As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, my husband and I were in the process of getting licensed to provide foster care these past couple months. One of the requirements that our county has is to have some sort of weather radio or way to get severe weather information. It had to be portable as we would need to be able to take it down to the basement when we would seek shelter. So when Motorola reached out to feature their Motorola Talkabout T480 in conjunction with getting ready for Emergency Preparedness Month coming up in September, I was thrilled to cross one more thing off of our list.
The Motorola Talkabout T480 is a great start to being prepared in case of emergencies. It helps families stay connected when the unexpected hits, as we all know can happen when dealing with severe weather and emergencies.
FEATURES INCLUDE:
- Wall Or Desk Accessory Stand: This allows the unit to always be fully charged and allows the unit to be waiting for action.
- Dual purpose: Can be used as a traditional weather alert radio or as a two-way radio.
- Automatically Sends NOAA Weather Alerts
- Auto Flashlight: Not only is it a bright LED light, it turns on automatically during a power outage.
- Built In Radio: Tune in to your favorite FM station with the built in radio feature.
- IP54 Weatherproof: This radio is designed to withstand rains, snow, and other weather conditions.
- 22 Channels Each with 121 Privacy Codes: This allows optimal chance for finding an available channel when you need it.
- Quickly Ask for Help: Just press the emergency alert button to transmit an alert signal followed by spoken or incidental sounds.
After unboxing our Motorola Talkabout T480, there was very little prep needed to get it up and running. As you can see, it comes with the rechargeable batteries, a stand, and a power cord as well as the actual unit itself. Then, simply insert the battery, plug the charger into the outlet, and plug the unit into the charger. Then we were ready to roll!
Overall, this is a really awesome unit. My husband especially loved the easy to read screen and the fact that the unit is easy to use. He was also quite impressed by the light! The Motorola Talkabout T480 has some really great features that are sure to come in handy whenever we next experience severe weather.

Hi Melody,
Try clearing your browser history and cache. I have tested all the links and they all go through for me so I’m not sure why you’re having issues but clearing those two things usually fixes it. Thanks~

I worked in healthcare and staff started using them instead of overhead paging. They are a great product and were so helpful at work and they would be super for home as well.
