Finding the right walkie talkie is not an easy task, especially if you have no idea what to look for. The Motorola MR350R FRS/GMRS Two-Way radios are suitable for any situation, and they can be used with other radios in groups or alone. With these radios, changing channels is easy and fun! Here’s how to do it:

Turn on radio

With your radio off, press and hold the talk button. You will hear a tone indicating that you have activated the talk button.

Hold down the power button until you hear two tones indicating that your walkie-talkie is on. You may release the talk button at this time or continue to hold it down if you wish to communicate with another party before releasing it.

Find the channel/frequency you want to change to

  • Press the menu button. (The icon with three horizontal lines, usually in the top-left corner of your screen.) This will open up a menu on the left side of your screen.
  • Select Channel Settings from this menu by either tapping it or pressing down on it until it’s highlighted in blue and then tapping again to select it.
  • Scroll down until you find “Channel” or “Frequency,” depending on what kind of radio you have and then press OK to continue to step 4 below.

Press and hold Menu Button

  • Pressing and holding once will exit this menu so that you can resume using your walkie talkies normally!

Press and hold Menu Button (not for first time)

To change channels on your Motorola walkie talkie, press and hold the Menu button for at least 2 seconds. The channel number will flash to indicate that you are in the right place to begin programming.

Do not release the Menu button until you have made all of your desired changes and then push it again.

FAQ

How do I unlock the channel on my Motorola walkie talkie?

To change the channel on a Motorola walkie talkie, you’ll need to press the Menu button on your radio. On some models, this is a small silver button located near the top of your device. On other models, it’s larger and colored green or red depending on whether they’re set up for simplex or duplex use—simplex radios only allow one-way communication while duplex radios allow two-way communication—so if your model doesn’t have one of these buttons but has an LCD display instead (like this one), please refer to its user guide for instructions on how to access menus through that display instead.

Once you’ve pressed this button, enter in a four-digit code using number keys 1 through 9 followed by * or # key depending on what type of device you own (number keys 1 through 5 represent numbers 0 through 9 while * represents 10 and # represents 11).
