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. 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.

To remove, pull back the metal release tab on the belt clip tab and push the spring action belt clip upward to remove.
The radio comes equipped with a Standard Charger. Charging with the Drop-in Tray Single Unit Charger (SUC) To charge the battery (with the radio attached), place it in a Motorola-approved Drop-in Tray Single Unit Charger or Drop-in Tray Multi Unit Charger. Note: When acquiring additional chargers or power supplies, make sure you have similar drop-in tray chargers and power supplies sets (all “rapid” or all “standard”). For part number details, refer to “Chargers” on page 44.
Charging a Standalone Battery Charging the Standard Battery The drop-in tray charger has a removable bracket that is adjustable depending on the type of battery that needs to be charged. It is designed to charge either the battery (with the radio) or a standalone battery. The drop-in tray charger's default position will charge a standard battery.

CLONING RADIOS CLONING RADIOS You can clone RDX™ Series radio profiles from one radio (also known as the ‘Source’ radio) to a second radio (also known as the ‘Target’ radio) by using any one of these 2 methods: • 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).
3. Place the Source radio in the source pocket that Notes: pairs with the target pocket you chose in step 1. • Paired target radios and source radios must be of the same type in order for cloning to run successfully. • (*) MUC pockets numbers should be read from left to right with the Motorola logo facing front. 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).
Target Radio: Radio to which the configuration of the “Source Radio” will be copied (cloned). 5. 1. • Long press the Push-to-Talk (PTT) and Side Button 2 (SB2) simultaneously while turning the radio ON. • Wait for 3 seconds before releasing the buttons until a distinctive audible tone is heard. Before beginning the cloning process, make following the sequence below: sure you have: • A fully charged battery on each one of the radios. • Two Single Unit Chargers (SUC).
8. Once you have completed the cloning process, Make sure that radios are both from the same type (same frequency band, same front panel bring them to normal user mode (exit “clone” (display/non display), same region and same mode). transmission power). What to Do If Cloning Fails Note: The radio will emit an audible “bonk” indicating that the cloning process has failed. In the event that cloning fails, try performing each of the following before trying to start the cloning process again.
Symptom Try This... Recharge or replace the Li-Ion battery. Reposition or replace AA batteries. No Power Extreme operating temperatures may affect battery life. Refer to See “About the Li-Ion Battery” on page 16. Confirm Interference Eliminator Code is set. Frequency or Interference Hearing other noises or Eliminator Code may be in use. Change settings: either change frequencies or conversation on a channel codes on all radios. Make sure radio is at the right frequency and code when transmitting.
TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom Try This... Steel and/or concrete structures, heavy foliage, buildings or vehicles decrease range. Check for clear line of sight to improve transmission. Wearing radio close to body such as in a pocket or on a belt decreases range. Change location of radio. To increase range and coverage, you can either reduce obstructions, Limited talk range increase power, or use UHF radio instead of VHF radio. UHF radios provide greater coverage in industrial and commercial buildings.
Try This... TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom VOX feature might be set to OFF. Cannot activate VOX Use the CPS to ensure that the VOX Sensitivity level is not set to ‘0’. Accessory not working or not compatible. Refer to “Hands-Free Use/VOX” section on page 17. Recharge or replace Li-Ion battery. Replace AA batteries. Low batteries Extreme operating temperatures affect battery life. Refer to “About the Li-Ion Battery” on page 16.
TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom Try This... Check drop-in tray charger is properly connected and correspond to a compatible power supply. Battery does not charge although it has been placed in the drop-in charger for a while Ensure that you have the drop-in tray charger adjustable piece placed on the right position. Refer to “Charging with the Drop-In Tray Single Unit Charger” section on page 25 and “Charging a Standalone Battery” section on page 26.
