The Motorola SL1600 Series is one of the most innovative and versatile two-way radios available on the market today. Combining a sleek, ultra-slim design with the robust performance expected from Motorola Solutions, the SL1600 has quickly become a popular choice amongst businesses seeking reliable communications without compromising on portability.
Recognising the demand for modern, lightweight communication equipment, DCS 2 Way Radio recently expanded its hire fleet with 200 Motorola SL1600 units, making them readily available for short-term and long-term radio hire projects across the UK.
Early feedback from customers has been overwhelmingly positive, and it is easy to see why this radio has become one of Motorola's most sought-after models.
Ultra-Slim Design for Modern Workforces
One of the first things users notice about the Motorola SL1600 is its remarkably slim profile.
At just 22mm thick, the radio is designed to be carried comfortably throughout the working day. Similar in size to a modern smartphone, it fits discreetly into a pocket, making it ideal for customer-facing roles where a bulky radio may be impractical.
The compact design makes the SL1600 particularly popular within:
- Hospitality venues
- Hotels and conference centres
- Retail environments
- Event management
- Security operations
- Corporate facilities management
Users benefit from professional communications without sacrificing comfort or appearance.
Compact Yet Exceptionally Durable
Despite its slim design, the Motorola SL1600 is built to withstand demanding working environments.
The radio carries an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance, providing protection against everyday exposure to dust, dirt and moisture.
Motorola also subjected the SL1600 to its rigorous Accelerated Life Test, simulating years of real-world use under challenging conditions. The result is a radio that delivers both portability and long-term reliability.
For organisations that require dependable communications in demanding environments, the SL1600 offers the perfect balance between durability and convenience.
Advanced Features and Intelligent Design
The Motorola SL1600 includes a range of innovative features designed to enhance usability and performance.
Active View Display
One of the radio's most distinctive features is the Active View Display.
A hidden matrix of LEDs sits behind a shatterproof screen and illuminates only when required. This unique design helps conserve battery life while still providing clear visibility of important information during both daytime and night-time operation.
Simple Battery Monitoring
Users can instantly check battery status with a quick press of the power button, displaying whether battery levels are low, medium or high.
This simple feature helps reduce the risk of unexpected downtime during critical operations.

- Dedicated power button
- Side-mounted volume control
- Prominent push-to-talk button
- Micro USB charging and programming
- Analogue and digital operation

These features combine to create a radio that is both intuitive to use and highly effective in demanding operational environments.

Its ease of use means that temporary staff, event volunteers and new users can quickly become confident operators with minimal training.
The radio is frequently deployed for:
- Corporate events
