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:

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.

5. Bandwidth: Some frequencies have selectable

channel spacing, which must match other

radios for optimum audio quality.

PROGRAMMING FEATURES

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

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 three features:

• Frequencies,

• Codes (CTCSS/DPL) and,

• Auto-Scan.

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

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 using beeps and LED indications.

The radio's LEDs will blink two colors:

• Orange to signal '0' and,

• Red for other values from '1' to '9'.

Short and long red blinks differentiate the specific number the radio is signaling you.

Please refer to “Programming Mode: Reading the Values” table on page 38.

Programming Mode FAQ

1. I got distracted while programming and forgot which digit 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 further way to let you know the specific stage

FEATURES

you are at when programming). Therefore you

PROGRAMMING

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

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 (and generates a 'wrap-

around' sound) each time it reaches a maximum

(9) or minimum (0) 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.

Switch to the new channel you wish to program by using the Channel Selector Knob. The radio will enter 'Idle' Programming Mode. 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.
