With a range of up to 20 miles(1), the compact EM1000R two-way radios are ideal for family emergency kits. The radios contain a variety of practical features to keep everyone prepared in any circumstance or setting -- from remote mountainside ski retreats to unexpected power outages at home. The EM1000Rs are equipped with an emergency alert feature, which enables users to activate a siren and transmit messages to other radio users. The radios also feature a built-in LED flashlight for unexpected weather emergencies and power outages, an emergency checklist and access to seven National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and four Environment Canada (EC) weather channels, which provide continuous broadcasts of local and regional weather updates.(2)
Convenient Communication with Clear Connections
During winter ski outings, families can enjoy the convenience of hands-free communication with the iVOX speech-activated feature. The EM1000R also has flexible charging options for ultimate mobility. Families can choose to charge in the standard, dual drop-in charger or use the mini-USB port in the radio to charge with the included mini-USB car charger, which is especially useful during long road trips. And, for remote adventures, double-A alkaline batteries are ideal for a quick recharge when no power is available.
The EM1000R has 22 channels, each of which has 121 privacy codes, providing users with 2,662 possible combinations of communication. Motorola's exclusive QT (Quiet Talk) function eliminates interference from other manufacturers.
