RADIO OVERVIEW

BATTERY FEATURES

RVA Series radios provide Lithium-Ion batteries
that come in different capacities that defines
the battery life.

About the Li-Ion Battery

The RVA 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 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.

SELECTING A CHANNEL

To select a channel, turn the Channel Selector
Knob until you reach the desired channel. An
audible voice indicates the selected channel.

Each channel has its own Frequency,
Interference Eliminator Code and Scan
Settings.

TALKING AND MONITORING

It is important to monitor for traffic before
transmitting to avoid ‘talking over’ someone
who is already transmitting

To monitor, long press and hold the SB1(*)
button to access channel traffic. If no activity is
present, you will hear ‘static’. To release, press
SB1 again. Once channel traffic has cleared,
proceed with your call by pressing the PTT
button. When transmitting, the LED Indicator
stays solid red.

English

26

GETTING STARTED

Notes:

• To listen to all activity on a current channel, short
press the SB1 to set the CTCSS/DPL code to 0.
This feature is called ‘CTCSS/DPL Defeat
(Squelch set to SILENT)’.

• (*) This assumes SB1 is not being programmed
for a different mode.

RECEIVING A CALL

1. Select a channel by rotating the Channel

Selector Knob until you reach the desired
channel. An audible voice indicates the
selected channel.

2. Make sure the PTT button is released and listen

for voice activity.

3. The LED Indicator stays solid red when the

27

GETTING STARTED

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.

For details on how to set up frequencies and
CTCSS/DPL codes in the channels, refer to
“Advanced Configuration Mode” on page 31.

ADVANCED CONFIGURATION MODE

Advanced Configuration is a configuration
mode that allows the customization of
additional features via the radio’s front panel.

For non-display model radios, the navigation is
guided by an audible voice prompt.

When the radio is set to Advanced
Configuration, you are able to read and modify
four features:

• Frequency Selection,

• Codes (CTCSS/DPL),

• Auto-Scan,

• Bandwidth, and

• Active Channels

The Frequencies Select feature allows you to
choose frequencies from a pre-defined list.

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.

The Bandwidth feature allows you to assign a
bandwidth of 12.5 kHz or 25 kHz per channel.
Default value is 25 kHz.

The Active Channels feature allows you to
increase or decrease the amount of active
channels (In the range of maximum channels
allowed).

FUNCIONES DE LA BATERÍA

Los radios RVA radios incluyen baterías de
iones de litio que se presentan en distintas
capacidades, que definen la duración de la
batería.

Acerca de la batería de ion de litio

El radio serie RVA viene equipada con una
batería recargable de ion de litio. Esta batería
se debe cargar completamente antes de su
uso inicial para asegurar una óptima capacidad
y rendimiento.

La duración está determinada por diversos
factores. Entre los más importantes está la
sobrecarga habitual de las baterías y la
extensión promedio de la descarga con cada
ciclo. Generalmente, mientras mayor sea la
sobrecarga y más extensa sea la descarga
promedio, menos serán los ciclos que dure una
batería. Por ejemplo, una batería que se
sobrecarga y descarga al 100 % varias veces
al día dura menos ciclos que una batería que
recibe menos de una sobrecarga y se

descarga al 50 % por día. Además, una batería
que recibe una sobrecarga mínima y promedia
solo un 25 % de descarga, dura incluso más.

Las baterías Motorola están diseñadas
específicamente para ser usadas con un
cargador Motorola y viceversa. Realizar la
carga en equipos que no sean Motorola puede
provocar daños en la batería y anular su
garantía. Siempre que sea posible, la batería
debe estar a alrededor de 25 °C (77 °F)
(temperatura ambiente). Cargar una batería
fría (a menos de 10 °C [50 °F]) puede provocar
una fuga de electrolitos y por último la falla de
la batería. Cargar una batería caliente (por
encima de 35 °C [95 °F]) provoca una capacidad
de descarga reducida, lo que afecta el
rendimiento del radio. Los cargadores de
batería rápidos de Motorola contienen un
circuito de detección de temperatura para
asegurar que las baterías se carguen dentro
de los límites de temperatura establecidos
anteriormente.
