RADIO OVERVIEW BATTERY FEATURES RDX Series radios provide Lithium-Ion batteries that come in different capacities that defines the battery life. About the Li-Ion Battery The RDX 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 Solutions batteries are designed specifically to be used with a Motorola Solutions charger and vice versa. Charging in non-Motorola Solutions 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 Solutions rapid-rate battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that batteries are charged within the temperature limits stated above.

RADIO OVERVIEW 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 Solutions fully endorses and encourages the recycling of Li-Ion batteries. In the U.S. and Canada, Motorola Solutions 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.

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 manually. If there are transmissions on another channel, you will not hear that activity once the radio has stopped scanning. Once the activity on transmitting channel stops, the radio waits for 5 seconds before resuming scan again.
- To start scanning, press the SB1 or SB2 button. Notes: Scan has to be programmed either to SB1 or SB2 button via CPS. SB2 is by default Scan/Nuisance Channel delete button.
- To stop scanning, short press the SB1 or SB2 button (programmed for scan) again.
- By pressing the PTT button while the radio is scanning, the radio will transmit on the channel which was previously selected before Scan is activated. If no transmission occurs within 5 seconds, scanning resumes.
- 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 Notes: 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 43 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. MN002895A01_final.book Page 42 Thursday, January 5, 2017 10:51 AMEnglish
PROGRAMMING FEATURES

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/RDX To program, connect the RM Series radio via the Drop-in Charger Tray and CPS Programming Cable as shown in Figure 1 on page 43. 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: Bandwidth Select, Time-out Timer, Power 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. 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.

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. Power Select Power Select allows you to select between high and low transmission power per frequency in each channel. The power levels for RDX High Power are 2/ 4W for UHF and 2/5W for VHF. 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. 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.

WEATHER FEATURE (NOT FOR RDU4103) The RDX radio weather mode can be programmed to operate and receive weather channels that are broadcast by the National Weather Radio (NWR). The NWR system is a nationwide network of radio stations (more than 1000 stations in United States) that broadcast continuous weather information for the public. The NWR broadcasts all types of weather service warnings, watches, forecasts and other hazard information. The NWR can also broadcast non- weather alerts such as national security, natural, environmental, and public safety in conjunctions with the Emergency Alert System (EAS). The RDX radio weather feature can detect weather alerts/warnings that are broadcast by NWR. The RDX+ radio can be programmed to detect the analog tone or digital-over-audio protocol. The analog tone is a 1050 Hz tone (Warning Alarm Tone), which is issued for 10 seconds immediately before the warning message by the NWR transmitter. When RDX radio detects the Warning Alarm tone, it unmutes audio and MN002895A01_final.book Page 45 Thursday, January 5, 2017 10:51 AMEnglish
PROGRAMMING FEATURES allows the user to hear the weather alert message. As for digital-over- audio protocol, it is a newer technology called Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) that allows weather radio to receive digital data stream about the type of weather events, timing, duration, and location. When RDX radio detects these special warnings, the radio can be programmed to automatically generate a loud tone, enable LED indicator, and display “hazard” status on the display. With the SAME technology, the RDX radio weather mode can be programmed to detect the type of weather warnings or watches for a specified the county or counties. Further information about the National Weather Radio system such as network updates, transmitter coverage maps, and SAME event codes can be found on the Internet at www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/. Weather Alert Mode Select the alert mode the radio will respond to alerts sent from the National Weather Service, which transmitted prior to the broadcast of any message about a life or property threatening event. Choices available are:

7. In Weather Channel Mode, the radio is in a
muted state until it detects the WAT/SAME. When the radio detects the WAT, the radio unmutes and allows the user to hear the weather alert message.
8. In two-way mode (on two-way channel),
Weather Alert feature becomes a special scan feature. The radio scans between the current selected two-way channel and the selected weather channel. When the radio detects WAT/ SAME signal on the weather channel, the radio unmutes to allow the user to listen the weather message. For Tone Alert, the radio stays in receiving mode until weather signal is weak or user presses the PTT button or changes the channel using the Channel Selector Knob. For SAME alert, whether the radio stays in receiving mode or switches back to two-way mode depending on the setting of the EOM Enabled.
Warning: RDX radio does not detect Weather Alert
while it is receiving or transmitting on a two-way channel. EOM Enabled This feature is only available for SAME Alert mode and it is only effective when the radio operates in two- way mode or Weather Channel mode. When checked and in two-way mode, the radio switches back to two- way channel and continues to weather scan after it receives end of message (EOM). For weather channel, the radio mutes and continues to look for new SAME alert after it receives EOM. When unchecked, it stays in receiving mode until weather signal is weak or user presses the PTT button or changes the channel using the Channel Selector Knob. New Alert Tone Timer Select a pre-defined time for a radio to play the new alert tone. When a radio receives a new SAME alert message, the LED screen lights up and the radio starts playing the new alert tone at the end of the message. Users have the ability to configure how long the alert tone will be played. Choices available are: MN002895A01_final.book Page 47 Thursday, January 5, 2017 10:51 AMEnglish
PROGRAMMING FEATURES
- 0 – forever until a button is pressed, or user switches channel, or the new alert message is expired.
- 30 min. Note: Embedded in the SAME message is the duration of the alert message. The RDX radio continues to display the alert until the duration expiration time.
The RDX radio is a programmable weather radio that allows users to choose the type of weather warnings and watches that will alarm. The radio can be programmed to allow or block an event by its type. All Events When checked, the radio allows for all SAME events. Alert Test Event When SAME alert is enabled, the radio responds to any test events. When checked, the radio alerts the same way as other SAME alert messages. When unchecked, the radio displays only the Message, lights the alert LED without unmuting the radio. The radio does not play the new alert tone at this time. Note: No matter how the user programs the event filter, some critical events cannot be blocked. The National Weather Service broadcast a test alert every week on Wednesday between 11 AM and Noon. Users should use test alert to ensure that their radios are functioning properly. See also: The Critical Events Table. WARNING When checked, the radio allows all warning events. Warning events are events that alone pose a significant threat to public safety and/or property. Note: No matter how the user programs the event filter, some critical events cannot be blocked. See also: “The Critical Events Table” on page 50. WATCH When checked, the radio allows all watch events. Watches are events that meet the classification of a warning, but either the onset time, probability of occurrence or location is uncertain.
