Getting Started
Hi, I’m QuickStart and I’m going help you get started.
The Motorola
â
TalkAbout
TM
T6300 radios are durable two-way radios
that allow you to keep track and stay connected to family, friends and
companions. And, when you use the special
scrambling option, you can be sure that your
group’s communications stay private.
But, the T6300 radios offer more than just a
way of keep in touch. They also help you and
your group stay on schedule because a clock,
an alarm and a stopwatch is built into each
model.

The TalkAbout T6310 is a stylish, sophisticated two-
way radio that offers FM stereo reception and weather
information. It’s fun and cool, a great accessory to take
to the beach.
The Talkabout T6320 is rugged and
sporty with special features to help you navigate the
great outdoors. In addition to weather information, it
offers a compass, an altimeter and a barometer.
Accessories ???
But, they all have something in common -- they are all
easy to use. Just take a few minutes to read this user’s gude and
you’re ready to go.

Using the NIMH Battery and Charger
Your T6300 two-way radio can use a variety of Motorola power acces-

An NiMH battery kit, consisting of the NiMH battery, adapter and
