Motorola XT420

The Motorola XT420 is a hard-wearing, reliable and easy-to-use Two-way radio that delivers amazing value. Operating on the public access 446 MHz frequency range, you don’t need to purchase a licence from Ofcom to use these handsets, meaning you save money and can get started with them as soon as you take them out of the box.
 
With its crisp and clear audio, this non-display radio is a good fit across a wide range of settings, including construction, retail, manufacturing, hospitality, schools and colleges.
 
The XT420’s multiple features are a perfect fit for these environments. For example, the built-in loudspeaker means employees are able to use their radio in noisy areas. Loud, clear audio output is ensured thanks to Motorola’s advanced radio frequency engineering, supplemented with wind noise reduction.
 
There are 16 channels to choose from. When a user wants to change channels, for example to talk with different work groups, the XT420 announces who they’ve selected, avoiding the necessity of removing the radio from their belt. Channel names can be pre-recorded and saved.
Alternatively, if workers are particularly busy and need to speak to the team while they work, they can opt for voice-operated mode (VOX). This enables them to talk hands-free without having to operate the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button.
 
Because the XT420 uses open public radio frequencies, interference from other users and even eavesdropping are risk factors. To counter this, Motorola has built in 219 privacy codes which help maintain a clear signal and protect privacy.
 
The XT420 delivers reliable performance wherever it is used. A fully charged battery will last for up to 20 hours, supporting staff throughout long, arduous shifts.
 
This hard-working model is able to withstand use in tough conditions, with a highly durable metal diecast chassis that meets military-grade specifications for shock and vibration and IP55 specifications for dust and water ingress. It has also been certified against Motorola’s demanding five-year Accelerated Life Test, which assesses durability over time in conditions that simulate rain, salt fog, blowing dust and temperature extremes.
 
In addition, the XT420 comes with an antimicrobial coating on the chassis which prevents the growth of bacteria and mould. This means handsets can be safely passed between workers at the end of shifts and helps to manage hygiene in environments like restaurants and hospitals.
