BATTERY FEATURES

RDX Series™ radios provide Lithium-Ion
batteries that come in different capacities that
will define the battery life. It also offers the
option to use Alkaline batteries.

About the Li-Ion Battery

The RDX 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.

Side Button 2 (SB2)

Disabled by default. Use CPS to program
function (*).

RADIO OVERVIEW

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

batteries are charged within the temperature
overcharged and discharged 100% several
times a day, lasts fewer cycles than a battery
that receives less of an overcharge and is
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

limits stated above.

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

CLONING RADIOS

You can clone RDX™ Series radio profiles from
one radio (also known as the ‘Source’ radio) to
a second radio (also known as the ‘Target’
radio) by using any one of these 2 methods:

• One Multi Unit Charger (optional accessory
P/N RLN6309)

• Two Single Unit Chargers and a Radio-to­Radio cloning cable (optional accessory P/N
RLN6303)

Cloning with a Multi-Unit Charger (MUC)

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

The Source radio has to be in Pocket 1, 3 or 5
while the Source radio to be cloned has to be in
Pockets 2, 4 or 6, matching in the MUCs
pockets by pairs as follows: 1 and 2 or 3 and 4
or 5 and 6 (*).

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

1. Turn ON the Target radio and place it into one of

the MUC Target Pockets

CLONING RADIOS

2. Power the Source radio following the sequence

The MUC is capable of cloning radios. To do
so, there must be at least two radios:

below:

• Long press the PTT button and SB2
simultaneously while turning the radio ON.

• Wait for 3 seconds before releasing the
buttons until a distinctive audible tone is
heard.

3. Place the Source radio in the source pocket that

Notes:

pairs with the target pocket you chose in step 1.

Press and release SB1.

4. After cloning is completed, the Source radio will

sound either a ‘pass’ tone (cloning was

successful) or a ‘fail’ tone (cloning process has

failed). The ‘pass’ tone sounds like a good key

‘chirp’ whereas the ‘fail’ tone sounds similar to a

‘bonk’ tone. If the Source radio is a display

model, it will either show ‘Pass’ or ‘Fail’ on the

display (a tone will be heard within 5 seconds).

5. Once you have completed the cloning process,

turn the radios OFF and ON to exit the ‘cloning’

mode.

• Paired target radios and source radios must
be of the same type in order for cloning to run
successfully.

• (*) MUC pockets numbers should be read
from left to right with the Motorola logo facing
front.
