BATTERY FEATURES
The RDM Series MURS Two-Way Radio provides 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 RDM Series MURS Two-Way Radio comes equipped with a rechargeable Li-Ion battery. This battery should be charged before initial use to ensure optimum capacity and performance.
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:
http://www.call2recycle.org/
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.

COMPUTER PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE
In addition to the features that can be configured in Basic and Advanced Configuration via the radio panel, the Computer Programming Software (CPS) can additionally configure Transmit Time-Out Timer, PL Reverse Burst, Alternate Battery Selection, Backlight settings, Buttons Reset, CPS Manager Lock, LED enabled/disabled, Power Up Text, and Edit Scan List.
The Programming Cable RKN4155 (sold separately) is required. The CPS Software is available for download at no cost at: www.motorola.com/RDX
To configure the radio using the CPS, connect the radio via the Drop-in Charger Tray and CPS Programming Cable as shown in the picture below.

Transmit Time-Out Timer
This timer sets the amount of time (60, 120 or 180 sec.) that the radio can continuously transmit before transmission is automatically terminated. A continuous tone is generated when this timer expires, indicating a time-out.
PL Reverse Burst
PL Reverse Burst causes a Private Line (PL) code to be sent at the end of a transmission once the PTT button is released. This sub-audible tone causes the receiving radio to mute its speaker before loss of a carrier is detected. Muting the speaker eliminates unwanted noise (squelch tail) during loss of carrier detection.
Choices available are: 180/240.
Alternate Battery Selection
The radio is capable of supporting multiple batteries solutions; therefore, the user can configure a battery type when using the accessory battery pack tray, only when the radio does not detect a valid battery type on its own. Choices available are: Alkaline, Nickel, and Lithium Ion.
RADIO CLONING
The RDM Series MURS Two-Way 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-to-Radio cloning cable (optional accessory)
• the CPS (free software download)
Cloning with a Multi-Unit Charger (MUC)

Reading Values Through Beeps and LED Indicators
As the RDM2020 model does not have a display to show the values that are being configured, the radio will communicate this information using beeps and LED indications.
| Number Confirmation Beep LED Indication | ||
| 0 | Zero beep One short 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 | |
Reading Frequency Values
The Frequency value is only one digit as RDM Series MURS Two-Way radios have 5 predefined frequencies.
To read frequency values:
- From "Idle" Advanced Configuration Mode, short press the PTT button to hear the first value (Refer to "Advanced Configuration (RDM2020 Model)" on page 44). This value corresponds to the frequency's first digit value.

- Short press the PTT button to read CTCSS/DPL values.
Reading CTCSS/DPL Values
When reading the values for CTCSS/PL Codes the radio signals the digit codes each time the PTT button is short pressed. The RDM Series have up to 213 codes available (Refer to "Frequency and Code Charts" on page 50).
The following is an example of the order in which the radio signals the "118" CTCSS/DPL code:

flowchart
graph TD
A["First Digit"] --> B["1"]
B --> C["Second Digit"]
C --> D["1"]
D --> E["8"]
E --> F["Third Digit"]
To read CTCSS/DPL Values:
-
Short press the PTT button. The radio signals the first digit "1".
-
Short press PTT button again and the radio signals the second digit "1".
- Short press PTT again and radio signals the third digit "8".
Reading Auto-Scan Values
After finishing reading CTCSS/DPL codes, if you short press PTT once again, the radio takes you to Auto-Scan as per "Advanced Configuration (RDM2020 Model)" on page 44 (Step 3). Auto-Scan only has two values:
| Radio Signal Value | Status |
| 0 | OFF |
| 1 | ON |
| Note: Auto-Scan is set to OFF by default. | |
Changing Values
Each time the radio signals and beeps, the current value can be changed by short pressing SB1 to increase or by short pressing SB2 to decrease. The radio will then signal the new setting it has been configured to.
To abort the value configured, turn the radio OFF or change channel using the channel knob.
If the radio “rolls-over” to the “Idle” Advanced Configuration Mode, the radio emits a “chirp” and radio LED starts blinking green again. All values that were changed are automatically saved.
Configuring a Frequency
Assuming current frequency value is set up to channel 1, with the MURs default frequency "1" (equivalent to 154.60000 MHz), and it will be changed to Frequency Number = "4" (which is mapped to 151.88000 MHz), follow the sequence below:
- Enter Advanced Configuration Mode.
- Short press the PTT button to enter Frequency Mode. Radio will signal current value "1" with one beep (a red blinks).
- Press the SB1 button once to increase digit to "2" (two beeps & two red blinks).
- Press the SB1 button once to increase digit to "3" (three beeps & three red blinks).
- Press the SB1 button again to increase digit to "4" (four beeps & four red blinks).
- Long press the PTT button. LED indicator will show a green heartbeat to indicate "Idle" state.
- Long press the PTT button to exit Advanced Configuration Mode or turn the radio OFF.
Configuring a Code
Assuming current code value is set to factory default "001", and it will be changed to CTCSS/DPL Code = 103 follow the sequence below:
- Enter Advanced Configuration Mode.
- Short press the PTT button three times (Enter CTCSS/DPL Programming Selection Mode). Radio LED will blink orange to indicate that current value is "0".
- Press the SB1 button once (to change first digit to "1") LED indicator blinks red.
- Short press the PTT button (to move forward and program second digit). Radio LED blinks orange to indicate current value is "0".
- Short press the PTT button and move ahead to program the third digit. LED indicator blinks 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". The radio will signal the chosen value.
-
Long press the PTT button to save changes and return to "Idle" Advanced Configuration Mode. Once in "Idle" Advanced Configuration Mode, LED indicator will start blinking a green heartbeat.
- Long press the PTT button to exit Advanced Configuration Mode.
Configuring Auto-Scan
Auto-Scan is the last Advanced Configuration Mode and can be set to "ON" or "OFF" on a particular channel.
To set Auto-Scan to "ON":
- Enter Advanced Configuration Mode and select the desired channel.
- 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 (refer to "Reading Auto-Scan Values" on page 47).
- Short press the SB1 button to toggle ON/OFF the Auto-Scan feature in the channel. When ON radio LED will blink RED once. When OFF radio LED will blink ORANGE once.

| No Power | Recharge or replace the Li-Ion battery.Reposition or replace AA batteries.Extreme operating temperatures may affect battery life.Refer to See “About the Li-Ion Battery” on page 9. |
| Hearing other noises or conversation on a channel | Confirm Interference Eliminator Code is set.Frequency or Interference Eliminator Code may be in use.Change settings: either change frequencies or codes on all radios.Make sure radio is at the right frequency and code when transmitting.Refer to “Talking and Monitoring” on page 25 |
| Message Scrambled | Scramble Code might be ON, and/or setting does not match the other radios' settings. |
| Audio quality not good enough | Radio settings might not be matching up correctly. Double check frequencies, codes and bandwidths to make sure they are identical in all radios |
| Limited talk range | Steel and/or concrete structures, heavy foliage, buildings or vehicles decrease range. Check for clear line of sight to improve transmission.Wearing radio close to body such as in a pocket or on a belt decreases range.Change location of radio. To increase range and coverage, you can either reduce obstructions or use UHF radio instead of VHF MURS radio. UHF radios provide greater coverage in industrial and commercial buildings. (FCC license may be required). VHF MURS is designed for outdoor or smaller or wood structures. Increasing power provides greater signal range and increased penetration through obstructions. Refer to See Talking and Monitoring on page 25. |
| Message not transmitted or received | Make sure the PTT button is completely pressed when transmitting.Confirm that the radios have the same Channel, MURS Frequency, Interference Eliminator Code and Scramble Code settings. Refer to “Talking and Monitoring” section on page 25 for further information.Recharge, replace and/or reposition batteries. Refer to “About your Li-Ion Battery” section on page 9.Obstructions and operating indoors, or in vehicles, may interfere. Change location. Refer to “Talking and Monitoring” Section on page 25.Verify that the radio is not in Scan. Refer to “Scan” on page 25 and “Nuisance Channel Delete” on page 37. |
| Heavy static or interference | Radios are too close; they must be at least five feet apart.Radios are too far apart or obstacles are interfering with transmission.Refer to “Talking and Monitoring” on page 25. |
| Low batteries | Recharge or replace Li-lon battery. Replace AA batteries.Extreme operating temperatures affect battery life.Refer to “About the Li-lon Battery” on page 9. |
| Drop-in Charger LED light does not blink | Check that the radio/battery is properly inserted and check the battery/charger contacts to ensure that they are clean and charging pin is inserted correctly.Refer to “Charging the Battery” section on page 16, “Drop-in Tray Charger LED Indicators” section on page 19 and “Installing the Battery” section on page 11. |
| Low battery indicator is blinking although new batteries are inserted | Verify that the radio is set to the correct battery type.Refer to “Installing the Battery” section on page 11, “Installing Alkaline Batteries” section on page 12 and “About your Li-lon Battery” section on page 9. |
| Cannot activate VOX | VOX feature might be set to OFF.Use the CPS to ensure that the VOX Sensitivity level is not set to ‘0’.Accessory not working or not compatible.Refer to the “VOX” section on page 35. |
| Battery does not charge although it has been placed in the drop-in charger for a while | Check drop-in tray charger is properly connected and correspond to a compatible power supply.Ensure that you have the drop-in tray charger adjustable piece placed on the right position.Refer to “Charging the Battery Attached to the Radio” section on page 16.Check the charger’s LEDs indicators to see if the battery has a problem.
