Important Information on Safe and Efficient Operation

Read This Information Before Using Your Radio.

The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information in user guides published prior to December 1, 2002.

Transmit and Receive Procedure

Your two-way radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the general population/uncontrolled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedure:

•Transmit no more than 50% of the time.

•To transmit (talk), press the Push to Talk (PTT) button.

•To receive calls, release the PTT button.

Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring standards compliance).

Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy

Your Motorola two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:

•United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part J

T5500, T5550 specifications

The Motorola T5550 and T5500 are two prominent models of two-way radios, highly regarded for their performance and reliability in communication. Both devices belong to Motorola's extensive lineup of personal and professional communication tools, catering to a variety of user needs, from outdoor enthusiasts to workplace teams.

One of the primary features of the Motorola T5550 and T5500 is their robust range. Both models offer up to 3 miles of communication range under optimal conditions. This makes them an excellent choice for activities like hiking, camping, or coordinating events in open spaces, where maintaining contact with others is crucial.

The T5550 and T5500 are equipped with 22 channels, allowing users to select the clearest frequency for their conversations. This feature significantly reduces interference from other radios operating nearby and enhances clarity. Additionally, they have 121 privacy codes, further minimizing disruptions by enabling users to block out unwanted transmissions.

Durability is another major characteristic of these models. They are built to withstand tough conditions, with a rugged construction that can resist moisture and light impacts. Users can confidently take these radios into varying environments, ensuring that communication remains possible even in adverse conditions.

The models are known for their ease of use. They feature a lightweight design that makes them comfortable to carry during long periods of use.
