Motorola XT460

The Motorola XT460 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.
 
Ideal for use in hospitality, retail, schools and light industry, the XT460 features a powerful loudspeaker, advanced radio frequency engineering and wind noise reduction which delivers powerful, clear audio in noisy environments, be it indoors or outside.
 
The handset is designed for ease of use, regardless of how much experience the operator has with two-way radio. In addition to the main push-to-talk button, volume control and channel selection, it features a simple display with scroll and menu buttons for selecting functions and moving between pre-programmed channel groups.
 
There are a total of 16 channels and, as well as the visual display, the XT460 features channel audio announcement so the user does not always have to look at the handset to know which one they have selected. A tri-colour LED also provides handset status updates.
 
If operatives are busy and receive a call when their hands are full with other things, they can still reply and take part in a conversation using voice-operated mode (VOX) – the handset will automatically switch from receive into transmission mode as soon as it picks up their voice.
 
As an unlicensed two-way radio, the XT460 uses the free-to-access 446 MHz frequency range set aside by Ofcom for open public use. This means you don’t have to buy a licence, helping to keep costs down. It does, however, mean there is the risk of interference from other users on the network and even eavesdropping. For added protection, the XT460 includes 219 privacy codes which help to keep the signal clear and protect privacy.
 
The XT460 is proven and reliable in all use cases, standing up to heavy use. Its durable diecast chassis meets IP55 specifications for dust and water ingress and comes with a special antimicrobial coating which prevents the growth of mould and bacteria – perfect for environments where food is prepared or hand hygiene is of high importance. 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.
 
A fully charged battery will last for up to 20 hours, supporting staff throughout long, arduous shifts.
