Hobbyist “akardam” has prepared a most useful and comprehensive guide about using and
configuring the TMS feature. It may be downloaded at the following URL:

A further note about the XTS 5000: To determine host, DSP and UCM firmware versions, band-
split information, model, serial and ESN information, vocon size and FLASHport code, the radio may be
put into service-mode by pressing the “..” key on the side of the radio five times, within the first 10
seconds of powering the radio on. This is applicable to model II and III versions only. Model I versions of
the XTS 5000 must be read with CPS to determine this information.
More information about the Motorola Inc. XTS 5000 portable radio will be published in
upcoming guides. There is still a lot of undocumented information and the radio is a current product
meaning it’s under constant development.
