BATTERIES AND CHARGERS XT Series radios provide Lithium-Ion batteries that come in different capacities that defines the battery life.

BATTERY FEATURES AND CHARGING

OPTIONS About the Li-Ion Battery The XT 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.English

TURNING RADIO ON/OFF

To turn ON the radio, rotate the On/Off/Volume Knob clockwise. The radio plays one of the following:

• Power up tone and channel number announcement, or

• Battery level and channel number announcements, or

• Silent (Audible tones disabled) The LED blinks red briefly. 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

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

• 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.

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

3. The LED Indicator stays solid red when 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:

• Interference Eliminator Codes are referred also as CTCSS/DPL codes or PL/DPL codesEnglish

GETTING STARTED TALK RANGE XT Series radios have been designed to maximize performance and improve transmission range in the field. It is recommended that you do no use the radios closer than 1.5 meters apart, to avoid interference. XT460 coverage is 16.250 square meters, 13 floors and 9 KM in flat areas. 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 kilometers of coverage. Medium range occurs when buildings and trees are in the way. 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 pre-programmed on the radio:

1. Channel: Current channel that the radio is

using, depending upon radio model.

2. Frequency: The frequency the radio uses to

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. For details of how to set up frequencies and CTCSS/DPL codes in the channels, refer to “Entering Advanced Configuration Mode” on page 27English

Motorola XT series radios can operate hands- free (VOX) when used with compatible VOX accessories. With Compatible VOX Accessories The default factory setting for VOX sensitivity level is Medium (level ‘2’). Before using VOX, set VOX level to a level different from ‘2’ via the Customer Programming Software (CPS). Then, perform the following steps:

1. Turn the radio OFF.

2. Open accessory cover.

3. Insert the audio accessory’s plug firmly into

6. To transmit, speak into accessory microphone

and to receive, stop talking.

7. VOX can be temporarily disabled by pressing

the PTT button or by removing the audio accessory. Note: To order accessories, contact your Motorola point of purchase Setting iVOX Sensitivity The sensitivity of the radio's accessory or microphone can be adjusted to suit different operating environments. iVOX sensitivity can be programmed via the CPS.

PROGRAMMING FEATURES PROGRAMMING FEATURES To easily program all the features in your radio, it is recommended to use the Customer Programming Software (CPS) and the programming cable. CPS software download is available for free at www.motorolasolutions.com/XTSeries.

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 three features:

• Frequency Selection,

• Codes (CTCSS/DPL), and

• Auto-Scan 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.English

PROGRAMMING FEATURES Entering Advanced Configuration Mode Note: Before configuring the features, make sure your radio is set to the channel you wish to program. You can do so before entering Advanced Configuration Mode or at any time during the Advanced Configuration Mode by rotating the Channel Selector Knob until you reach the desired channel. To read or modify Frequencies, Codes and Auto-Scan, set the radio to ‘Advanced Configuration Mode’ by long pressing both the PTT and the SB1 button simultaneously for 3 to 5 seconds while turning ON the radio until you hear an audible voice saying “Programming Mode” and “Channel Number”. The LED Indicator starts blinking a green heartbeat. Note: ‘Idle’ Programming Mode is the stage in the Programming Mode where the radio waits for the user to start the radio programming cycle. Once you are in the ‘Idle’ Programming Mode, you will be able to hear the Frequencies, Codes and Auto-Scan settings by short pressing the PTT button to navigate along the different programmable features. Entering Frequencies Values XT Series radios use PMR446 band that has 8 frequencies available . In ‘Idle’ Programming mode, the Channel number becomes the first changeable value. Select the desired channel by turning the Channel Selector Knob. An audible voice indicated the selected channel to configure. Short pressing the PTT button allows you to cycle through the other features available for configuration. Use the SB1 and SB2 button to change the values.

• long press the PTT button twice to exit ‘Idle’ Programming Mode and return to the normal radio operation. Note:

• To exit the programming mode without saving, turn OFF the radio.

• If you ‘roll-over’ to the beginning of ‘Idle’ Programming Mode, you will hear “Channel Number” and the LED Indicator blinks green again. All changed values will be automatically saved.English

1. I got distracted while programming and forgot

which feature I was programming. What should I do? Return to ‘Idle’ Programming Mode and start over. You will not be able to return to Programming Mode (the radio does not provide further way to let you know the specific stage you are at in the Programming Mode). Therefore you can:

• Long press the PTT button. The radio will return to ‘Idle’ Programming Mode or,

• Turn OFF the radio and enter Programming Mode again. (Refer to “Entering Advanced Configuration Mode” on page 27 for more information)

2. I am trying to program a frequency (or a code)

value but the radio would not do it. It rolled over and took me back to value ‘0’. The radio disallows you to program any value that is not available in the frequencies and codes pool. For example, if you try to program code 220, the radio would not accept it as the maximum value allowed is 219. Same goes for the frequencies. Refer to the“Frequency and Code Charts” on page 47 to make sure you are programming a valid value.

3. I am trying to enter the Programming Mode but

the radio would not do it. The radio may be locked using the CPS to disallow Front Panel Programming. To re- enable, use the CPS.

4. I programmed the wrong value when I was

programming. How can I erase or re-program the value? If you programmed the wrong value, you can either:

• ‘Roll-over’ the radio. The radio ‘roll-over’ each time it reaches the maximum value allowed. Keep increasing (short press the SB1 button) or decreasing (short press the SB2 button) until you get the desired value or,English

PROGRAMMING FEATURES

• Turn OFF the radio and start over.

5. I just programmed the value I wanted. How do I

exit the Programming Mode? You can either:

• long press the PTT button twice to exit if you’re in the Programming Mode or,

• Long press the PTT button once if you are already in the ‘Idle’ Programming mode.

6. I am done programming the features in this

channel. How do I program another channel? Short press the PTT button several times until you hear “Channel Number”. Switch channel by rotating the Channel Selector Knob. If you wish to save the changes, make sure you are in the ‘Idle’ Programming Mode before switching the channel, otherwise you will lose the changes made.

PROGRAMMING FEATURES

OTHER PROGRAMMING FEATURES

Scan Scan allows you to monitor other channels to detect conversations. When the radio detects a transmission, it stops scanning and goes to the active channel. This allows you to listen and talk to people in that channel without having to change channel. If there is valid channel activity on Channel 2, the radio stays on Channel 1 and you will not hear Channel 2. After the talking has stopped in Channel 1, the radio waits for 5 seconds before resuming scan again.

• To start scanning, press the SBx (x=1 or 2) button. (Scan is defaulted on SB2 but can be programmed to either SB1 or SB2 button via CPS). When the radio detects channel activity, it stops on that channel until the activity ends. You can respond on that channel without having to switch channels by pressing the PTT button. If no transmission occurs within 5 seconds, scanning resumes.

• To stop scanning, short press the SB1 or SB2 button (programmed for scan) again.

• If you want to scan a channel without the Interference Eliminator Codes (CTCSS/DPL), set the code settings for the channels to ‘0’ in the CTCSS/DPL Programming Selection Mode. Note: Whenever the radio is set to Scan, the LED Indicator blinks a Red Heartbeat. Editing Scan List Scan List can be edited by using the CPS. For more information refer to “Customer Programming Software (CPS)” on page 33.English

PROGRAMMING FEATURES 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 ties up the radio’s scanning feature. To delete a channel from the Scan List:

• Start Scan mode by short pressing the SB1 or SB2 (programmed for scan) button.

• Wait until the radio stops receiving at the channel you wish to eliminate. Long press the SB2 button to delete it. You cannot delete the channel with scan enabled (home channel).

• The channel will not be scanned again until you exit the Scan mode by short pressing the SB1 or SB2 (programmed for scan) button again or by turning OFF the radio and back ON.

CUSTOMER PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE

(CPS) Figure 1: Setting up the radio to the CPS The easiest way to program or change features in your radio is by using the Customer Programming Software (CPS) and the CPS Programming Cable(*). CPS Software is available for free as web based downloadable software at: www.motorolasolutions.com/XTseries Drop-In Tray Charger Tray Radio to be programmed USB Ports CPS Programming CableEnglish

PROGRAMMING FEATURES To program, connect the XT Series radio via the Drop-in Charger Tray and CPS Programming Cable as shown in Figure 1 on page 33. Toggle the cable switch of the CPS Programming Cable to ‘CPS Mode’. CPS allows you to program frequencies, PL/ DPL Codes as well as other features such as: Time-out Timer, 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. For more information, refer to Features Summary Chart Section at the end of the User Guide. Note: (*) CPS Programming Cable P/N# HKKN4027_ is an accessory sold separately. Please contact your Motorola point of purchase for more information. Time-Out Timer This timer sets the amount of time that the radio can continuously transmit before the transmission is automatically terminated. The default setting is 60 seconds and can be changed using the CPS. Call Tones Call Tones feature allows you to transmit an audible tone to other radios on the same channel to alert them that you are about to talk or to alert them without speaking. To use this feature, the Call Tones must be programmed to either SB1 or SB2 and 1 of the 3 pre-recorded tones is selected. Scramble The Scramble feature makes transmissions sound garbled to anyone listening without the same code. Scramble default value is OFF. To change the scramble code during radio’s normal operation, the Scramble feature must be programmed to either SB1 or SB2.English

PROGRAMMING FEATURES Reverse Burst Reverse Burst eliminates unwanted noise (squelch tail) during loss of carrier detection. You can select values of either 180 or 240 to be compatible with other radios. The default value is 180. 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

PROGRAMMING FEATURES CLONING RADIOS You can clone XT Series radio profiles from one Source radio to a Target radio by using any one of these 3 methods:

• Using a Multi Unit Charger (MUC- optional accessory),

• Using 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 or 4 while the Target radio has to be in Pocket 2 or 5, matching in the MUCs pockets by pairs as follows:

• 4 and 5. 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

PROGRAMMING FEATURES simultaneously while turning the radio ON.

• Wait for 3 seconds before releasing the buttons until the audible tone “Cloning” is heard.

3. Place the Source radio in the source pocket that

pairs with the target pocket you chose in step 1. Press and release the SB1 button.

4. After cloning is completed, the Source radio will

announce either “successful” (cloning is successful) or “fail” (cloning has failed). 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).

5. Once you have completed the cloning process,

turn the radios OFF and ON to exit the ‘cloning’ mode. Further details on how to clone radios are explained in the Instructions Sheet provided with the MUC. When ordering the MUC, refer to P/N# PMLN6384_. Notes:

• If cloning fails, refer to “What To Do If Cloning Fails” on page 40.

• 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.English

PROGRAMMING FEATURES CPS and Cloning Cables (Optional Accessory)

• Both CPS and Cloning Cables are made to work either with XT Series radios or XTNi Series radios. Cloning cable supports a mix of XT and XTNi series radios.

• CPS cable programs XT series radios. Make sure the cable switch is in “Flash” or “CPS” position. To program a XTNi radio with the CPS cable, make sure the cable switch is in “CPS” position and the USB converter provided in the CPS cable kit is attached to the cable.

• Cloning cable allows you to clone: –XT Series radios. Make sure the switch is in “Cloning” or “Legacy” position. –XTNi Series radios. Make sure the switch is in “Legacy” position with one USB converter on each end of the cloning cable. –XT Series and XTNi Series radios. Make sure the switch is in “Legacy” position and use a USB converter to the XTNi Single-Unit Charger. The Cloning Cable Kit provides 1 USB converter.

PROGRAMMING FEATURES Cloning Radio using the Radio to Radio (R2R) Cloning Cable (Optional Accessory) Operating Instructions

1. Before starting the cloning process, make sure

• A fully charged battery on each of the radios.

• Two Single-Unit Chargers (SUC), or 2 SUC for cloning XT Series radios, or 1 SUC for XT Series radio and 1 SUC for XTNi Series radio.

• Turn OFF the radios and,

connector to the first SUC and 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. Only data communication is being established between the two radios.

4. Turn ON the Target Radio and place it into one

5. For the Source Radio, power ON the radio with

the following sequence:

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

• Wait 3 seconds before releasing the buttons and you hear a distinctive audible tone saying the word “Cloning”.

6. Place the Source Radio in its SUC. Press and

release the SB1 button.

7. When the cloning is completed, the Source

Radio audible voice will announce eitherEnglish

PROGRAMMING FEATURES “successful” (cloning is successful) or “fail” (cloning process has failed). If the Source Radio is a display model radio, it will either

ow ‘Pass’ or ‘Fail’ on the display (a tone will be heard within 5 seconds).

8. Once the cloning process is completed, turn the

Radios OFF and ON again to exit “Clone” mode. What To Do If Cloning Fails The radio audible voice will announce “Fail” indicating that the cloning process has failed. In the event that the cloning fails, perform each of the following steps before attempting to start cloning process again:

1. Ensure that the batteries on both radios are fully

2. Check the cloning cable connection on both

3. Ensure that the battery is engaged properly on

4. Ensure that there is no debris in the charging

tray or on the radio contacts.

5. Ensure that the Target radio is turned ON.

6. Ensure that the Source radio is in cloning mode.

7. Ensure that the two radios are both from the

same frequency band, same region and have the same transmission power.
