Excellence in Design

Great care was taken in the design process of the PR400 and PM400 to not only help ensure ruggedness and reliability, but ease of use and functionality.

What’s in a test? Motorola’s radios must survive multiple drops from a height of five feet onto a hard surface to surpass our durability standards. And Motorola’s Accelerated Life Test dishes out the equivalent of five years of abuse over a period of just three to five weeks. Our comprehensive testing is intended to design and develop a tough, high-quality radio that serves you for the long term.
