This robust handheld digital radio offers a simple communication solution with OLED screen, programmable keys and emergency button, and is ideal for users operating in manufacturing, facilities management or education environments.

Highlights of the new PD485 include a full-sized keypad, an OLED display, dedicated emergency button and optional Bluetooth and GPS. This compact DMR radio offers customers versatile, professional communication possibilities at a very moderate price.

Whether for use in shopping centres, manufacturing and logistics, or by security services for indoor and outdoor applications – thanks to its robust housing and versatile functionality, the IP54 rated device is at home in a wide range of workplaces. Weighing just 308 grams and with dimensions of 117 x 55 x 37 mm, the radio is light and user friendly.

Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS

The optional integrated Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS module enhance the user experience and communication possibilities.

The optional integrated GPS module and the GPS antenna allow for real-time positioning of subscribers using various AVL applications.

Versatile keypad

Alongside a wide range of communication options, the full-sized keypad also enables simplified programming. Settings such as the current frequency, timeslot or colour code can be quickly and easily changed via the keypad, without needing to connect the unit to CPS.
