BATTERY FEATURES

For Sales Information Please Contact RoadTrucker Inc (www.RoadTrucker.com)

8312 Sidbury Rd.; Wilmington, NC 28411 - [phone] / [phone]

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

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.

that receives less of an overcharge and is

Battery Recycling and Disposal

For Sales Information Please Contact RoadTrucker Inc (www.RoadTrucker.com)

8312 Sidbury Rd.; Wilmington, NC 28411 - [phone] / [phone]

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:

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)

For Sales Information Please Contact RoadTrucker Inc (www.RoadTrucker.com)

8312 Sidbury Rd.; Wilmington, NC 28411 - [phone] / [phone]

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.

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’

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

cloning fails” on page 57.

Further details on how to clone units are

When ordering the MUC please refer to P/N

“Chargers” on page 86.

Notes:

• Paired target radios and source radios must

Operating Instructions

Source Radio: Radio to be cloned.
Target Radio: Radio to which the configuration

of the “Source Radio” will be copied (cloned).

1. Before beginning the cloning process, make

sure you have:

• A fully charged battery on each one of the
radios.

• Two Single Unit Chargers (SUC).

• Both radios are turned OFF.

For Sales Information Please Contact RoadTrucker Inc (www.RoadTrucker.com)

8312 Sidbury Rd.; Wilmington, NC 28411 - [phone] / [phone]

• 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

connector to one SUC. Plug 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. A data communication is
being established between the two radios.

4. Turn ON the “Target Radio” and place it into

one of the SUCs.

5. On the “Source Radio”, power the radio

following the sequence below:

• Long press the Push-to-Talk (PTT) and Side
Button 2 (SB2) simultaneously while turning
the radio ON.

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

6. Place the “Source Radio” in its SUC, press and

release Side Button 1 (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
“chirp” whereas the “fail” tone sounds similar to
a “bonk” tone. If the “Source Radio” is a radio
with a display, it will either show “Pass” or “Fail”
on the display. (A tone will be heard in no more
than 5 seconds).

8. Once you have completed the cloning process,

you should turn the radios “OFF” and “ON” to
bring them to normal user mode (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 cloning fails, try performing each of the
following before trying to start the cloning
process again.
