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.
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.
13
RADIO OVERVIEW
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.
English
RADIO OVERVIEW
Battery Recycling and Disposal
English
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.
14
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.

Notes:
•
This Multi Unit Charger also allows you to
clone up to 2 radios (2 Source radios and 2
Target radios). Refer to page 51 for details.
•
Further details on MUC’s operation are explained
in the Instructions Sheet provided with the MUC.

section.
English
The Multi Unit Charger (MUC) allows drop-in
charging of up to 6 radios or batteries. Batteries
can be charged with the radios or removed and
placed in the MUC separately. Each of the 6
charging pockets can hold a radio (with or
without holster) or battery, but not both.
1.
Insert the power cord plug into the MUC’s jack.
2.
Place the charger on a flat surface.
3.
Plug the cord into an AC outlet.
4.
Turn the radio OFF.
5.
Insert the radio or battery into the charging
pocket.

Advanced Configuration
Advanced Configuration is a configuration
mode that allows the customization of
additional features via the front panel.
The non-display models don't have a display
to show programmed values, then
navigation is guided via voice prompt.
When the radio is set to Advanced
Configuration, you are able to read and modify
four features:
•
Frequency Selection
•
CTCSS/DPL Codes
•
Auto-Scan.
•
Active Channels
The Frequency 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.
The Active Channels feature allows you to
increase or decrease the amount of
channels active (In the range of maximum
channels).
English

Entering Advanced Configuration Mode
Note:
Before programming 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 pressing SB2
until reaching the desired channel.
Note:
'Idle' Programming Mode is the stage of
the Programming Mode in which the
radio is waiting for the user to start the
radio programming cycle.
Entering Frequencies Values
RM Series radios have 89 frequencies for
UHF in US and for Canada UHF, there are
only 2 frequencies.
Once in ‘Idle’ Programming Mode, the first
value available to change is Channel number,
you can change the channel by pressing SB2

Saving Settings
If you are satisfied with the setting, you
can either:
•
short press PTT to continue

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.
•
To start scanning, press the SBx (x=1 or 2)
button (Scan has to be programmed to
either SB1 or SB2 via CPS). SB2 default to

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

Power Select allows you to select between
high and low transmission power per channel.

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
