The Motorola NTN8266B (also sold as the NTN8266) is Motorola’s genuine 2.5-inch heavy-duty plastic spring-action belt clip for APX 6000, APX 7000 and APX 8000 top display radios and ASTRO 25 XTS 3000, 3500, 4250 and 5000 radios. The clip attaches to the back of the radio’s battery and holds the radio securely on a duty belt, utility belt or waistband up to 2.5 inches wide. You can still draw it fast. Motorola’s spring-action design keeps steady tension so the radio stays put while you work, run or climb. When a clip breaks or wears out, the NTN8266B is the low-cost way to get your radio back on your belt.

It’s used every day by police officers, firefighters, EMS crews, public works and security staff.

How to Install the NTN8266B

1. Turn the radio off and lay it face down.
2. Line up the clip with the mounting slot on the back of the battery.
3. Slide the clip into the slot until it locks.
4. Check that it’s secure by pulling gently. The clip should not slide out.
5. Clip the radio onto your belt, waistband or strap, up to 2.5 inches wide.

To remove it, press the release tab and slide the clip out of the battery slot. When you swap batteries, move the clip to the new battery or keep a clip on each spare.

Why replace your clip? A cracked, loose or worn clip is the most common reason a radio falls off a belt. A fresh NTN8266B keeps a radio worth thousands of dollars on your hip.
