You will find the manual here. The radio is part of the 280 series radios, so there is a general manual on all in that series.

SOURCE: motorola t5720 walkie talkie not transmitting or receiving

To answer your questions: the airport xray should not have harmed them, and there is no reset button.

If you are using the radios with the rechargeable battery pack, it most likely needs replaced. They have a life expectancy of 12-18 months. Here is a link to the Motorola store: http://www.store.motorola.com/mot/en/US/adirect/motorola;jsessionid=B7997F21F6A409F029D6DEC2CB194ADB.mot2?cmd=catDisplayStyle&entryPoint=adirect&catKey=601560&messageType=catDisplayStyle Clean your battery contacts both in the radio and on the battery with a pencil eraser.

There is also a chance the radios are not programmed correctly. Be certain the frequency, interference code eliminator and the Qt filter (if any) are set identical to one another. You indicate you have a manual, I will insert a link here for those who do not, who might read this: http://www.giantintl.com/RadioPDFs/Outdated%20Manuals/T56XX_57XX_User_Manual_E.pdf

Lastly, you may simply have one radio which has failed. It is not likely both would fail at the same time, short of battery issues. The three items listed above are suspect: batteries, programming or one has failed.

Best regards.

SOURCE: Can Receive but not Transmit

1) Double check your interference code eliminator and the Qt filter. Make certain they are all set identical.

2) If you are still having trouble, shut off the Qt filter.

3) Then if you still have trouble shut off the code. (Off is sometimes "zero" or "n" for no.)

4) If the above steps do not help you have either a defective radio, or a bad battery. Switch the batteries out of the working units to the non-working and see if the problem switches to the other units. If so, replace the battery packs. (Note: it takes more battery power to transmit, so the problem would first show up in the transmit area.)

Best regards.

Motorola mh230r 1 works fine the other transmits but won't receive.

Check your programming. It sounds like you have chosen a code number in one radio and the other radio has code turned off (zero).

Talkabout MH230R does not Receive or Transmit on channel, can just Transmit (only clicks when Recieve) when programmed 2 channels higher (i.e. all radios on 5-3, one is on 7-3)

Strange. Could it be any of the radios are from different countries? The channels are not worldwide. For instance, Canadian radios are on different frequencies than USA radios. They look identical.

One of 2 set Motorola MH230R isn't transmuting ring or voice, but receiving is fine. All settings the same. What's I am missing?

Check your batteries. Transmitting (Tx) takes more power than Receiving (Rx). Also, check to see if you have the Qt filter turned on, if so, turn it and all other special features off (zero) and try using the radios in a very basic mode. If you cannot Tx or Rx with good batteries, and all special features turned off, you have a problem with one of the radios.

How can I pair 4 motorola T4500 walkie talkies?

Here is a link to the user guide, choose your model from the pulldown: http://shop.giantintl.com/Manuals.asp

Follow the instructions for programming the frequency and code, making all 4 of your radios match one another. Turn off any other special features, and only add them back in once you have the radios functioning together.

Best regards.

Mh230r

Take the radios back to a very basic setting with all special features turned off. If the radios have a Qt filter check to see it is turned off, and set your Code to zero (off) on both units. Also, check to see your battery is good in both units. Trade the battery with a known good radio to see if the problem moves to the other radio, is a simple test.

Motorola Talkabout MR will not transmit

From reading through your settings, they appear to be identical. Except, I am not certain what Vox 2 is, or B5 0. If the number 2 beside VOX is a setting, you should set it to off or zero. Otherwise, they appear like they should work. (VOX = voice activation, and when enabled will cause a radio to transmit when it hears a sound, voice, etc.)
If you are using an audio device such as an earpiece or headset, be certain you are plugging it in with the radio turned OFF.
Lack of transmit can also be a sign of a bad battery or bad battery connection. You might try swapping the batteries and see if the problem moves to the other radio.
If these are less than one year old, use the number in your user guide to contact Motorola for a possible warranty replacement.

Best regards.

Won't transmit

First I would check the interference code on both radios to see if it is set the same. It is possible you have one set to zero and the other set to another number. This would cause the problem you describe. The interference eliminator is designed to block out transmissions from radios whose settings do not match it.

If all your settings are identical, and you have only 2 radios, it is not possible to tell which one has the problem. You either have one with no transmit or one with no receive. The only way to tell which you have is to get a 3rd radio involved, set to the same settings.
