BATTERY FEATURES
About the Li-Ion Battery
The RM Series radio comes 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.
RADIO OVERVIEW
English 14
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.

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 preprogrammed on the radio:
1. Channel: Current channel that the radio is
using, depending on radio model.
2. Frequency: The frequency the radio uses to
transmit/receive.
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.
5. Bandwidth: Some frequencies have selectable
channel spacing, which must match other
radios for optimum audio quality (only
available for RMU2043).
For details on how to set up frequencies and
CTCSS/DPL codes in the channels, refer to
“Programming Selection Mode” in page 36.

It rolled over and took me back to value
‘0’.
The radio will not allow you to program any
values that are 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
thing will happen with frequencies. Check the
Frequencies and Codes Charts section to
make sure you are programming a valid
number.
3. I am trying to enter the Programming
Mode but the radio would not do it.
The radio might be locked using the CPS to not

OTHER PROGRAMMING FEATURES
Scan
Scan allows you to monitor other channels to detect
conversations. When the radio detects a
transmission, it will stop scanning and will receive on
the active channel. This will allow you to listen and
talk to people on that channel without having to
change channel. If there are transmissions on
another channel once the radio has stopped
scanning then you will not hear that activity. After
activity has ceased on the channel which the radio
has stopped, scanning will resume again after 5
seconds of no activity on that channel.
•By pressing the PTT button while the radio is
scanning, the radio will transmit on the channel
which was selected before Scan was activated.
If no transmission occurs within five seconds,
scanning will resume.
•If you want to scan a channel without
Interference Eliminator Codes (CTCSS/DPL),
set the code settings for the channels to ‘0’ in the
CTCSS/DPL Programming Selection Mode.
Whenever the radio is set up in Scan, the
LED Indicator will signal a Red heartbeat.
•To start scanning, press the SBx (x=1 or 2)

software at:
www.motorolasolutions.com/RMseries
To program, connect the RM Series radio
via the Drop-in Charger Tray and CPS
Programming Cable as shown in the picture
above. (Need to select CPS mode on the
cable switch).
CPS allows the user 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 to avoid accidentally erasing the
current radio settings. It also provides security
by giving the option to set up a password for
radio profile management. Please refer to
Features Summary Chart Section at the end
of the user guide for more details.

which must match with other radios for
optimum audio quality. For details, refer to
Frequency and Code Charts section.
Time-Out Timer
This timer sets the amount of time that the
radio can continuously transmit before
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 channel.
The power levels for RM Series toggle
between 2W and 1W.
Call Tones
Call Tones feature allows you to transmit an
audible tone to other radios on the same
channel and alerting them that you are about
to talk or alerting them
without speaking. The call tones feature must
be programmed to SB1 or SB2 and 1 of 3 pre-
recorded tones selected
Scramble
The Scramble feature makes transmissions
sound garbled to anyone listening without the
same code. Scramble default value is OFF.
The Scramble feature should be programmed
to SB1 or SB2, If the scramble code need to
be changed during radio's normal operation.
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. Default 180.
