BATTERY FEATURES
RM Series radios provide Lithium-Ion batteries
that come in different capacities that defines
the battery life.
About the Li-Ion Battery
The RM 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
RADIO OVERVIEW
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 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.

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:
1-800-8-BATTERY
This internet site and telephone number also
provides other useful information concerning
recycling options for consumers, businesses
and governmental agencies.

Programming Mode FAQ
1.I got distracted while programming and forgot
which feature I was programming. What should
I do?
Return to ‘Idle’ Programming Mode and start
over. You will not be able to return to
Programming Mode (the radio does not provide
further way to let you know the specific stage
you are at in the Programming Mode).
Therefore you can:
•Long press the PTT button. The radio will return
to ‘Idle’ Programming Mode or,
•Turn OFF the radio and enter Programming
PROGRAMMING FEATURES
Mode again. (Refer to “Entering Advanced
Configuration Mode” on page 33 for more
information)
2.I am trying to program a frequency (or a code)
value but the radio would not do it. It rolled over
and took me back to value ‘0’.
The radio disallow you to program any value
that is not available in the frequencies and
codes pool. For example, if you try to program
code 220, the radio would not accept it as the
maximum value allowed is 219. Same goes for
the frequencies. Refer to the“Frequency and
Code Charts” on page 58 to make sure you are
programming a valid value.
3.I am trying to enter the Programming Mode but
the radio would not do it.
The radio may be locked using the CPS to
disallow Front Panel Programming. To reenable, use the CPS.
4.I programmed the wrong value when I was
programming. How can I erase or re-program
the value?
If you programmed the wrong value, you can
either:
•‘Roll-over’ the radio. The radio ‘roll-over’ each
time it reaches the maximum value allowed. Keep
increasing (short press the SB1 button) or
decreasing (short press the SB2 button) until you
get the desired value or,
English
36
•Turn OFF the radio and start over.
5.I just programmed the value I wanted. How do I
exit the Programming Mode?
You can either:
•long press the PTT button twice to exit if you’re in
the Programming Mode or,
•Long press the PTT button once if you are
already in the ‘Idle’ Programming mode.
6.I am done programming the features in this
channel. How do I program another channel?
Short press the PTT button several times until
you hear “Channel Number”. Switch channel by
rotating the Channel Selector Knob. If you wish
to save the changes, make sure you are in the
‘Idle’ Programming Mode before switching the
channel, otherwise you will lose the changes
made.
PROGRAMMING VALUES EXAMPLE
Example of Programming a Frequency

WEATHER CHANNEL
NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards (NWR) is
a nationwide network of radio stations
broadcasting continuous weather information
directly from the nearest National Weather
Service office. NWR broadcasts official
Weather Service warnings, watches, forecasts
and other hazard information 24 hours a day,
7 days a week.
Working with the Federal Communication
Commission’s (FCC) Emergency Alert System,
NWR is an “All Hazards” radio network, making
it your single source for comprehensive
weather and emergency information. In
conjuction with Federal, State and Local
PROGRAMMING FEATURES
Emergency Managers and other public
officials, NWR also broadcasts warning and
post-event information for all types of hazards
– including natural (such as earthquakes or
avalanches), environmental (such as chemical
releases or oil spills), and public safety (such
as AMBER alerts or 911 Telephone outages).
Known as the “Voice of NOAA’s National
Weather Service”, NWR is provided as public
service by the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), part of
the Department of Commerce. NWR includes
1000 transmitters, covering all 50 states,
adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S.
Virgin Islands and the U.S. Pacific Territories.
NWR requires a special radio receiver or
scanner capable of picking up the signal.
Broadcasts are found in the VHF public service
band at these seven frequencies.

The channel position 8 on all RM Series radios
with channel selector knob is configured at the
factory as a NOAA Weather Radio.
The NOAA Weather Radio feature can be
disabled or configured to any of the other
available channel positions via the Customer
Programming Software (CPS) or in Advanced
Configuration Mode. When a channel that has
the NOAA Weather Radio is selected, the RM
radio generates an audible voice
announcement indicating the channel and
weather frequency number. (E.g.: “Channel 8:
Weather 1”). The weather frequency number
announced is one of the 7 NOAA national
frequencies that is currently tuned in the
weather radio. The weather frequency can be
changed while in the Weather Channel
Programming mode by pressing the SB2
button to enter Weather menu and then using
the SB1 button to toggle up or SB2 button to
toggle down. The PTT button acts as the menu
button to advance to channel menu or weather
menu alert menu.
NOAA Weather Alert
The RM series radio is capable of monitoring
the NOAA frequency for any alerts issued by
the National Weather Service. When the
Weather Alert feature is enabled. the radio will
“mute” the daily weather radio. You can then
move the channel position to a standard 2 way
radio frequency and continue with normal
communication.
The Weather Alert allows the radio to “listen”
for a Warning Alarm Tone (WAT) from the
National Weather Service. If a WAT is
detected, the weather radio will “un-mute” and
the message being broadcasted will be heard
on the RM radio.
If the RM radio is tuned to a 2 way channel
(normal operation and weather alert feature
ON), the radio will “un-mute” and the message
being broadcasted will be heard when a WAT is
