SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Sept. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in
time for the fall hunting season, Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:
MSI) offers its TALKABOUT® consumer two-way radios and
separate push-to-talk button (PTT) allowing hunters to communicate
wirelessly by pairing with a Bluetooth headset. The Motorola
Talkabout MU350R two-way radios also feature enhanced audio clarity
and battery life capabilities, making it a powerful communication
device for serious hunting and outdoor enthusiasts.
Wireless Clear Connections For Hands-Free
Communication
Hunters can communicate wirelessly without having to worry about
getting tangled up with bulky cords by simply coupling the
Bluetooth-enabled Motorola MU350R radio with a Bluetooth headset.
They can easily monitor their radio channel and press the built-in
PTT button when they need to share important information. For
situations where greater flexibility and unrestricted communication
is needed, the Motorola 1693 Bluetooth PTT button is also
available. The oversized button can be rotated to face any
direction and easily clipped on a vest or discreetly tucked into a
pocket. It connects wirelessly to the MU350R radio and headset,
allowing hunters to easily communicate, while staying focused on
their game for maximum convenience. The Bluetooth headset and 1693
Bluetooth PTT button are sold separately.
The MU350R also features "Talkabout Clear," which enhances sound
quality for clearer transmissions at a higher volume by reducing
distortion with a Class D amplifier. Hunters will also enjoy
greater audio clarity, making it easier to communicate with others
in the field or at camp. For those moments when silence is
especially important, hunters will appreciate the "VibraCall™"
function, which silently alerts them to incoming transmissions by
vibrating without disturbing game.
Enhanced Battery Life, Flexible Charging For Every
Adventure
Serious outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the MU350R radio's
extended battery life capabilities, doubling the amount of battery
capacity with the use of two 1300 mAh NiMH battery packs.
Additionally, the radios provide the convenience of flexible
charging options. They can be charged utilizing a desktop charger,
from a PC when no power outlet is available using a mini-USB PC
cable, or with standard alkaline batteries. The unique design of
the radios uses a high-efficiency wall adapter, which consumes less
power during idle conditions making them Eco smart. The
desktop charger, mini-USB car and PC cables are sold
separately.
