RADIO OVERVIEW

English

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.

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.

CPS (COMPUTER PROGRAMMING
SOFTWARE)

FEATURES

The easiest way to program or change features

PROGRAMMING

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

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

Programming Cable as shown in the
picture above. (Need to select CPS mode
on the cable switch).

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 to avoid accidentally erasing the
current radio settings. It also provides security
by giving the option to set up a password for
radio profile 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.

English

Time-Out Timer

This timer sets the amount of time that the
radio can continuously transmit before
transmission is automatically terminated. The
default setting is 60 seconds and can be
changed using the CPS.

Power Select

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

Call Tones

Call Tones feature allows you to transmit
an audible tone to other radios on the
same channel and alerting them that you
are about to talk or alerting them
without speaking. The call tones feature
must be programmed to SB1 or SB2 and 1
of 3 pre-recorded tones selected

Scramble

The Scramble feature makes transmissions
sound garbled to anyone listening without the
same code. Scramble default value is OFF.
The Scramble feature should be
programmed to SB1 or SB2, If the scramble

code need to be changed during radio's
normal operation.

Reverse Burst

Reverse Burst eliminates unwanted noise
(squelch tail) during loss of carrier detection.
You can select values of either 180 or 240
to be compatible with other radios. Default
is 180.

Weather Channel (Cont.)

The channel position 8 on all RM Series radios with channel selector knob is configured at the
factory as a NOAA Weather Radio.

The NOAA Weather Radio feature can be disabled or configured to any of the other available
channel positions via the Customer Programming Software or in Advanced Configuration Mode.
When a channel that has the NOAA Weather Radio enabled is selected, the RM radio generates a
voice announcement indicating channel and weather frequency number, e.g. "Channel 8: Weather
1". The weather frequency number announced is which of the 7 NOAA national frequencies is
currently tuned in the weather radio. The weather frequency can be changed while in the Weather
Channel by Pressing SB2 to enter Weather menu then SB1 acts as up button and SB2 acts down

button. Also, PTT acts as menu button to advance to channel menu or weather alert menu.

NOAA Weather Alert

The RM Series radio is capable of monitoring the NOAA frequency for any Alerts issued by the
National Weather Service. When the weather alert feature is enabled the radio will "mute" the daily
weather radio, you can then move the channel position to a standard two way radio frequency and
continue normal communication.

FEATURES

PROGRAMMING

The Weather Alert allows the radio to "listen" for a Warning Alarm Tone (WAT) from the National
Weather Service. If a WAT is detected the weather radio will "un-mute" and the message being
broadcasted will be heard on the RM radio.

If the RM radio is tuned to a two-way channel (normal operation + weather alert on) when a WAT
is detected, the radio will "un-mute" and the message being broadcasted will be heard. While
monitoring an alert, pressing the PTT or changing channels will exit the weather alert and go back
to normal operation.

Please note that using the Weather Alert feature will impact normal battery life.

CLONING RADIOS
