For more information, see “Battery Features” on page 14.
RADIO OVERVIEWEnglish  13This User Guide covers multiple RM Series models, and may detail some features your radio does not have. The radio’s model is shown at the bottom of the radio.
RADIO OVERVIEWEnglish   14BATTERY FEATURESRM Series radios provide Lithium-Ion batteries that come in different capacities that will define the battery life. About the Li-Ion BatteryThe 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 OVERVIEWEnglish  15Battery Recycling and DisposalLi-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-BATTERYThis internet site and telephone number also provides other useful information concerning recycling options for consumers, businesses and governmental agencies.

What should I do?Return to 'Idle' Programming Mode and start over.  • 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 (orcode) 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 220, the radio would not accept it, as the maximum value allowed is 219. Same thing will happen with frequencies.

PROGRAMMING FEATURESEnglish   46OTHER PROGRAMMING FEATURESScanScan 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 is 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 Fast Red Heartbeat.••To stop scanning, short press the SBxbutton again.To start scanning, press the SBx (x=1 or 2) button (Scan is defaulted on SB2 but can be programmed to either SB1 or SB2 via CPS). When the radio detects channel activity, it will stop on that channel until the activity ends. You can respond to the caller on that channel without having to switch channels by pressing PTT.
PROGRAMMING FEATURESEnglish  47Editing Scan ListScan Lists can be edited by using the CPS (refer to CPS section on page 46) Nuisance Channel DeleteNuisance Channel Delete allows you to temporarily remove channels from the Scan List. This feature is useful when frequent, irrelevant conversations on a channel tie up the scanning feature, becoming a nuisance to the user.To delete a channel from the Scan List:•To start scanning, press the SBx (x=1 or  x=2)  button  (Scan  has  to  be programmed to either SB1 or SB2 via CPS).  SB2  by  default  programmed  to Scan/Nuisance Channel Delete•Wait until the radio stops on the channel you wish to eliminate, then long press the SBx button to delete it. (Cannot delete home channel  - the channel that the user enables scan on).•The channel will not be scanned again until  you  exit  Scan  by  short  pressing the SBx button again or by turning the radio OFF and back ON.
PROGRAMMING FEATURESEnglish   48CPS (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. (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.Note: (*) CPS Programming Cable P/N HKKN4027A  is an accessory sold separately. Please contact your Motorola point of purchase for more information.
PROGRAMMING FEATURESEnglish  49Time-Out TimerThis 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 SelectPower 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 TonesCall 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 themwithout speaking. The call tones feature must be programmed to SB1 or SB2 and 1 of 3 pre-recorded tones selectedScramble      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 BurstReverse 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 is 180.Notes:•The features described in previous pagesare  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.
PROGRAMMING FEATURESEnglish   50Weather Channel
Weather Channel (Cont.)The channel position 8 on all RM Series radios with channel selector knob is configured at the factory as a NOAA Weather Radio. The NOAA Weather Radio feature can be disabled or configured to any of the other available channel positions via the Customer Programming Software or in Advanced Configuration Mode. When a channel that has the NOAA Weather Radio enabled is selected, the RM radio generates a voice announcement indicating channel and weather frequency number, e.g. "Channel 8: Weather 1".  The weather frequency number announced is which of the 7 NOAA national frequencies is currently tuned in the weather radio.  The weather frequency can be changed while in the Weather Channel by Pressing SB2 to enter Weather menu then SB1 acts as up button and SB2 acts down button.  Also, PTT acts as menu button to advance to channel menu or weather alert menu.NOAA Weather AlertThe RM Series radio is capable of monitoring the NOAA frequency for any Alerts issued by the National Weather Service.  When the weather alert feature is enabled the radio will "mute" the daily weather radio, you can then move the channel position to a standard two way radio frequency and continue normal communication.  The Weather Alert allows the radio to "listen" for a Warning Alarm Tone (WAT) from the National Weather Service.  If a WAT is detected the weather radio will "un-mute" and the message being broadcasted will be heard on the RM radio.If the RM radio is tuned to a two-way channel (normal operation + weather alert on) when a WAT is detected, the radio will "un-mute" and the message being broadcasted will be heard.  While monitoring an alert, pressing the PTT or changing channels will exit the weather alert and go back to normal operation.Please note that using the Weather Alert feature will impact normal battery life.PROGRAMMING FEATURES
