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 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
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.

GETTING STARTED
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.
For details on how to set up frequencies and
CTCSS/DPL codes in the channels, refer to
“Advanced Configuration Mode” on page 32.

PROGRAMMING FEATURES
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. You will not be able to return to
Programming Mode (the radio does not provide
further way to let you know the specific stage
you are at in the Programming Mode).
Therefore you can:
• Long press the PTT button. The radio will return
to ‘Idle’ Programming Mode or,
•Turn OFF the radio and enter Programming
Mode again. (Refer to “Entering Advanced
Configuration Mode” on page 35 for more
information)
2. I am trying to program a frequency (or a code)
value but the radio would not do it. It rolled over
and took me back to value ‘0’.
The radio disallow you to program any value
that is 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 goes for
the frequencies. Refer to the“Frequency and
Code Charts” on page 65 to make sure you
are programming a valid value.
3. I am trying to enter the Programming Mode but
the radio would not do it.
The radio may be locked using the CPS to
disallow Front Panel Programming. To re-
enable, use the CPS.
4. I programmed the wrong value when I was
programming. How can I erase or re-program
the value?
If you programmed the wrong value, you can
either:
• ‘Roll-over’ the radio. The radio ‘roll-over’ each
time it reaches the maximum value allowed. Keep
increasing (short press the SB1 button) or
decreasing (short press the SB2 button) until you
get the desired value or,

PROGRAMMING FEATURES
WEATHER FEATURE (not for RDU4103+)
The RDX radio weather mode can be
programmed to operate and receive weather
channels that are broadcasted by the National
Weather Radio (NWR). The National Weather
Radio 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 broadcasted
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 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.

PROGRAMMING FEATURES
The Weather Alert has two modes of
operations:
1. 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.
2. 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
DRAFT 1

PROGRAMMING FEATURES
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:
• 0 – forever until a button is pressed, or user
switches channel, or the new alert message is
expired.
• 5 minutes.
• 10 minutes.
• 30 minutes.
Notes: 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.

CLONING RADIOS
You can clone RDX Series™ radio profiles from
one Source radio to a Target radio by using any
one of these 3 methods:
• a Multi Unit Charger (optional accessory),
• 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, 3 or 5
while the Target radio has to be in Pocket 2, 4
or 6, matching in the MUCs pockets by pairs as
follows:
• 1 and 2 or,
• 3 and 4 or,
• 5 and 6 (*).
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
below:
• Long press the PTT button and SB2
simultaneously while turning the radio
ON.

• Wait for 3 seconds before releasing the
buttons until a distinctive audible tone 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 SB1.
4. After cloning is completed, the Source radio will
sound either a ‘pass’ tone (cloning was
successful) or a ‘fail’ tone (cloning process has
failed). The ‘pass’ tone sounds like a good key
‘chirp’ whereas the ‘fail’ tone sounds similar to a
‘bonk’ tone. 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.
• If cloning fails please refer to “What To Do if
Cloning Fails” on page 54.
Further details on how to clone radios are
explained in the Instructions Sheet provided
with the MUC.
When ordering the MUC, please refer to P/N
RLN6309.
Notes:
• 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.
