LIBERTYVILLE, Ill. -- 18 May 2007 -- This Father's Day, Motorola (NYSE:MOT) offers the perfect gift for the adventurous dad that not only enables him to do the outdoor activities he enjoys, but helps keep him in touch with the people he loves at the same time. Motorola Talkabout® T9500XLR two-way radios, loaded with an array of features, are now available with extra benefits just in time for dad’s special day. With every purchase of T9500XLR radios, Motorola is offering two free Motorola earbuds with push-to-talk (PTT) microphones -- ideal for private, one-on-one conversations.
Powerful, Dependable Connections The affordable T9500XLR two-way radios come with a variety of features to help keep dad in-touch and informed during expeditions and other outdoor activities. Lightweight and robust with rugged side grips, the compact T9500XLR radios are designed to support a range of up to 25 miles2 (under optimum conditions), offering dependable communication in remote areas not covered by cell phones. The radios are also equipped with Motorola’s new PTT power boost feature.
