BATTERY FEATURES
RM Series radios provide Lithium-Ion
batteries that come in different capacities
that will define the battery life.
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.

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:

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.

When the radio is set to Programming Mode,
you are able to read and modify four features:
•Select Frequencies from a Pre-Defined list
•Codes (CTCSS/DPL)
• Auto-Scan.
The Programming Frequencies feature allows
you to select frequencies for each channel.
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.

Programming Mode FAQ
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, as you will not be able to return to the
Programming Mode (the radio does not provide
further way to let you know the specific stage
you are at when programming). Therefore you
can:
• Long press the PTT button. The radio will return
to the 'Idle' Programming Mode or,
• Turn OFF the radio and enter Programming
Mode again (see instructions in the beginning of
this section)
2. I am trying to program a frequency (or
code) value but the radio would not do it.
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 128, the radio would not accept
it, as the maximum value allowed is 122. 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
allow Front Panel Programming. To re-enable,
use the CPS.

4. When I was programming I made a
mistake and programmed the wrong
value. How can I erase it or re-program
it?
If you make a mistake while programming a
value you have two choices:
• The radio roll-over each time it reaches a
maximum value. Keep increasing (short press
SB1) or decreasing (short pressing SB2) until
you get the desired value or,
•Turn OFF the radio and start-over.
5. I just programmed the value I wanted.
How do I exit Programming Mode?
• If you are in Programming Mode you can exit by
long pressing the PTT button twice.
• If you are already in the ‘Idle’ Programming
Mode, long press the PTT button once.
6. I am done programming the features in
this channel and want to program another
channel.
Press short PTT several times until you hear
"Channel Number", then switch channel using
SB1 and SB2. If you wish to save the changes,
make sure you are in the ‘Idle’ Programming
Mode before switching the channel as
otherwise you will lose the changes made.

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 stop
on the active channel. This will allow you to
listen and talk to people on that channel without
having to change the channel knob. If there is
talking on Channel 2 during this time, the radio
will stay on Channel 1 and you will not hear
Channel 2. After talking has stopped in
Channel 1, the radio waits for 5 seconds before
resuming scan again.
• To start scanning, press the SB2 button (*). When
the radio detects channel activity, it will stops on
that channel until the activity ends. You can talk
to the person(s) transmitting without having to
switch channels by pressing PTT.
• To stop scanning, short press the SB2 button
again.
• 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.

CPS (COMPUTER PROGRAMMING
SOFTWARE)
The easiest way to program or change features
in your radio is by using the Computer
Programming Software (CPS) and the CPS
Programming Cable(*). CPS Software is
available for free as web based downloadable
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.
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 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.
Please refer to Features Summary Chart

Series 2W toggle between 1W and 2W.
Note: Some frequencies may have FCC transmit
power restrictions that do not allow them to
be set at a higher power level. For details
see the Frequencies and Code Chart
Section.
Call Tones
Call Tones feature allows you to transmit to
other radios in your group by alerting them
that you are about to talk or alerting them
without speaking.
Scramble
The Scramble feature makes transmissions
sound garbled to anyone listening without the
same code. Scramble default value is OFF.
Reverse Burst
Reverse Burst eliminates unwanted noise
(squelch tail) during loss of carrier detection.
You can select values of either 180/240.
