BATTERIES AND CHARGERS

XTNi™ Series radios provide Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries that comes in different capacities that will define the battery life. It also offers the option to use Alkaline batteries. The radio comes equipped with a rapid charger.

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.

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.

text_image CHANNEL

TALK RANGE

XTNi™ Series 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 proper two-way radio communication, the channel, frequency, and interference eliminator codes must be the same on both radios. This will depend on the stored profile that has been preprogrammed on the radio:

  1. Channel: Current channel that the radio is using, depending upon radio model.
  2. Frequency: The frequency your radio uses to transmit/receive.
  3. Interference Eliminator Code: These codes help minimize interference by providing you with a choice of code combinations.

  4. Scramble Code: Codes that make your 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 of how to set up frequencies and CTCSS/DPL codes in your channels, "Entering Programming Mode" on page 38.

  2. T wo single unit chargers and a Radio-to-Radio cloning cable (optional accessory)

  3. the C PS

Cloning with a Multi-Unit Charger (MUC)
MOTOROLA PMR XTNiD - CLONING RADIOS - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a walkie-talkie rack with two speakers and multiple base stations (no text or symbols)

To clone radios using the MUC, there must be at least two radios:

- a Source radio(radio to be cloned) and

- a Target radio (radio to which the configuration of the “source radio” will be copied or cloned)

The Source radio has to be in Pocket 1, 3 or 5 while the Target radio to be cloned has to be in Pockets 2, 4 or 6, matching the MUC's 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.

Follow cloning instructions explained in pages 51-52 from step 4 through step 8 (take into account that when instructions refer to "SUC", this is equivalent in the MUC instructions to "pocket".

Further details on how to clone units are explained in the instructions sheet provided with the MUC.

To order the MUC, see “Chargers” on page 65 for the MUC part number.

WARNINGPaired target radios and source radios must be of the same band (UHF or VHF), type (Display or non-Display) and region.

  2. A fully charged battery on each one of the radios.

  3. Two Single Unit Chargers (SUC).
  4. Turned OFF the radios and,
  5. Both radios are of the same radio model.

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

  7. 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:

  3. Long press the PTT button and SB2 simultaneously while turning the radio ON.

  4. Wait for 3 seconds before releasing the buttons until a distinctive audible tone is heard.

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

  6. 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 in no more than 5 seconds).
  7. Once you have completed the cloning process, turn the radios OFF and ON in order 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 both radios are both from the same type. (same frequency band, same front panel (display/non display), same region and same transmission power).
