Motorola T478 Overview

Stay connected in emergencies or extreme weather situations—even when the power is out and cell service is down—with this 2-pack of the red and white Motorola Talkabout T478 Red Cross Edition FRS/GMRS 2-Way Radio. An officially licensed Red Cross product, this radio uses FRS/GMRS channels and has a range of up to one mile in urban or outdoor settings, six miles in open spaces, and up to 35 miles in mountain-to-valley communications. Keypad and call tones indicate when a transmission is being made. Rated IP54 for dust and water resistance, the T478 features NOAA weather channels and alerts, allowing you to stay connected, no matter the situation. The built-in LED flashlight comes on automatically when the power goes off to help you see in the dark immediately.

Each of the included NiMH battery packs provides up to 12 hours of power, or you can use three optional AAs for up to 28 hours. When the power level drops, a flashing alert lets you know reserves are low so you can recharge or insert new AA batteries. The pack includes a USB charger along with a 2-bay charging tray that accommodates both radios. A keypad lock prevents personalized settings from being inadvertently changed by requiring a passcode to make alterations; the time-out feature automatically turns the lock on after a period of inactivity. Two belt clips and 16 personalization stickers are included.
