The Motorola TalkAbout MR350R Two-Way Radio is a set of walkie talkies with numerous features. You can use it for many communication purposes, such as staying in touch with your family at a fair, keep your establishment organized, or retain cohesiveness of your airsoft/paintball team.
The Motorola MR350R radios comes in a transparent plastic package (see photo below). It is completely sealed, therefore, you have to cut through it to get the parts out.
The Motorola TalkAbout MR350R Two-Way Radio has an hour-glass shape (see photo below). The shape makes it really easy to hold and provide very little chance of slippage. Therefore on adventure trips, you'll have the confidence that it won't get out of your hand. The radio antenna is almost as long as the radio body and is flexible. A rotary power switch is also on top of the radio. It serves as the volume control as well.
The back of the radio is fairly plain (see photo below). Three things to note: 1) There is a loop on top of the radio for you to tie a strap to; 2) There is a circular hole for you to attach a belt clip (included); 3) There are two charging contacts for the charging cradle.
The photo below shows the belt clip attached. With the belt clip, the radio becomes quite bulky. But you probably won't notice it if it's clipped out of the way. A spring-loaded button allows the radio to be detached from the belt clip. The belt clip is made out of plastic, which makes me wonder about its robustness in the field.

The Motorola TalkAbout MR350R radios come with rechargeable battery packs. However, you can still use three regular AA Alkaline batteries. The rechargeable battery and the Alkaline batteries shares the same compartment, meaning that you can only use the rechargeable battery pack or the Alkaline batteries, not both at the same time.
The rechargeable battery pack is 3.6v 650mAH Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH). It seems that the rechargeable battery pack is just three AA size NiMH batteries wrapped in shrink wrap. It has two recharging contacts on the side, in case you want to charge it via the charging cradle. As mentioned before, you can charge it via the mini-USB port. The model number of the rechargeable battery pack is KEBT-071-H.
Motorola included a charging cradle and a AC adapter so that you can charge the two walkie talkies at the same time. The cradle charges the radios standing up, saving a bit of space. It's also round and very pleasing to look at. The model number of the charging cradle is KEBT-071.
The AC adapter provides 9.0v and is rated at 200mA. It has a positive tip on the connector. It's model number is KEAD-281-A.
