Motorola Talkabout T5400

Here's a link to the manuals http://shop.giantintl.com/Manuals.asp Choose your model from the pulldown

See thoroughly your Radio and you will get the place from where you can replace the batteries or you send me pic of your radio.

Likely not compatible. One thing to try is to make certain the transmitting unit is turned OFF when you initially plug in the headset. Sometimes if a headset is plugged into a radio when it is already ON, the headset will appear to be in VOX (voice activated) mode and will not allow the user to receive. Also, if this headset has an inline PTT, it may not be compatible with the radio and you would need to use the PTT on the radio.

If this doesn't work, you would need to use the TalkAbout headset designed for the MR350.

Best regards.

You need to check your interference eliminator code. It sounds like they are not set to the same code. Also, if your radio has a Qt filter, set it to zero.

The only charger shown as available for the T5400 radio with NiCd battery is the following kit: http://www.store.motorola.com/mot/en/US/adirect/motorola?cmd=catProductDetail&productID=53614&&showAddButton=true

It includes the dual drop-in charger and 2 new batteries. You can order directly from Motorola at the above link.

We are a M dealer and the schematics for the TalkAbout line were never released to the dealer channel.

First check your batteries. Try the battery pack from a known good radio. If you do not have a battery problem, your issue is probably non-reversible. Sorry. This style radio is non-repairable. The repairable Talkabout units include the Distance, Distance DPS, the TA-7400 and TA-7200.

I have seen some problems with new out of box radios, one of them is out of frequency and recieve with noise and works with low range coverage. I can not clarify what you mean with feed back, check if you set in low volume if the radio works fine. That will tell you that the speaker or the Synth circuitry has a problem. Neto.
