BATTERY FEATURES

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 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:

To turn ON the radio, rotate the On/Off/Volume Knob clockwise. The radio will chirp and the LED Indicator will briefly blink red.

To turn the radio OFF, rotate the On/Off/Volume Knob counterclockwise until you hear a 'click' and the radio LED Indicator turns OFF.

ADJUSTING VOLUME

Turn the On/Off/Volume Knob clockwise to increase the volume, or counterclockwise to decrease the volume.

Note: Do not hold the radio too close to the ear when the volume is high or when adjusting the volume

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 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 will blink red every 3 seconds.

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.
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.

TALK RANGE

TALK RANGE

PROGRAMMING FEATURES

To easily program all the features in your radio, it is recommended to use the CPS

Programming Cable and CPS software.

CPS software download is available for free at www.motorolasolutions.com/RDX

PROGRAMMING MODE

Programming Mode is a special radio mode to program basic radio's features by using the radio's panel.

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.

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 signaling you.

Please refer to "Programming Mode: Reading the Values" table on page 38.

Figure 1: Entering Programming Mode

Programming Mode: Reading the Values

Number Confirmation Beep		LED Indication
0	Zero beep One orange blink
1	One beep One short red blink
2	Two beeps Two short red blinks
3	Three beeps Three short red blinks
4	Four beeps Four short red blinks
5	Long beep One long red blink
6	Long beep and one beep One long and one short red blinks
7	Long beep and two beeps One long and two short red blinks
8	Long beep and three beeps One long and three short red blinks
9	Long beep and four beeps	One long and four short red blinks

Entering Programming Mode

Note: Before programming the features, make sure your radio is set to the channel you wish to program. You can do so before entering Programming Mode or at any time during the Programming Mode by turning the Channel Selector Knob to the desired channel

To read or modify Frequencies, Codes and Auto-Scan, set the radio to 'Programming Mode' by long pressing both the PTT and the SB1 button simultaneously while turning ON the radio for 3 to 5 seconds until a 'chirp' sounds to indicate that you have entered 'Idle' Programming Mode (*). The LED Indicator will start blinking a green heartbeat.

Note: (*)'Idle' Programming Mode is the stage of the Programming Mode in which the radio is waiting for the user to start the radio programming cycle (refer "Entering Programming Mode" on page 37)

Once you are in the 'Idle' Programming Mode, you will be able to read the Frequencies, Codes and Auto-Scan setting by short pressing the PTT button to move along the different programmable features.

Reading Frequencies Values

When reading frequencies values you need to read two digits as RDX Series™ radios have 27 frequencies for VHF and 89 frequencies for UHF.

Once in 'Idle' Programming Mode, the radio will signal the first value it was programmed when you short press the PTT button (see Figure 2: Reading Frequencies Values on page 40). This value corresponds to the frequency's first digit

value. If you short press the PTT button again, the radio will signal you the second digit value.

Figure 2: Reading Frequencies Values

Reading CTCSS/DPL Values

If you continue short pressing the PTT button as shown in Figure 1: Entering Programming Mode on page 37 (stage 2), the radio will move forward to programming CTCSS/PL Codes.

When reading the values for CTCSS/PL Codes the radio signals you the digit codes each time you short press the PTT button.

You will have to read three digits as RDX Series™ have up to 213 codes available (refer to "Frequencies and Codes Charts" Section).

The following is an example of the order in which your radio will be signaling the '118' CTCSS/DPL code:

Figure 3: Example of How to Program Values

• Short press the PTT button. The radio will signal you the first digit '1'.
• Short press PTT button again and the radio will show the second digit '1' and,
• Finally, short press PTT again and radio will show the third digit '8'.

Reading Auto-Scan Values

After reading the CTCSS/DPL codes, short press the PTT button and the radio will take you to Auto-Scan (refer to Stage 3 of Figure 3: Entering Programming Mode on page 40).

Auto-Scan only has two values:

If the radio signals the value...	It means Auto-Scan is...
0	OFF
1	ON

• Auto-Scan is set to OFF by default.

Note: While in Auto-Scan Mode, if you short press PTT button, the radio will return to the 'Idle' Programming Mode. It will then generate a 'roll-over' chirp and it will start blinking a green heartbeat

Programming Frequencies, Codes and Auto-Scan

Each time your radio signals and beeps the current setting you can change this setting by either increasing it by short pressing SB1 or decreasing it by short pressing SB2. The radio will then signal the new setting it has been programmed.

Saving Settings

If you are satisfied with the setting, you can either:

• short press PTT to continue programming,
• long press PTT to save and return to 'Idle' Programming Mode, or
• long press the PTT button twice to exit 'Idle' Programming Mode and return to the normal radio operation.

Note:

- If you do not wish to save the value you just programmed, turn radio OFF or change channel using the channel knob.

- If you ‘roll-over’ to the beginning at Idle Programming Mode you will hear a ‘chirp’ and the LED Indicator will start blinking green again. All values that were changed will be automatically saved.

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 return to the Programming Mode (the radio does not provide further way to let you know the specific stage you are at 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)

• 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.

1. I am trying to enter the Programming Mode but the radio would not do it.

The radio might be locked using the CPS to not allow Front Panel Programming. To re-enable, use the CPS.

1. When I was programming I made a mistake and programmed 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:

• The radio roll-over (and generates a 'wrap-around' 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,
• Turn OFF the radio and start-over.
• 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.

• 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 enter '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 the changes made.

PROGRAMMING VALUES EXAMPLE

Example of Programming a Frequency

Assuming current frequency value is set to Channel 1, with the UHF default frequency '02' (equivalent to 464.5500 MHz), and you want to change it to Frequency Number = '13' (which is mapped to 461.1375 MHz), follow this sequence:

- Enter Programming Mode

• Short press the PTT button to enter Frequency Mode. Radio will signal current value '0' (orange blink)
• Press the SB1 button once to increase first digit to '1'.
• Short press the PTT button once to move ahead and program the frequency's second digit. Radio will signal current value which is '2' (two red blinks).
• Press the SB1 button to increase the digit value to '3'.
• Long press the PTT button. LED Indicator will show a green heartbeat to indicate 'Idle' state.
• Long press the PTT button to exit Programming Mode or turn radio OFF.

Example of Programming a Code

Assuming current code value is set to factory default '001', and you want to change it to CTCSS/DPL Code = 103 follow the sequence below:

• Enter Programming Mode
• Short press the PTT button three times (Enter CTCSS/DPL Programming Selection Mode). The LED Indicator will blink orange to indicate that current value is '0'

• Press the SB1 button once (to change first digit to '1') LED Indicator will blink red. Short press the PTT button (to move forward and program second digit). The LED Indicator will blink orange to indicate current value is '0'.

• Short press the PTT button and move ahead to program the third digit. LED Indicator will blink red to indicate current value is '1'.

• Press the SB1 button to change the 'third digit' to '2'. Press the SB1 button to change again this 'third digit' to '3'. Radio will signal the chosen value.
• Long press the PTT button to save changes and return to 'Idle' Programming Mode.
• Once in 'Idle' Programming Mode, LED Indicator will start blinking a green heartbeat.
• Long press the PTT button to exit Programming Mode.

Example of Programming Auto-Scan

Auto-Scan is the last Programming Mode and can be set to either ON or OFF on a particular channel.

To set Auto-Scan to ON:

• Enter Programming Mode and select the desired channel (see Figure 1: Entering Programming Mode on page 37).
• Short press the PTT button six times to enter Auto-Scan Programming Selection Mode. The radio will signal beeps and will show the current Auto-Scan setting (please refer to “Reading Auto-scan Settings” on page 41).
• Short press the SB1 button to toggle ON/OFF the Auto-Scan feature in the channel. When ON, the LED Indicator will blink RED once. When OFF, the LED Indicator will blink ORANGE once.

OTHER PROGRAMMING FEATURES

Scan

Scan allows you to monitor other channels to detect conversations. When the radio detects a transmission, it will stop scanning and will stop on the active channel. This will allow you to listen and talk to people on that channel without having to change the channel knob. If there is talking 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 waits for 5 seconds before resuming scan again.

• To start scanning, press the SB2 button (*). When the radio detects channel activity, it will stops on that channel until the activity ends. You can talk to the person(s) transmitting without having to switch channels by pressing PTT.
• To stop scanning, short press the SB2 button again.
• By pressing the PTT button while the radio is scanning, the radio will transmit on the channel

which was selected before Scan was activated. If no transmission occurs within five seconds, scanning will resume.

- If you want to scan a channel without Interference Eliminator Codes (CTCSS/DPL), set the code settings for the channels to '0' in the CTCSS/DPL Programming Selection Mode.

Whenever the radio is set up in Scan, the LED Indicator will signal a red blink.

Note: (*)Assumes the SB2 button is not programmed to other function different from the default. If Auto-Scan has been enabled for a particular channel, do not press SB2 to scan the channel, as the radio will do it automatically.

Editing Scan List

Scan Lists can be edited by using the CPS (refer to CPS section on page 48)

Nuisance Channel Delete

Nuisance Channel Delete allows you to temporarily remove channels from the Scan List. This feature is useful when irrelevant conversations on a ‘nuisance’ channel tie up the radio's scanning feature.

To delete a channel from the Scan List:

• Start Scan by short pressing the SB2 button (*)
• Wait until the radio stops on the channel you wish to eliminate, then long press the SB2 button to delete it.
• The channel will not be removed until you exit Scan by short pressing the SB2 button again or by turning the radio OFF.

Note: (*) Assumes the SB2 button is not programmed to another function different from the default.

CPS (COMPUTER PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE)

The easiest way to program or change features in your radio is by using the Computer Programming Software (CPS) and the CPS Programming Cable(*). CPS Software is available for free as web based downloadable software at:

www.motorolasolutions.com/RDX

To program, connect the RDX Series ^™ radio via the Drop-in Charger Tray and CPS Programming Cable as shown in the picture above.

CPS allows the user to program frequencies, PL/DPL codes, as well as other features such as: Time-out Timer, Power Select, Battery Type Select, Scan List, Call Tones, Scramble, Reverse Burst, etc. CPS is a very useful tool as it can also lock the Front-Panel Radio Programming or restrict any specific radio feature to be changed (to avoid accidentally erasing the preset radio values). It also provides security by giving the option to set up a password for profile radio's management. Please refer to Features Summary Chart Section at the end of the user guide for more details.

Note: (*) CPS Programming Cable (P/N RKN4155) is an accessory sold separately. Please contact your Motorola point of purchase for more information.

Time-Out Timer

When pressing the PTT button, transmissions can be terminated by setting up a 'time-out' timer.

Power Select

Power Select allows you to select between high and low transmission power per frequency in each channel. The power levels for RDX Series™ 2W toggle between 1W and 2W or 2W and 4W/5W depends on the model.

Note: Some frequencies may have FCC transmit power restrictions that do not allow them to be set at a higher power level. For details see the Frequencies and Code Chart Section.

Battery Type Setting

The RDX Series ^™ radio can be powered by either Alkaline or Lithium-Ion batteries.

Call Tones

Call Tones feature allows you to transmit to other radios in your group by alerting them that you are about to talk or alerting them without speaking.

Scramble

The Scramble feature makes transmissions sound garbled to anyone listening without the same code. Scramble default value is OFF.

Reverse Burst

Reverse Burst eliminates unwanted noise (squelch tail) during loss of carrier detection. You can select values of either 180/240.

Notes:

- The features described in previous pages are just some of the features CPS has. CPS offers more capabilities. For more information refer to the HELP file in the CPS.

- Some of the features available with the CPS software may vary depending on the radio model.

English

CLONING RADIOS

You can clone RDX Series ^™ radio profiles from one Source radio to a Target radio by using any one of these 3 methods:

• a Multi Unit Charger (optional accessory),
• Two Single Unit Chargers (SUC) and a Radio-to-Radio cloning cable (optional accessory),
  • 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 (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 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 (*).

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.

1. Place the Source radio in the source pocket that pairs with the target pocket you chose in step 1. Press and release SB1.
2. 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).
3. Once you have completed the cloning process, turn the radios OFF and ON to exit the 'cloning' mode.
4. If cloning fails please refer to "What To Do if Cloning Fails" on page 54.

Further details on how to clone radios are explained in the Instructions Sheet provided with the MUC.

When ordering the MUC, please refer to P/N RLN6309.

Notes:

• Paired Target radios and Source radios must be of the same band type in order for the cloning to run successfully.
• (*) MUC pockets numbers should be read from left to right with the Motorola logo facing front.

Cloning Radio using the Radio to Radio (R2R) Cloning Cable (Optional Accessory)

Operating Instructions

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).
• Turned OFF the radios and,
- Both radios are of the same radio model.

1. Unplug any cables (power supply or USB cables) from the SUCs.
2. 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.

1. Turn ON the Target radio and place it into one of the SUCs.
2. On the Source radio, power the 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.

1. Place the Source radio in its SUC, press and release SB1.

2. 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).

3. 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 cloning fails, try performing each of the following before trying to start the cloning process again:

1. Ensure that the batteries on both radios are fully charged.

2. Check the cloning cable connection on both SUCs.

3. Ensure that the battery is engaged properly on to the radio.

4. Ensure that there is no debris in the charging tray or on the radio contacts.
5. Ensure that the Source radio is in cloning mode.
6. Ensure that the Target radio is turned ON.
7. Ensure that radios are both from the same type (same frequency band, same front panel (display/non display), same region and same transmission power).

Note: This cloning cable is designed to operate only with compatible Motorola RLN6175 (Standard) and RLN6304 (Rapid) Single Unit Chargers.

When ordering Cloning Cable please refer to P/N RLN6303. For details about accessories refer to Accessories section.
