About the Li-Ion Battery
The RDX Series radio comes equipped with a
rechargeable Li-Ion battery. This battery should
be fully 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
discharged to 50% per day. Further, a battery
which receives minimal overcharging and
averages only 25% discharge, lasts even
longer.

Motorola Solutions batteries are designed
specifically to be used with a Motorola
Solutions charger and vice versa. Charging in
non-Motorola Solutions 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 Solutions

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 Solutions fully endorses and
encourages the recycling of Li-Ion batteries. In
the U.S. and Canada, Motorola Solutions

code as your radio, the radio Signal Strength Indicator
icon can change from 1 (weakest) to 6 (strongest)
depending on the radio reception coverage. This
helps you to determine if your radio is moving out of
range.
Note:Obstacles blocking the signal path affects
the strength of incoming signal.

WEATHER FEATURE (NOT FOR RDU4163)
The RDX radio weather mode can be programmed to
operate and receive weather channels that are
broadcast by the National Weather Radio (NWR). The
NWR system is a nationwide network of radio stations
PROGRAMMING FEATURES
(more than 1000 stations in United States) that
broadcast continuous weather information for the
public. The NWR broadcasts all types of weather
service warnings, watches, forecasts and other
hazard information. The NWR can also broadcast
non- weather alerts such as national security, natural,
environmental, and public safety in conjunctions with
the Emergency Alert System (EAS).
The RDX radio weather feature can detect weather
alerts/warnings that are broadcast by NWR. The
RDX+ radio can be programmed to detect the analog
tone or digital-over-audio protocol. The analog tone is
a 1050 Hz tone (Warning Alarm Tone), which is issued
for 10 seconds immediately before the warning
message by the NWR transmitter. When RDX radio
detects the Warning Alarm tone, it unmutes audio and
allows the user to hear the weather alert message. As
for digital-over- audio protocol, it is a newer
technology called Specific Area Message Encoding
(SAME) that allows weather radio to receive digital
data stream about the type of weather events, timing,
duration, and location. When RDX radio detects these
special warnings, the radio can be programmed to
automatically generate a loud tone, enable LED
indicator, and display “hazard” status on the display.
With the SAME technology, the RDX radio weather
mode can be programmed to detect the type of
weather warnings or watches for a specified the
county or counties.
Further information about the National Weather Radio
system such as network updates, transmitter
coverage maps, and SAME event codes can be found
on the Internet at www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/.

THE WEATHER ALERT HAS TWO MODES
OF OPERATIONS
1.In Weather Channel Mode, the radio is in a
muted state until it detects the WAT/SAME.
When the radio detects the WAT, the radio
unmutes and allows the user to hear the
weather alert message.
2.In two-way mode (on two-way channel),
Weather Alert feature becomes a special scan
feature. The radio scans between the current
selected two-way channel and the selected
weather channel. When the radio detects WAT/
SAME signal on the weather channel, the radio
PROGRAMMING FEATURES
47
Page 50

while it is receiving or transmitting on a
two-way channel.
EOM Enabled
This feature is only available for SAME Alert mode
PROGRAMMING FEATURES
and it is only effective when the radio operates in twoway mode or Weather Channel mode. When checked
and in two-way mode, the radio switches back to twoway channel and continues to weather scan after it
receives end of message (EOM). For weather
channel, the radio mutes and continues to look for
new SAME alert after it receives EOM. When
unchecked, it stays in receiving mode until weather
signal is weak or user presses the PTT button or
changes the channel using the Channel Selector
Knob.
New Alert Tone Timer
Select a pre-defined time for a radio to play the new
alert tone. When a radio receives a new SAME alert
message, the LED screen lights up and the radio
starts playing the new alert tone at the end of the
message. Users have the ability to configure how long
the alert tone will be played.
Choices available are:
•0 – forever until a button is pressed, or user
switches channel, or the new alert message is
expired.
•5 min.
•10 min.
•30 min.
Note:Embedded in the SAME message is the
duration of the alert message. The RDX
radio continues to display the alert until the
duration expiration time.
EVENT TYPE FILTER

these three methods:
•Using a Multi Unit Charger (MUC- optional
•Using two Single Unit Chargers (SUC) and a
•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 (the radio which profiles will be
cloned or copied from) and
The Source radio has to be in Pocket 1, 3 or 5 while
the Target radio has to be in Pocket 2, 4 or 6,
matching in the MUCs pockets by pairs as follows:
•1 and 2 or,
•3 and 4 or,
•5 and 6 (*).

pairs with the target pocket you chose in step 1.
Press and release the SB1 button.
4.After cloning is completed, the Source radio will
announce either “successful” (cloning is
successful) or “fail” (cloning has failed). The
‘successful’ 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 s).
5.Once you have completed the cloning process,
turn the radios OFF and ON or, long press the
PTT button to exit the ‘cloning’ mode.
Further details on how to clone radios are explained in
the Instructions Sheet provided with the MUC.
When ordering the MUC, refer to part number

you have:
•A fully charged battery on each of the radios.
•Two Single-Unit Chargers (SUC).
•Turn OFF the radios and,
•Both radios are of the same radio model.
2.Unplug any cables (power supply or USB
cables) from the SUCs.
3.Plug one side of the cloning cable mini USB
connector to the first SUC and the other end to
the second SUC.
Note:During the cloning process, no power is
being applied to the SUC. The batteries will
not be charged. Only data communication is
being established between the two radios.
4.Turn ON the Target Radio and place it into one
of the SUCs.
5.For the Source Radio, power ON the radio with
the following sequence:
•Long press the PTT button and SB2
simultaneously while turning the radio ON.
•Wait for 3 s before releasing the buttons until a
distinctive audible tone is heard.
6.Place the Source radio in its SUC, press and
release SB1.
7.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
PROGRAMMING FEATURES

English
‘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).
8.Once you have completed the cloning process,
turn the radios OFF and ON to exit ‘clone’
mode.
What To Do If Cloning Fails
The radio will emit an audible “bonk” indicating that
the cloning process has failed. In the event that the
cloning fails, perform each of the following steps
before attempting to start cloning process again:
1.Ensure that the batteries on both radios are fully
charged.
2.Check the cloning cable connection on both
PROGRAMMING FEATURES
SUCs.
3.Ensure that the battery is engaged properly on
the radio.
4.Ensure that there is no debris in the charging
tray or on the radio contacts.
5.Ensure that the Target radio is turned ON.
6.Ensure that the Source radio is in cloning mode.
7.Ensure that the two radios are both from the
same frequency band, same region and have
the same transmission power.

Batterie au lithium-ion (Li-Ion)
La radio de série RDX est livrée avec une batterie au
lithium-ion de capacité standard. D'autres batteries
peuvent être disponibles. Pour plus d'informations,
reportez-vous à la section « Caractéristiques de la
batterie » à la page 16.
Ce guide de l'utilisateur couvre plusieurs modèles de
la série RDX et peut décrire certaines fonctionnalités
dont ne dispose pas votre radio. Le modèle de la radio
est indiqué au bas de la radio et fournit les
informations suivantes :

CARACTÉRISTIQUES DE LA BATTERIE
Les radios de série RDX sont offertes avec des
batteries au lithium-ion de différentes capacités qui
définissent la durée de vie de la batterie.
À propos de la batterie lithium-ion
La radio Série RDX est équipée d'une batterie lithiumion rechargeable. Cette batterie doit être entièrement
chargée avant la première utilisation pour assurer une
capacité et une performance optimales.
L'autonomie de la batterie dépend de plusieurs
facteurs. Parmi les plus importants, on retrouve la
surcharge régulière des batteries et le niveau de perte
de charge associé à chaque cycle. Généralement, un
état de surcharge fréquent et un niveau de perte de
charge important entraînent une diminution du

transmission
(watts)
Nombre de
canaux
nombre de cycles de la batterie. Par exemple, une
batterie surchargée et déchargée à 100 % plusieurs
fois par jour offrira moins de cycles de vie qu'une
batterie moins surchargée et dont le niveau de perte
de charge est de 50 % par jour. En outre, une batterie
dont l'état de surcharge est minimal et dont le niveau
de perte de charge moyen est de 25 % durera plus
longtemps.
Les batteries Motorola Solutions sont conçues
spécifiquement pour être utilisées avec un chargeur
Motorola Solutions et inversement. La charge de la
batterie au moyen d'un chargeur non-Motorola
Solutions peut endommager la batterie et annuler sa
garantie. La température de la batterie doit être
d'environ 25 °C (77 °F) chaque fois que c'est possible.
La charge de la batterie froide (moins de 10 °C
Antenne
Page 98
Français
(Canada)
[50 °F]) peut entraîner une fuite d'électrolytes et,
éventuellement, la défaillance de la batterie.
La charge d'une batterie chaude (plus de
35 °C [95 °F]) réduit la capacité de permet de charge,
ce qui affecte la performance de la radio. Les
chargeurs rapides de Motorola Solutions contiennent
un circuit de détection de la chaleur pour s'assurer
que la température des batteries en cours de charge
respecte les seuils de température indiqués cidessus.
Recyclage et mise au rebut des batteries
Les batteries au lithium-ion peuvent être recyclées.
Cependant, on ne retrouve pas des installations de
recyclage appropriées dans toutes les régions. En
vertu de différentes lois d’États américains et des lois
de plusieurs autres pays, les batteries doivent être
recyclées et ne peuvent pas être mises au rebut dans
les sites d'enfouissement ou les incinérateurs.
Communiquez avec votre agence de gestion de

l'élimination des déchets obtenir des renseignements
et connaître les exigences applicables dans votre
région. Motorola Solutions soutient pleinement et
encourage le recyclage des batteries au lithium-ion.
Aux États-Unis et au Canada, Motorola Solutions
participe au programme national Rechargeable
Battery Recycling Corporation (Société de recyclage

des piles rechargeables) qui a comme objectif la
collecte et le recyclage des batteries au lithium-ion.
De nombreux détaillants participent à ce programme.
