Reliable, robust, cost effective – the Motorola DP1400 delivers everything you want from a classic two way radio handset. Whether you are on the farm or the construction site, checking machinery in the factory or packing shelves in the warehouse, this workhorse of a radio keeps colleagues in touch. The DP1400 is what is known as a hybrid radio, which means that it can operate in both analogue and digital modes. Programmed to analogue, the DP1400 can transmit and receive using both UHF and VHF frequencies, which makes it highly versatile and well suited to both indoors and outdoors use. Its flexibility is further heightened by the fact that, should you wish to, you can switch your analogue handsets over to digital mode. This makes the DP1400 ideal if you are looking to upgrade to digital two way radio gradually – you can add handsets to your existing analogue fleet one at a time until you have replaced them all, and then switch all your DP1400s over to digital. All it takes is a quick software upgrade, just like updating an app on your phone. The DP1400 is ergonomically designed, unobtrusive to carry around and easy to use. It fits comfortably in the hand and most of the core functions can be activated with a single press of a button. The main function is the push-to-talk button used to transmit calls, but it also features two programmable buttons on the side. These can be used to set up one-touch operation for a range of functions, such as issuing a network-wide alarm in an emergency or sending pre-programmed text messages. Designed with the needs of industry in mind, DP1400 handsets are also built to last – the engineering has been put through Motorola’s Accelerated Life Test, a demanding durability assessment which verifies that the DP1400 can withstand five years’ worth of service in full working order. The DP1400 Analogue benefits from Motorola’s expertise in audio technology, offering clean, crisp results in all environments so the message always gets through. It delivers up to 14.5 hours of battery life on a single charge, so is sure to see staff through long shifts. It comes with 16 available channels which are scanned using a convenient tuner knob located on the top of the handset and has an operational range of up to 3km when used in outdoor open spaces in VH
