Motorola Talkabout T5000 Instructions

The Motorola Talkabout is a 2 way radio released in 2004. The T5000 features a range of up to five miles in ideal conditions and up to one mile in a dense urban setting. The radio has multiple features for easy, secure communication with the touch of a button. The T5000 can be used out of the box after installing the batteries.
Installing Batteries
The T5000 is powered by either three AA alkaline batteries or a rechargeable NiCd rechargeable battery pack. To insert the batteries, hold the T5000 with the back of the radio facing you. Remove the battery cover by lifting the battery latch and pulling up on the cover. Place the three alkaline batteries in the compartment. The left battery is placed with the positive end up, the middle battery is placed with the positive end down and the right battery is placed with the positive side up. Place the battery cover over the batteries and press down to lock it in place.
If you are using the NiCd battery pack, remove the battery cover and slide the battery into place with the contacts facing out from the radio. Place the battery cover over the battery pack and press down to lock it in place.
Turning the Radio On
When the batteries are inserted, turn the control knob on the top of the radio clockwise to power on the device. When turned on, the radio will chirp, and the display will flash all of your feature icons and scroll through the available channels.
