I have 2 t5420 talkabout radios. I have missplaced the operators manual for them. In addition 1 of the radios fails intermittanly. How can I obtain an immediate copy of the operators manual?

Here is a link to the user guide for the T5420 http://content.giantintl.com/manuals/Moto/T5320_T5410_T5420_User_Manual_E.pdf
Programming instructions start around page 15.

Best regards.

Check to see your interference eliminator code and Qt filter (if any) are set identical among your radios. For basic operation, set these to off (zero).

Best regards.

Since you say the frequency is set the same, you possibly have the code set differently. Check your interference eliminator code. It must be set the same on all radios. For basic operation turn the code off (zero).

The only way to really reset this is to remove the power/battery for 8 hours, press power button for 3 seconds, then wait 1/2 hour. Then try it again.

If you need a manual for this radio, you can view it here:

http://www.motorola.com/mdirect/manuals/T5320_T5410_T5420_User_Manual_E.pdf

motorola has extra security and will not operate with other radio makes very well. It must be locking out the uniden radios.

You can find the manual here http://www.giantintl.com/motorolafrsold.htm by using the menu to select your radio model.

You most likely will need to program your radios to match one another. Pay special attention to the interference eliminator code and the the Qt filter (if any). Both radios must match perfectly to communicate.

google this :manual for Motorola talkabout t5420.

On the bar just below the web address there is an icon of a floppy disk that says "Save a Copy" next to it. Click on that. A window will open and you can direct it to your Documents , Desktop, or other folder.

You possibly have the "code" set differently on one unit. Check your programming, including the Qt filter, if any. Here is a link to the user manual: http://www.giantintl.com/RadioPDFs/Outdated%20Manuals/T5320_T5410_T5420_User_Manual_E.pdf

I have not looked up the T5420 user guide, however, on most Motorola TalkAbouts you hold in the minus (-) button while turning the radio on. Post back if this doesn't work, and we'll find the manual for you.
