Page 42: Unique Situations
QuieT6000™ (Continued) If you have a T6200 radio with QuieT6000 on and want to talk to others in your group who also have QuieT6000 on, you must first transmit a call tone before talking to them. When the call tone is transmitted, ^ will display on the other T6200 or T6300 series radios with the same channel, interference eliminator code, and QuieT6000 on, letting them know that you want to talk to them. -
Page 43: Weather (T6220 Only)
Weather (T6220 Only) You can’t change the weather, but you can be prepared for it whenever you take your Motorola Talkabout T6220 radio with you.

Page 44: Setting The Weather Channel
Press [ or ] to select the strongest channel. As with two-way radio reception, weather channel reception depends on how close you are to a transmitter and whether you are indoors or outdoors. Also, because weather channels are transmitted without codes, they may contain static or noise. - Page 45 Note: The TalkAbout T6200-series two-way radios are designed to be two-way radios primarily, with the added utility of features such as Weather Alert. The radio uses the same circuitry for both two-way radio and weather alert receptions. Therefore, you can miss a weather alert while you are engaged in two-way communication (either transmitting or receiving).
