BATTERY FEATURES AND CHARGING
OPTIONS

About the Li-Ion Battery

The XTNi™ radio series come 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
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.

GETTING STARTED

decrease the volume.

Note: Do not hold the radio too close to the ear

when it is at a high volume setting or when

adjusting the volume setting.

SELECTING A CHANNEL

To select a channel, rotate the Channel
Selector Knob and select the desired channel
number.

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

TALKING AND MONITORING

It is important to monitor for traffic before

English

transmitting to avoid ‘talking over’ someone
who is already transmitting

To monitor, press and hold the SB1(*) button
for 2 to 3 seconds 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 radio
LED will blink red every 3 seconds.

(*) This assumes SB1 has not been programmed for
a different mode.

English

24

RECEIVING A CALL

TALK RANGE

1. Select a channel by rotating the Channel

Selector Knob until you reach the desired
channel.

2. Make sure the PTT button is released and
listen for voice activity.

3. The LED indicator blinks RED while the
radio is receiving a call.

4. To respond, hold the radio vertically 1 to 2
inches (2.5 to 5cm) from mouth. Press the
PTT button to talk; release it to listen.

Note: Please notice that when radio is receiving or

transmitting, LED is always RED.

Note: In order 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).

XTNi radios have been designed to maximize
performance and improve transmission range
in the field. It is recommended that you do not
use the radios closer than 1.5 meters apart, to
avoid interference.

Talk range depends on the terrain. It will be
affected by concrete structures, heavy foliage
and by operating radios indoors or in

vehicles.

Optimal range occurs in flat, open areas with
up to 9 kilometres of coverage. Medium range
occurs when buildings and trees are in the

way. Minimal range occurs when dense foliage
and mountains obstruct the communication
path.

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:

GETTING STARTED

25

English

1. Channel: Current channel that the radio is

using, depending upon 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

GETTING STARTED

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 Kit which
includes the Programming Cable, CPS and
accessories sections.

Programming Mode

Programming Mode is special radio mode that
allows you to program basic radio's features by
using the radio’s panel programming.

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 ( you will
not need to press any button to start scanning).

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 showing you.

As the radio blinks the number, it will generate
a combination of short and long beeps.

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 go back into the
Programming Mode (the radio does not
provide further way to let you know the specific
stage you are when programming). Therefore
you 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 for
not allowing Front-Panel Programming. To
reenable, use the CPS.

PROGRAMMING

FEATURES

37

English

4. When I was programming I made a

mistake and program 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:

a) The radio roll-over (and generates a 'wrap­around' 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,

b) 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.

FEATURES

PROGRAMMING

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 go into to the '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 changes made.

OTHER PROGRAMMING FEATURES

SCAN

Scan allows you to monitor other channels in
order to detect conversations.
When the radio detects a transmission, it will
stop scanning and will stay on the active
channel. This will allow you to listen and talk to
the people on that stopped channel without
having to change the channel knob. If there
is talking going on channel 2 during this time,
the radio will stay on channel 1 and you will not
hear channel 2. After talking has stopped in
channel 1, the radio will wait 5 seconds before
resuming scan again.
