RADIO OVERVIEW

BATTERY FEATURES

RM Series radios provide Lithium-Ion
batteries that come in different capacities
that will define the battery life.

About the Li-Ion Battery

The RM Series radio comes equipped with a
rechargeable Li-Ion battery. This battery
should be charged before initial use to ensure
optimum capacity and performance.

Battery life is determined by several factors.
Among the more critical are the regular
overcharge of batteries and the average depth
of discharge with each cycle. Typically, the
greater the overcharge and the deeper the
average discharge, the fewer cycles a battery
will last. For example, a battery which is
overcharged and discharged 100% several
times a day, lasts fewer cycles than a battery
that receives less of an overcharge and is

RADIO OVERVIEW

discharged to 50% per day. Further, a battery

which receives minimal overcharging and
averages only 25% discharge, lasts even
longer.

Motorola batteries are designed specifically to
be used with a Motorola charger and vice
versa. Charging in non-Motorola equipment
may lead to battery damage and void the
battery warranty. The battery should be at
about 77°F (25°C) (room temperature),
whenever possible. Charging a cold battery
(below 50° F [10°C]) may result in leakage of
electrolyte and ultimately in failure of the
battery. Charging a hot battery (above 95°F
[35°C]) results in reduced discharge capacity,
affecting the performance of the radio.
Motorola rapid-rate battery chargers contain a
temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that
batteries are charged within the temperature
limits stated above.

English

14

Battery Recycling and Disposal

Li-Ion rechargeable batteries can be recycled.
However, recycling facilities may not be
available in all areas. Under various U.S. state
laws and the laws of several other countries,
batteries must be recycled and cannot be
disposed of in landfills or incinerators. Contact
your local waste management agency for
specific requirements and information in your
area. Motorola fully endorses and encourages
the recycling of Li-Ion batteries. In the U.S. and
Canada, Motorola participates in the
nationwide Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation (RBRC) program for Li-Ion battery
collection and recycling.

Many retailers and dealers participate in this
program. For the location of the drop-off facility
closest to you, access RBRC's Internet web
site at:

www.rbrc.com

or call:

1-800-8-BATTERY

This internet site and telephone number also
provides other useful information concerning
recycling options for consumers, businesses
and governmental agencies.

To establish a proper two-way communication,
the channel, frequency, and interference
eliminator codes must be the same on both
radios. This depends on the stored profile that
has been preprogrammed on the radio:

1. Channel: Current channel that the radio is

using, depending on radio model.

2. Frequency: The frequency the radio uses to

transmit/receive.

3. Interference Eliminator Code: These codes

help minimize interference by providing a

choice of code combinations.

4. Scramble Code: Codes that make the

transmissions sound garbled to anyone

listening who is not set to that specific code.

PROGRAMMING FEATURES

To easily program all the features in your radio,
it is recommended to use the CPS
Programming Cable and CPS software.

CPS software download is available for free
at www.motorolasolutions.com/RMseries

PROGRAMMING MODE

Programming Mode is a special radio mode to
program basic radio's features by using the
radio’s panel.

When the radio is set to Programming Mode,
you are able to read and modify four features:

•

Select Frequencies from a Pre-Defined list

• Codes (CTCSS/DPL)

• Auto-Scan.

•

Active Channels

The Programming Frequencies feature allows
you to select frequencies for each channel.

36

The Interference Eliminator Code (CTCSS/
DPL) helps minimize interference by providing
you with a choice of code combinations that
filter out static, noise, and unwanted
messages.

The Auto-Scan feature allows you to set a
particular channel to automatically enable Scan
each time you switch to that channel.

Learning to Read the Values the Radio
Signals You

As the non-display model does not have a
display to show the values that are being
programmed, the radio will communicate this
information via voice announciation .

FEATURES

English

Entering Programming Mode

Note: Before programming the features, make

sure your radio is set to the channel you
wish to program. You can do so before
entering Programming Mode or at any time
during the Programming Mode by turning
the Channel Selector Knob to the desired
channel

To read or modify Frequencies, Codes,
Auto-Scan and active Channels, set the radio
to 'Programming Mode' by long pressing both
the PTT and the SB1 button simultaneously
while turning ON the radio for 3 to 5 seconds
until a ‘chirp’ sounds to indicate that you have
entered 'Idle'Programming Mode (*).The LED
Indicator will start blinking a green heartbeat.

Note: (*)'Idle' Programming Mode is the stage of

the Programming Mode in which the radio is
waiting for the user to start the radio
programming cycle (refer “Entering
Programming Mode” on page 37)

Once you are in the 'Idle' Programming Mode,
you will be able to read the Frequencies,
Codes and Auto-Scan setting by short pressing
the PTT button to move along the different
programmable features.

Entering Frequencies Values

RM Series radios have 89 frequencies for UHF.

Once in ‘Idle’ Programming Mode, the first

value available to chage is Channel number,
you can go channel up or Channel down using
SB1 and SB2, after modified you will hear a
channel number confirmation. Pressing short
PTT you can select other features to be
confirmed or modified, again using SB1 and
SB2 you can change values. The radio always
via voice will signal the new value.

Programming Mode FAQ

1.

I got distracted while programming and
forgot which feature I was
programming. What should I do?

Return to 'Idle' Programming Mode and start
over, as you will not be able to return to the
Programming Mode (the radio does not provide

FEATURES

further way to let you know the specific stage

PROGRAMMING

you are at when programming). Therefore you
can:

• Long press the PTT button. The radio will return
to the 'Idle' Programming Mode or,

• Turn OFF the radio and enter Programming
Mode again (see instructions in the beginning of
this section)

2.

I am trying to program a frequency (or

code) value but the radio would not do it.

It rolled over and took me back to value

‘0’.

The radio will not allow you to program any
values that are not available in the frequencies
and codes pool. For example, if you try to
program code 128, the radio would not accept
it, as the maximum value allowed is 122. Same
thing will happen with frequencies. Check the
Frequencies and Codes Charts section to make
sure you are programming a valid number.

3.

I am trying to enter the Programming

Mode but the radio would not do it.

The radio might be locked using the CPS to not
allow Front Panel Programming. To re-enable,
use the CPS.

English

42

4.

When I was programming I made a

mistake and programmed the wrong

value. How can I erase it or re-program

it?

If you make a mistake while programming a
value you have two choices:

• The radio roll-over each time it reaches a
maximum value. Keep increasing (short press
SB1) or decreasing (short pressing SB2) until
you get the desired value or,

•

Turn OFF the radio and start-over.

5.

I just programmed the value I wanted.

How do I exit Programming Mode?

• If you are in Programming Mode you can exit by
long pressing the PTT button twice.

• If you are already in the ‘Idle’ Programming
Mode, long press the PTT button once.

6.

I am done programming the features in

this channel and want to program another

channel.

Press short PTT several times until you hear
"Channel Number", then switch channel using
SB1 and SB2. If you wish to save the changes,

make sure you are in the ‘Idle’ Programming
Mode before switching the channel as
otherwise you will lose the changes made.

OTHER PROGRAMMING FEATURES

Scan

Scan allows you to monitor other channels to
detect conversations. When the radio detects a
transmission, it will stop scanning and will stop
on the active channel. This will allow you to
listen and talk to people on that channel without
having to change the channel knob. If there is
talking on Channel 2 during this time, the radio
will stay on Channel 1 and you will not hear
Channel 2. After talking has stopped in
Channel 1, the radio waits for 5 seconds before
resuming scan again.

FEATURES

• To start scanning, press the SB2 button (*). When

PROGRAMMING

the radio detects channel activity, it will stops on

that channel until the activity ends. You can talk

to the person(s) transmitting without having to

switch channels by pressing PTT.

• To stop scanning, short press the SB2 button

again.

• By pressing the PTT button while the radio is

scanning, the radio will transmit on the channel

which was selected before Scan was activated. If

no transmission occurs within five seconds,

scanning will resume.

• If you want to scan a channel without Interference

Eliminator Codes (CTCSS/DPL), set the code

settings for the channels to ‘0’ in the CTCSS/DPL

Programming Selection Mode.

Whenever the radio is set up in Scan, the LED
Indicator will signal a red blink.

Note: (*)Assumes the SB2 button is not

programmed to other function different from
the default. If Auto-Scan has been enabled
for a particular channel, do not press SB2 to
scan the channel, as the radio will do it
automatically.

CPS (COMPUTER PROGRAMMING
SOFTWARE)

The easiest way to program or change features
in your radio is by using the Computer
Programming Software (CPS) and the CPS
Programming Cable(*). CPS Software is
available for free as web based downloadable
software at:

www.motorolasolutions.com/RMseries

48

To program, connect the RM Series radio
via the Drop-in Charger Tray and CPS

Programming Cable as shown in the picture
above.

CPS allows the user to program frequencies,
PL/DPL codes, as well as other features such
as: Bandwidth Select, Time-out Timer, Power
Select, Scan List, Call Tones, Scramble,
Reverse Burst, etc. CPS is a very useful tool as
it can also lock the Front-Panel Radio
Programming or restrict any specific radio
feature to be changed (to avoid accidentally
erasing the preset radio values). It also provides
security by giving the option to set up a
password for profile radio's management.
Please refer to Features Summary Chart
Section at the end of the user guide for more
details.

(*)

Note:

CPS Programming Cable P/N HKKN4027A
is an accessory sold separately. Please
contact your Motorola point of purchase for
more information.

Time-Out Timer

When pressing the PTT button, transmissions
can be terminated by setting up a 'time-out’
timer.

Power Select

Power Select allows you to select between
high and low transmission power per frequency
in each channel. The power levels for RM
Series 2W toggle between 1W and 2W.

Note: Some frequencies may have FCC transmit

power restrictions that do not allow them to
be set at a higher power level. For details
see the Frequencies and Code Chart
Section.

Call Tones

Call Tones feature allows you to transmit to
other radios in your group by alerting them
that you are about to talk or alerting them
without speaking.

Scramble

The Scramble feature makes transmissions
sound garbled to anyone listening without the
same code. Scramble default value is OFF.

Reverse Burst

Reverse Burst eliminates unwanted noise
(squelch tail) during loss of carrier detection.
You can select values of either 180/240.

Notes:

• The features described in previous pages are just

some of the features CPS has. CPS offers more

capabilities. For more information refer to the

HELP file in the CPS.

• Some of the features available with the CPS

software may vary depending on the radio model.

one Source radio to a Target radio by using any
one of these 3 methods:

• Using a Multi Unit Charger (optional accessory),

• Two Single Unit Chargers (SUC) and a Radio-to­Radio cloning cable (optional accessory),

• the CPS (free software download)

Cloning with a Multi Unit Charger (MUC)

To clone radios using the MUC, there must be
at least two radios:

• a Source radio (radio which profiles will be cloned

or copied from) and

• a Target radio (the radio which profile will be
cloned from the source radio.)

The Source radio has to be in Pocket 1 or 4
while the Target radio has to be in Pocket 2 or
5, matching in the MUCs pockets by pairs as
follows:

• 1 and 2 or,

4 and 5

•

When cloning, the MUC does not need to be
plugged into a power source, but ALL radios
require charged batteries.
