Motorola For RADIUS P110 7.5v 1200mAh NiCd Battery 2-Way Radio Questions & Answers
I have 2 Motorola P110 2 Ch Radios. One powers up
There a a few things which could cause this:
1) You have the radio set to an unprogrammed channel.
2) You have a bad, low or defective battery. (Try switching batteries with the other unit and see if the problem goes away.)
3) Your radio needs repair.
4) Your radio has busy-channel-lock-out activated and you are trying to transmit on a frequency which has activity in your area.
I have new batteries, but the charger is steady
Steady red on the charge indicates the battery is charging. This would not be unusual, as the charge will revert to a trickle charge and have a constant red even after a complete charge cycle. For a brief time when the initial charging is done it will be green, but you'd have to be watching the charger pretty closely to catch it green. (Be careful to have the radio shut off when it is placed on the charger, and especially careful to NEVER press the PTT when it is turned on and charging.)
When you say the radio won't turn on, we are assuming you see no light on the radio. If this is the case, you might check the battery connection to the radio and be certain the battery contacts are not flattened or damaged between the radio and the battery.
You might also check your on/off/volume knob in different positions to see if the volume potentiometer has gone bad. If so, you might have intermittent function of the radio depending on the position of the knob.
Lastly, you might try a different battery on the radio to see if it will work with a different battery, maybe the new battery is not functioning correctly.
Flat rate repair is available for this style radio for around $95.
Best regards.
Newbie here..Can anyone enlight me on a set of
The P110 is a construction grade 2-way radio. It was considered one of the best on the market during the 1990s. It came in several versions, including (but not limited to) VHF & UHF; 2 to 8 channels, 2 watt or 4/5 watt models. If your radios are in good working condition, they would be worth keeping. The only consumable would be the battery pack which needs replaced every 2-3 years. (Sidenote: You can check the battery age by looking for a 3 digit number on the battery. The first number is the year and the next two digits are the week of the year the battery was produced. ie. 945 would be either 2009 or 1999 the 45th week.)
Here is a link to the operator's guide for the P110:

Problem charging
If you are referring to a flashing yellow light on the charging base, this is an error code. Either the 1) battery is bad, 2) not making good contact in the charger, or 3) very very low on charge. The solution for this set of problems is as follows: 1) have the company you purchased them from replace them, 2) clean your contacts with a pencil eraser, 3) leave the battery on the charger with the yellow light flashing for an hour or two. If the battery is just very low on a charge, it will come back to life and the light will change to be constant. If the battery is bad or shorted out, the light will continue to flash and you will need to get with the vendor you purchased the batteries from.
Other things which come to mind are compatibility issues such as you are using a different battery chemistry than you had before. NiCd batteries can charge on either of the two chargers available for the P110 (slow rate or fast rate). However, NiMH and Li-Ion batteries require a fast rate charger.
If you are referring to a yellow blinking light on the radio while it is in the charger. You need to shut your radio off. Radios should always be turned off when charging. If the radio is left on you will never have a full charge. Also, if you inadvertently press the PTT while the radio is turned on, while on a charger, you can cause damage to the radio.
FYI: There is no light to show "out of range" on the radio, unless you are possibly using a trunking or repeater system. A blinking light on your radio indicates the radio is turned on and/or there is traffic on your frequency. Your charger base light can be red, yellow or green. This indicates the charge cycle status. Flashing most always means some type of error.

How to program frequences in a radius p110 radio
The P110 radio is computer programmable. The software is Motorola proprietary, so it is only available to Motorola dealers and a few select types of end-users. The best option is to have it programmed by a dealer. (Just for a cost example: Our dealership does them for $15 plus shipping.)
I need help to dismantle a motorola radius sp10 2 way radio
Remove the battery, slip a small screw driver into the slot at the bottom of the radio between the outer housing and the battery tray, gently pry up. If your radio has a pair of battery contacts on the exterior they will come up with the tray. Be gentle, and do not disturb the Mylar ribbon that runs down the back of the tray. Once the tray is removed, using a frame removal tool (shaped like a squared letter U) you slip the tool in the channels on either side of the radio where you removed the battery tray. Then slide the tool upward until it meets the two plastic ears. The tool will slip under the ears and using your tool you can push the component board out the top of the housing. If your radio has an 8-dip-switch private line board, you may want to watch you do not damage or dislodge it in the process.
Can the Motorola factory replace the battery in the H730 headset?
It is possible to have the battery in your Motorola H730 headset replaced, but it would likely need to be done by a third-party repair service as the battery is not typically user-replaceable.
Motorola does not offer an official repair service for the H730 headset, so you may need to find a third-party repair service that specializes in repairing Bluetooth headsets. Be aware that third-party repairs may void any remaining warranty on the device.
You can also consider purchasing a new headset if you prefer not to have it repaired.
I have two older Motorola Walkies Talkabout FR60 wont send or receive and a T5820 with the rubber broken off the antenna is is cost feasible to fix or not
I believe for the FR60 walkie-talkies, if they are not sending or receiving, the issue could be related to the antenna, battery, or internal components. You can try replacing the batteries and/or antennas to see if that resolves the issue.
As for the T5820 walkie-talkie, if the rubber on the antenna is broken, it's likely that the antenna itself is also damaged. In this case, you can try replacing the antenna with a new one. Antennas are typically available for purchase online or at electronics stores.
In terms of cost, repairing older walkie-talkies like these may not always be cost-effective. If the repairs are extensive or require replacement of major components, it may be more practical to purchase new walkie-talkies instead.
Below are options of the options of walkie-talkies you can buy;
Motorola sliver headset won't power on even when the green lights are solid
There are a few things you can try to troubleshoot this issue with your Motorola Silver headset not powering on:
- Make sure that the headset is fully charged by connecting it to the charger for at least 30 minutes.
- Check the battery contacts in the headset and charger to ensure that they are clean and free of debris.
- Try resetting the headset by holding down the power button for 15 seconds.
- Try a different charger or charging cable to see if that resolves the issue.
- Make sure that the headset is not in pairing mode.
- Check the headset manual for any information regarding troubleshoot, or if there are any specific instructions for turning on the headset.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be a problem with the headset itself and you may need to contact Motorola for further assistance.

Can you use the Motorola XPR 4550 as a police scanner?
The Motorola XPR 4550 is a two-way radio, not a scanner. Scanners are devices that can listen to a wide range of frequencies, whereas two-way radios are designed for communication between a limited number of specific devices on specific frequencies. However, you can use a scanner to listen to the frequency that the Motorola XPR 4550 is transmitting on.
Motorola XTL5000. encoding is working but decoding is not. If you encode a different tone on another radio it still hears it.
El problema de decodificaci?n de la radio Motorola XTL5000 puede deberse a una configuraci?n incorrecta de la radio. Aseg?rate de que la radio est? configurada correctamente para la codificaci?n y decodificaci?n. Por ejemplo, aseg?rate de que los ajustes de codificaci?n sean los mismos tanto para la codificaci?n como para la decodificaci?n. Tambi?n debes asegurarte de que la radio est? configurada en la misma frecuencia de la otra radio. Si esto no soluciona el problema, prueba la antena para asegurarte de que est? funcionando correctamente. Si la antena est? bien, podr?as necesitar reemplazar la placa de circuito impreso (PCB) del receptor para solucionar el problema.
