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

GETTING STARTED Signal Strength Indicator and Channel Busy Indicators When there is activity on a frequency, the radio blinks the Signal Strength Indicator icon (without the bars) and the radio LED stays solid orange. The radio Signal Strength Indicator icon can change from 1 (weakest) to 6 (strongest) depending on the radio reception coverage. When the radio is in receiving mode, the radio displays the Signal Strength Indicator icon with bars. Note: Obstacles blocking the signal path affects the strength of incoming signal. 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. 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 pre-programmed on the radio: Signal Strength IndicatorEnglish

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

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 46.

• 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 RM 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 show ‘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. Note: This cloning cable is designed to operate only with compatible Motorola SUC RLN6175 and PMLN6394.
