Features:

Pocket sized & light weight
Half the size of most of its competition the HX480 is one of the smallest radios in Europe. Weighing just 274g the HX480 is small enough to slip into any pocket with ease.

Powerful
The HX480 delivers a full 4 watts on UHF - the maximum power available on the licensed band. This versatile model allows you to use different power levels per channel, to a minimum of 1 watt for those users requiring less range, and improved duty cycle.

Robust Construction
Designed to offer tough, enduring performance and tested to MIL standard. Combine this with IP55 rating for protection against low pressure water jets from all directions the HX480 offers the highest level of durability as would be expected from a commercial grade radio, ensuring years of trouble free use.

High Audio Output
No more wasted time due to misunderstood or unintelligible calls; the HX480 delivers exceptionally loud audio comparable to radio's twice its size, ensuring clear and intelligible transmission each and every time.

Programmable Buttons
For your convenience all buttons are programmable to give you instant access to any of the advanced features offered by HX480, making operation simple, logical, and intuitive, with clear LCD screen graphics to indicate the selected operating mode.

Simple Mode
All advanced features and buttons can be programmed off. This will suit those users who wish to operate the radio in simple conventional mode.

VOX (Voice Operated Transmit)
Allows hands free operation when used with a VOX accessory. This feature also incorporates auto VOX sensing which conveniently detects ambient noise level and automatically sets the optimum VOX threshold.

Built In Voice Scrambler
Enabled at the press of a button this feature ensures privacy between you and other HX480 users in your radio system. Your radio calls will be loud, crisp and clear whilst potential eavesdroppers monitoring the same channel will hear unintelligible garble.

Lithium-Ion Battery Technology
The HX480 radios use the latest battery technology, which provides three main advantages: 1. Huge 12 hour duty cycle with supplied CNB400E battery pack. 2. Not prone to the dreaded memory effect that Ni-Cad and Ni-MH battery packs suffer from, therefore no more need to fully discharge your battery pack before charging. 3. Stores a charge up to 3 times longer than a Nicad.

Two-Year Warranty
For complete peace of mind HX480 is supported by a 2 year manufacturers warranty.

Key Benefits:

With licensed two-way radio:

• There are no call charges no matter how many calls you make!
• You get your own exclusive channel to avoid interference from other radio users
• Instant communication at the touch of a button
• Hand portables will give you typical ranges of 5-6Km, less in built-up areas but greater ranges are also possible*
• You may add a base station to more than double the range of a hand portable radio

* range is mainly dependant on terrain, for example one clients mobile radio system provides 3 miles range in one direction (due to hills) and 40 miles range in another. Careful equipment selection and system engineering will significantly improve your range, please ask us for advice.

Typical Applications (include but are not limited to):

Hotel & Hospitality
A PMR radio helps the medium to large establishment to improve communications, allowing you to respond faster to client’s requests and problems.

Garden Centres / Nurseries
Improve your customer services at the press of a button. Extended range for larger sites, robust and submersible units easily cope with UK weather, Charlie’s water feature, mud and dust.

Visitor Attractions
Keep in touch with your staff at the push of a button. Respond to technical and administrative issues efficiently. Increased range and security when compared to PMR446 radios.

Retail
At the touch of a button, you can check prices, find out if an item is in stock and locate a manager for assistance. Using licensed radios ensures you do not get interference from the shop next door or Johnny with his new walkie-talkie toy.

Education
In today's active learning establishments, playground supervisors, teachers, coaches and other administrators can stay connected with instant push-of-a-button communications. Due to their increased range PMR radios are particularly suited to larger establishments.

Sport / Event Management / Swimming Pools
Suitable for smaller events including Motorsport. A PMR radio is an extremely cost effective and secure way to communicate. Submersible radios are ideally suited to any humid environment including swimming pools where a standard radio will corrode with time.

Security
When an alarm signals, you don't have a moment to lose. PMR radios give you the up-to-the-minute and secure (using voice encryption equipped radios) communication you need to alert co-workers or request backup at the touch of a button.

Construction
A PMR radio is suited to larger sites that require a robust radio with a high volume output. A submersible radio provides unparalleled protection against UK weather, mud and dust.

Manufacturing
A heavy duty radio makes it easier for manufacturing workers and management to communicate often significantly reducing “down time” and improving efficiency.

Agriculture
Ideal for heavy duty, high noise applications including automated packing shed, in field machinery etc. Extended range to cover larger sites or difficult terrain. Robust and submersible units easily cope with UK weather, mud and dust.

Local Government
Ideal for long range communications for managers on the road etc. Robust and submersible units easily cope with UK weather, mud and dust.
