If you’re in business and need to keep in close contact with your workers and colleagues, the Motorola XU2600 business two-way radio may be exactly what you’re looking for. With hands-free functionality, a lightweight but rugged design, an extended battery life, six channels, and enhanced range capability, the Motorola XU2600 is designed with the professional who cares about efficiency and safety in mind.

Take a closer look at the Motorola XU2600’s functions.

A handy belt clip, plus a rugged design make the XU2600 perfect for the work day.

Many work sites, including construction areas, grocery stores, hospitals, and warehouses, require workers to cover vast amounts of area in the course of the day. These sites also suffer from high ambient noises generated from poor acoustics, machinery, vehicle traffic, and other loud sources. Keeping in constant touch with your staff requires communication tools that are specifically designed for these environments. When communications break down, your organization becomes less efficient, and issues such as productivity, safety, and profitability suddenly become serious concerns.

Operating on FCC frequencies reserved exclusively for business use, the Motorola XU2600 is a powerful two-way radio that can help you keep your businesses operations on schedule, maximize productivity, enhance security, and increase overall customer satisfaction. (The Motorola XU2600 operates on UHF frequencies, making it ideal for communication inside steel and concrete structures.)

Thanks to a newly designed chip and optimized acoustic cabinet that provides clearer audio at higher volumes, the Motorola XU2600 offers a significant improvement of sound quality over earlier Motorola two-way radio models. The radio has also been designed not only to be weatherproof, shockproof, and drop-proof, but also to meet MilSpec810 and IP54 standards. In other words, this is a radio that’s built to take the harshest work conditions your job can dish out.

A radio is only as good as its power source. With the included XTN NIMH rechargeable battery, you will get up to 13 hours of continuous work between recharges, and if you find yourself running a third shift on the same radio, you can throw in two AA batteries to keep the talk flowing for another 22 hours.

The Motorola XU2600 also lets you spread out. With vastly improved selectivity, sensitivity, and voice compression in the receiver, you can talk up to 250,000 square feet, or up to 20 floors in a multi-level building. (Talk range may vary depending on terrain and conditions.)

The XTN-series rechargeable battery offers a whopping 13 hours of life.

Of course, talk range is meaningless if you have continual channel chatter. With the XU2600, you have 56 business-exclusive UHF frequencies along with 121 private line codes, including 83 digital private line codes (DPL). So not only are you more likely to find a clear channel with no interference, you also get a high degree of compatibility with your existing fleets of radios.

Speaking of compatibility, this radio can operate seamlessly with all Motorola Spirit professional two-way radios, including all radios in the Spirit M-Series, the Spirit GT, the Spirit HP, the Spirit Pacer, and the Spirit S-Series. So you can add XTN series radios as you go, or anytime you need to replace radios or purchase additional radios for your fleet.

The XU2600 is designed for split-second cloning using the multi-unit charger. This allows you to quickly add radios to an existing fleet, or pick up and move the whole fleet to a new location and set it up in a hurry with all the appropriate channel and code settings. So if you’re in a business that necessitates close communication with your staff, the Motorola XU2600 is designed to do the job safely, efficiently, and economically.
