The SL1600 is a UHF/VHF digital two-way radio from Motorola. With a slender design the radio is ideal for a variety of working environments, with its common home being found in retail, hospitality and educational environments. Standing at 126mm in height, 55mm in width and 22mm in depth the radio will fit comfortably in the palm of the average hand, this whilst weighing at just 169g means that carrying the SL1600 is stress free. There are two carrying solutions available including both a nylon wrist strap and heavy duty belt clip, this tied in with the SL1600’s lightweight means that the radio is barely noticeable when attached to the waist or wrist.
Aesthetically the SL1600 has a modern design. An active view display on the face of the radio displays current channel using hidden LED lighting to display current channel or radio and volume information clearly in both bright and low lit environments. When using the channel selector knob on top of the radio, should you be in a low lit environment or not able to look at the display the SL1600 is capable of channel announcement.
With a 99 channel capacity, the SL1600 can operate on both UHF and VHF frequencies, whilst also having a programmable button to allow the users to customise an option for this radio. VOX Voice Activation capabilities allow for the SL1600 to be used hands free, ideal for working situations where you may need to make contact but don’t have your hands free.
The IP54 rating of the SL1600 ensures that although not designed for tougher working conditions it is possible for this radio, meaning that the SL1600 has a limited Ingres protection against dust whilst also being safeguarded against splashes of water from all angles.

Motorola SL1600 Features Explained
Taken from our knowledge base, we explain each feature of the Motorola SL1600.
Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)
TDMA is a technology that allows several users to share the same frequency channel by dividing the signal into different time slots. With DMR this is two time slots to every 12.5KHz frequency channel allocation.
Before DMR every 12.5KHz frequency allocation could carry just one broadcast of RF traffic. Now with DMR 12.5KHz bandwidth allows two voice channels.
See the video for an explanation on how this works.
Read more about TDMA in our Knowledge Base.
Channel Scanning
Channel scanning enables the user to monitor a number of channels and respond when a transmission comes through. The scan feature can usually be programmed to include or exclude channels from the scan. Scanning fewer channels makes the scan faster. Should a transmission be found, your radio will stop and pause giving the operator the chance to respond to the transmission before continuing its cycle through the selected channels.
When programming your radio, it is possible to include or exclude channels from the scan, this allows for channels of highest priority to be added meaning that staff members never miss an important transmission. Channel scanning is an ideal choice in environments where updates are frequently given, this allowing for all of your members of staff to remain alert to changing conditions.
Digital hybrid radios can usually scan either or both digital and analogue channels simultaneously. This allows for an extremely flexible scan facility where the user can monitor many channels across both analogue and digital modes.
Read more about Channel Scanning in our Knowledge Base.
Digital Basic Privacy
Digital Basic Privacy ensures that any communications made using your two way radios are protected against the potential for eavesdropping. Although this level of protection is very basic it still offers a degree of protection against your communications being listened in on by unwelcome parties.
Basic Privacy uses a fixed key which is set when the radio is programmed. There are 255 potential keys to be chosen from, this meaning that this is still a fairly simple privacy option for your devices. In order for an eavesdropper to listen in to your conversations they would require your exact frequencies, whilst also knowing the exact key that you have used for privacy.
The main reason for purchasing licensed two way radios is the privacy that they offer over license exempt devices. When communicating in work environments where there is the potential for sensitive information to be passed over the airwaves, having at least a basic level of privacy ensures that due diligence has been taken to keep work communications in house.

Lone Worker
Lone Worker is a feature found on many two way radios where it's able to send a pre-determined signal, for example a distress call or alarm, to other radios in range, Lone Worker requires some type of interaction from the radio user after a period of radio inactivity.
An example of this is the radio can be set to require the radio operator to interact with his or her radio once every 30 minutes. If they fail to do so, their radio will start making an audible sound. If there is still no interaction with his or her radio within 1 further minute, a alarm will sound to other team members to tell them a team member is not responding to Lone Worker.
The supervisor can then dispatch another team member to the non-response team member's last known location to offer assistance.

Voice Activation (VOX)
VOX (voice-operated exchange), more commonly known as Voice Activation, allows the two way radio's microphone and PTT button to be activated by simply speaking into the radio.
How To Use VOX
Most two way radios' voice activation feature only works via an external VOX capable earpiece or headset. Once connected, you simply start speaking and the two way radio will automatically initiate the transmission. When there is no longer any audio coming via your earpiece or headset, the two way radio automatically disengages the PTT.
Activating VOX
Most business grade licence exempt two way radios allow activating the voice activation feature via a button combination on the radio; or by simply plugging in a vox capable earpiece or headset. However, some more complex two way radios, such as our licensed two way radios will require some reprogramming.
VOX Drawbacks
Since VOX works by listening out for audio via the attached accessory, background noise that's near to the sound of a human voice will also activate it. That means practically anything can activate the voice activation.
Read more about Voice Activation (VOX) in our Knowledge Base.
Voice Announcement
Voice announcement, also known as voice prompts, is a feature where the two way radio announces the status of the two way radio. Information such as on/off status of features and the currently selected channel can be announced.
Most two way radios that support voice announcements have built in audio files which provide the most popular announcements such as channels numbers and specific features such as low and high power.
More advanced two way radios allow a customised audio file to be uploaded and used instead of the default files. This is useful for giving channels specific names. Example, channel 1 can be called "Operations", channel 2 "Cleaning Team", and so on.
