repaired. Commonly if the radio remains in use the PTT issue will get worse as the internal PTT component is pressed harder, pushing it further away from the outside button and eventually loosening it from the component board.

Best regards.

Cant sync radios

The MU21CV radio is user programmable. Hold in the PTT button while turning on the radio. It will announce the frequency. Use the PTT button to count it up to the frequency you desire. Press the smaller monitor button to lock in your freq. Then the radio will announce the code number. Once again using the PTT button count it up to your desired code or the word OFF if you are not wanting a code. Then press the monitor button to lock in the code. At this point you can turn off the radio and turn it back on normally (without holding in the PTT). Your radios should be programmed to match one another. If you are still having trouble you may have a radio which needs repair or a bad/low battery.
Best regards.

Change language setting motorola mv22

Hold in the PTT button while turning on the radio. First it will announce the frequency, then press the monitor button once, then it will announce the code, press the monitor button one time again, then if it is equipped with a language choice, you will get to select your language by using the PTT button to walk through the choices, lock in your choice by pressing the monitor button one time. Shut the radio off, then back on without holding in any buttons... you are ready to use the radio.

Best regards.

Motorola walkie

With the radio turned off, hold in the PTT and the Monitor button at the same time. Continue to hold these in while turning the radio on. Wait for the radio to finish making sounds before releasing the PTT and monitor button. Then simply press the menu button to walk through programming each of the features. When you have reached the end of the user programmable features you will notice the radio has a different chirp to signal you are done. Then simply turn off the radio to leave programming mode.

They used to talk to one another but now they don't

Here's your help:

Read out one of your radios by holding in the PTT while turning on the radio. It will announce the Frequency. Then press the Monitor Button and it will announce the code. Press the monitor button again, to leave the code set, and then shut off the radio.

On the second radio: Hold in the PTT button while turning on the radio. It will announce the frequency. Use the PTT to get to the number you need to match the first radio. To lock in the setting press the smaller button, known as the Monitor Button.

This will make the radio announce the private line code number. Using the PTT set this to the code number of your first radio, then press the Monitor Button to lock in your code.

Shut the radio off and turn it on again to begin use.

Working codeplug for MTz 8000

Only from Motorola or a Motorola Service Center. The radio requires all programming to be either programmed by a motorola dealer or by the owner of the the trunking system if they own the software for thier system.
