Convenient, Powerful Connections for Serious Outdoors Adventures
With a range of up to 27 miles(1) (under optimum conditions), the compact MJ270R two-way radios are a reliable communication tool for on-the-go families and outdoor sports enthusiasts. The MJ270R radios have the power to communicate on the ski slopes, at the state park and even in remote wilderness areas not covered by cell phones(1). Whether snowmobiling in the woods or spending the day at the ski lodge, users will enjoy added mobility of hands-free communication available by using the iVOX speech-activated feature.
The radios are ideally suited for activities in remote locations without the added worry of pending weather conditions. Families can stay on top of changing weather conditions on the trail or at the campsite by tuning in to one of seven National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and four Environmental Canada (EC) weather channels(2), which provide continuous broadcasts of local and regional weather updates.
Practical Features for Peace-of-Mind on Every Journey
Lightweight and durable, the Motorola MJ270R radios are designed with features to keep family and friends connected and in constant communication in case of emergencies. The MJ270R radios are also equipped with an Emergency Alert feature. When the alert button is activated, the radio transmits an alert siren followed by transmission of any spoken or incidental sounds and allows users to send the signal to other radios and warn of impending danger. It also features a built-in LED flashlight for unexpected weather emergencies and power outages.
The MJ270R also features flexible charging options for ultimate mobility, making it the ideal communication tool to pack for every vacation or sports outing. Users can choose to charge in the standard dual drop-in charger or use the mini-USB port in the radio to charge with a wall- or vehicle mini-USB charger (optional accessories), which are especially useful during long road trips. And, for remote expeditions, 3 double-A batteries are ideal for a quick recharge when no power is available.
