15 x- 22 x.

Note: To enhance your radio’s performance, remove the

Repeater channels that you do not plan to use before
initiating Scan. For example, it would be beneficial to
remove channel 16 from your Scan List if you are using

channel 16 x and vice versa. Your radio will talk back on the correct transmit

frequency if you follow this simple procedure. If you need additional help
please refer to Setting Preferences for Scanning/Scan List found on page 20.
You may also refer to Frequency and Code Charts found on page 36 for more
details.

Weather

You can’t change the weather, but you can be prepared for it when you take
your Motorola Talkabout T7200 radio with you. That's because it tunes into
broadcasts by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio and Environment Canada Weatheradio.

You can listen to a weather channel or you can even set your radio to alert you
to emergency weather broadcasts that interrupt routine broadcasts.

Both NOAA and Environment Canada have transmitters located throughout the United States
and Canada, respectively. These transmitters broadcast watches, forecasts, and other
information 24 hours a day.

VIII. Patent and Software Provisions

At Motorola’s expense, we will defend you, and pay costs and damages that may be
finally awarded against you, to the extent that a lawsuit is based on a claim that the
Products directly infringe a United States patent. Our obligation is conditioned on: (a)
you notifying us promptly in writing when you receive notice of the claim; (b) you
giving us sole control of the defense of the suit and all negotiations for its settlement
or compromise; and (c) should the Products become, or in Motorola's opinion be
likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement of a United States patent, you
permit us, at our option and expense, either to: procure for you the right to continue
using the Products; replace or modify them so that they become non-infringing; or
grant you a credit for such Products, as depreciated, and accept their return. The
depreciation will be an equal amount per year over the lifetime of the Products, as
established by Motorola.

Motorola will have no liability to you with respect to any claim of patent infringement
that is based upon the combination of the Products or parts furnished under this
limited warranty with ancillary equipment, as defined in VI., above.

of patents by the Products.
