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. 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

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:

CLONING RADIOS

You can clone RDX™ Series radio profiles from one radio (the ‘Source’ radio) to a second radio (the ‘Target’ radio) by using any one of these 3 methods:

• One Multi Unit Charger (optional accessory)

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

• the CPS (free software download)

Cloning with a Multi-Unit Charger (MUC)

FEATURES

PROGRAMMING

The MUC is capable of cloning radios. To do so, 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, 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

2. Power the Source radio following the sequence

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.

English

3. Place the Source radio in the source pocket that

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.

Note: If cloning fails please refer to “What to do if

cloning fails” on page 59.

Further details on how to clone units are explained in the instructions sheet provided with the MUC.

When ordering the MUC please refer to P/N RLN6309. See accessories details on “Chargers” on page 88.

Notes:

• 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.

Repeater Capabilities

Programming Repeater Capability

You can only program Repeater Frequencies if your radio has been previously configured via the CPS. The repeater icon will appear solid, and the MENU options for programming TX frequencies, TX CTCSS/DPL codes and TX

Bandwidth will be available. If the repeater feature is mapped (using CPS) to one of the radio buttons, then the repeater icon will blink. This indicates that you can use the repeater ‘button’ to toggle ON/OFF repeater. If repeater is not enabled in the radio this icon will not be displayed.

Once you have selected the channel you want to set up for repeater operation, you can move between the Programming options by short pressing the PTT or MENU button to program the frequency, code and bandwidth for the repeater channel.
