68007024074 English RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information, and Operational Instructions for FCC Occupational Use Requirements NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions, where users have full knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet FCC limits. This radio device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer, or any other use. This 2-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are not limited to, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which when used improperly, can cause biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material. Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with organizations to develop standards for safe exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both workers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins of protection. All Motorola 2-way radios are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet government-established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific operating instructions to users of 2-way radios. These instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it. English 2 Please refer to the following Web sites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits. http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html Federal Communication Commission Regulations The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for mobile 2-way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. When 2-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use of a label directing users to specific user awareness information. Your Motorola 2-way radio has a RF exposure product label. Also, your Motorola user manual, or separate safety booklet, includes information and operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements. Compliance with RF Exposure Standard Your Motorola two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and international standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This Radio complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP RF exposure limits. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines, your radio antenna radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting
(during talking/receiving),not when it is in standby mode. 3 English Your Motorola two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:
United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part J

R E P E A T E R O V E R V E W I 5 Repeater General Applications The repeaters are ideal as a range extender, that can help reach other users in areas that are normally not covered by a 2-way radios range. They are also very useful to help resolve the common problem of the dead spots that are created when there are terrain obstructions (like hills or trees), concrete building structures or architectural designs that interfere with the radio signal(1). The repeaters are designed to satisfy both 810 Mil spec as well IP55 (*) level water and dust ingress protection. This rugged device can stand harsh environments(2) making it ideal for outdoors operations. Its light weight and various back-up power options (like alkaline/Li-Ion Batteries Frames and Vehicle Adaptor) make this repeater a perfect portable solution for temporary outdoor applications. The repeaters operate in the UHF 450 470 MHz band providing 16 channels(3) with different pre-
programmed settings. This particular feature allows easy and quick in field repeater deployment whenever there is need to setup more than one repeater for different users groups. Fully and easily programmable, the repeaters give the flexibility to customize frequencies, codes and other features according to specific needs(4). A key advantage for the repeaters is that the radios have been designed to be compatible with the UHF RDX 2-way, repeater capable radios. Enjoy the convenience of picking up RDX accessories (high capacity batteries, chargers and programming cables) and re-use them with your repeaters. This clever inter operability feature will allow you also to get the most out of your complete radios and repeater system solution by offering cloning and programming among radios and repeaters.

Figure 2a. Repeater Application Example Indoors
(1) The repeaters work best when located in an ideal place that can have good reception for re-transmitting the signal without any problems. Refer to "Pre-Installation Considerations on page 10 for more information.
(2) The repeaters are not submersible devices (Refer to "Appendix A: Repeater Specifications on page 61 for more information) and it is NOT an FM (Factory Mutual) certified device.
(3) Out of the 16 pre-programmed channels that are available out of the box, you can select only ONE channel each time you TX/
RX with the repeater. The repeaters are NOT multi-channel repeaters.
(4) The repeaters CPS software is required. Refer to "Programming The Repeater on page 38 for more information. Figure 2b. Repeater Application Example Outdoors 7 R E P E A T E R O V E R V E W I How the Repeater Works The repeater allows 2-way radios, base stations or call boxes to communicate through the repeater in order to extend the coverage range and/or overcome dead communication spots. T X in an X frequency RX in the Y frequency Repeater RX the X frequency from Paul and re-TX it to Tom using Y frequency Paul Tom Figure 3a. How the Repeater Works (TX) R X in an Y frequency TX in the X frequency Repeater RX the X frequency from Tom and re-TX it to Paul using Y frequency Paul Tom Figure 3b. How the Repeater Works (RX) In the Figure 3a, the repeater will get the signal X that Paul transmits from his radio and will convert it into a Y frequency that will re-transmit to Tom. In Figure 3b, when Tom answers back to Paul, his radio will also use the X frequency to transmit. The repeater will do the same frequency conversion (X to Y) and will re-transmit it to Paul using frequency Y. Not only Paul and Tom will be able to communicate using X and Y frequencies, but so will all other 2-way, repeater capable radios that may be in the area* working on those same frequencies settings. Note:
The repeater needs to re-transmit in a different frequency from what it received in order to avoid interferences. The following are estimations of the repeaters talk coverage range with the repeater located indoors. Refer to Table 3 "Repeater Alkaline Frame Power LED (Side) " on page 31 and "Figure 4. Estimated Outdoors Coverage Range on page 9 for more information.

Figure 4. Estimated Outdoors Coverage Range As seen in Figure 4, the maximum antenna height for low power fixed stations is limited to 23 meters (75 feet) above ground. For stations operating at fixed locations for temporary periods, the antenna height is limited to 7 meters (20 feet) above ground. Note:
Proper programming of the repeater (Refer to "Programming The Repeater on page 38 section for more information) and optimal repeater antenna location are the most important factors that will determine the coverage and quality of your repeater communications. It is highly recommended to refer to "Pre-Installation Considerations on page 10 before proceeding to install the repeater. Make sure your 2-way radios are repeater capable (able to manage separate TX and RX frequencies for the same channel). Refer to "Programming The Repeater on page 38 for more information. 9 R E P E A T E R O V E R V E W I I N O T A L L A T S N I

RF Coverage Field Test The following instructions* are quick and easy tips to test the RF coverage area and decide the best position for the Repeater Antenna (either with the antenna directly installed into the repeater device or using the antenna/magnetic mount/ RF cable accessory kit (P/N HKKN4022). This field coverage test will need to be performed by at least two people, each one with a fully charged 2-way radio. Before the test, make sure the radios are programmed exactly on the same parameters (frequencies, codes, bandwidth, etc.) and are operating in talk around mode. Note:
(*) These instructions are not intended to replace a professional RF field test. Note:
You must read the entire pre-installation chapter in order to assure proper repeater operation. 10 Installation Guide P R E I C O N S D E R A T O N S I
I N S T A L L A T O N I Choosing a Tentative Location Prior to the RF coverage field test, you must first decide which would be the tentative locations for the repeater. You should have different options that will be evaluated according to the following aspects:
Location should be as centered as possible to the area that is being intended for coverage so the signal strength is at the same level as possible for all points. If the repeater is to be located inside a building, for example, try to look for a height vertically centered location as well. Location should meet minimum environmental requirements. (Please refer to 'Environmental Conditions at Intended Installation Site(*)' on page 14 for more information). If you are planning to use the repeater to cover a large area with different buildings, it is strongly recommended that you use the antenna/magnetic mount and RF Cable Accessory Kit to install the repeater antenna in a high point that allows as much as possible line of sight (**) to most of the area to be covered. Bear in mind that most of the times, increasing the repeaters antenna height will improve the coverage, but is not necessarily always the case. If you are planning to have an indoors installation for the repeater, double check that the environmental and electrical installation requirements described in the following sections are feasible. Note:
(**) Means sight from the repeater free of obstructions at the naked eye. 11 Installation Guide I N O T A L L A T S N I
E R P I S N O T A R E D S N O C I Conducting the RF Coverage Field Test The objective of the field test is to simulate the transmission quality and coverage that the repeater may have based upon a chosen location. This type of testing and planning becomes very useful as it can save you extra work and money as a poor location and/or adverse environmental conditions can affect the repeaters performance. To do so, one person should remain in the tentative repeater location and the second person should start walking around the area intended to be covered, while transmitting with the radio. If the quality communication between the two way radios is good, this will mean that the repeater transmissions should be OK. Figure 5: Conducting the RF Coverage Field Test The test can be conducted by more than two people, as long as the first one remains fixed on the repeater location under evaluation. Note:
If youre planning to have an external antenna installation, you should try to mimic, as much as possible, the antenna positioning to replicate the antennas height. 12 Installation Guide During this RF test coverage, one of the key field conditions to test are those spots that will be the most likely to be used for most of the people
(indoors and/or outdoors) and those that may appear particularly challenging due to concrete/
steel walls, building architecture, obstructions (like trees or vertical fire panels in ceilings or walls) and terrain shape. Make sure you walk around all those places in order to test reception and transmission signal strength. Conduct the test transmitting preferably on those settings that you will plan to have your radios and repeater programmed(*). If possible, repeat the test using different frequencies and codes. Note:
(*) Remember TX range for the repeater is 450 455 MHz and RX range is 465 470 MHz. If the reception coverage is below expectations, try changing the height of the antenna or the repeater location (do one change at a time so you can track what is really affecting the coverage) and repeat the field test coverage. MULTIPLE REPEATERS IN A SINGLE LOCATION (MULTIPLE USER GROUPS) As the repeaters have 16 different programmable channels to choose from for setting up the TX/RX frequency pairs, it is possible to configure multiple repeaters in the same location or around the same area.

E R P I S N O T A R E D S N O C I Whenever you need to expand the 2-way radios coverage in the same area but for different users groups, you can use multiple repeaters located at the same site. For ensuring that the different groups will not be interfering with each other and that each one will have their private communications, each repeater and the radios set must have different channel settings (please refer to 'Antenna Installation Instructions' on page 20 and 'Programming The Repeater' on page 38 for more information). Additionally, for this case, make sure the channel TX/RX frequency separations between the different repeaters is at least 1 MHz. Note:
For other requirements (environmental, electrical and mechanical), make sure you read sections ahead, especially information related to equipment ventilation. Environmental Conditions at Intended Installation Site(*) A key factor for repeater performance is to accurately evaluate the site environment where the repeater will be installed. Plan the installation, paying particular attention to environmental conditions at the site like temperature, humidity, dust and ventilation. The repeater may be installed in any indoors location suitable for electronic communications equipment or outdoors temporary/semi-permanent installations, provided that the environmental conditions do not exceed the equipment specifications for temperature, humidity, and air quality according to Mil 810 and IP55 ruggedness specifications (For specification details, please refer to 'Appendix A: Repeater Specifications' on page 61). 14 Installation Guide P R E I C O N S D E R A T O N S I
I N S T A L L A T O N I Ventilation Also important is to make sure that there is adequate ventilation i.e. cabinets with ventilation slots (for air circulation), especially if multiple equipments are installed in the same room. In which case, a minimum distance of open space between the devices is recommended. Note:
(*) Please refer to 'Appendix A: Repeater Specifications' on page 61 for specification details. Temperature Ranges This is the temperature measured in close proximity to the repeater. For example, if the repeater is mounted in a cabinet, the temperature that is measured is within the cabinet. This temperature threshold applies both for outdoors and indoors repeater operation. Operating Temperature Range
-30C (-22F) to +60C (+140F) Storage Temperature Range
-40C (-40F) to +85C (+185F) Humidity & Water(*) Do not to exceed 95% relative humidity (RH) @
(-30C (-22F) to +60C (+140F)). Note:
The Repeaters are IP55 water resistant devices, able to withstand water exposure for certain periods of time. Bear in mind that the repeaters are NOT submersible. 15 Installation Guide I N O T A L L A T S N I
E R P I S N O T A R E D S N O C I ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AC/DC Power Requirements The repeater comes equipped with a AC/DC power supply, that operates from 110 Vac to 240 Vac at 50 Hz to 60 Hz. The outlet must be connected to an AC source capable of supplying a maximum of 280 W. For a nominal 110/120 Vac input, the AC source must be able to supply 5 A and should be protected by circuit breaker rated at 15 A. For a nominal 220/
240 Vac input, the AC source must be able to supply 3 A and should be protected by a circuit breaker rated at 10 A. The DC power requirement is 12 V (+/- 10%). Note:
The AC socket must be installed near the equipment and must be easily accessible. Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment ratings should be used when addressing this concern. Site Grounding and Lightning Protection
C a u t i o n Proper site grounding and lightning protection are vitally important consideration, Failure to provide proper lighting protection may result in permanent damage to the repeater equipment. Please refer to
'Appendix B: Repeater Lightning Protection' on page 69 for basic instruction. One of the most important considerations when designing a communications site is the ground and lightning protection system. Make sure installations meet all local and state building codes in you area. Electrical Ground Ground wires carrying electrical current from circuitry or equipment at the site is included in the category of electrical ground. Examples include the AC or DC electrical power used to source equipment located at the site, and wires or cables connected to alarms or sensors located at the site. 16 Installation Guide P R E I C O N S D E R A T O N S I
I N S T A L L A T O N I RF Ground This type of ground is related to the transmission of the radio frequency energy to earth ground. An example of RF grounding is the use of shielding to prevent or at least minimize the leakage of unwanted RF transmissions from communications equipment and cables. Lightning Ground Providing adequate lightning protection is critical to a safe reliable communications site. RF transmission cables, and AC and DC power lines must all be protected to prevent lightning energy from entering the site building. Although a comprehensive coverage of the site grounding technique and lightning protection is not within the scope of this instruction manual, there are several excellent industry sources for rules and guidelines on ground and lightning protection at communications site.

Repeater Positioning and Orientation Once you have decided the repeaters location, make sure you place it either on a flat and stable surface (outdoors or indoors), lying horizontal as shown in Figure 7a. Repeater Orientation on a Flat Surface on page 18 and Figure 7b. Repeater Orientation Outdoors on page 18 or mount it on a flat wall/ceiling surface. I R E T A E P E R N O T A L L A T S N I Figure 7a. Repeater Orientation on a Flat Surface Figure 7b. Repeater Orientation Outdoors The actual orientation of the repeater device itself shouldnt have any impact on the repeaters performance (given a non-obstructed antenna). However, when using the dipole antenna (P/N HKAE4000), make sure the antenna and power supply are in a straight line (2 to 3 feet minimum) as shown in Figure 8a. Repeater Cable Layout Using Dipole Antenna P/N HKAE4000 on page 19. When using an external antenna
(Antenna/Magnetic Mount Kit P/N HKKN4022), make sure there is a minimum of 2 to 3 feet distance for both the power cable and RF cable to 18 Installation Guide run straight from the repeater in order to assure that performance is not deteriorated as shown in Figure 8b. Repeater Cable Layout Using External Antenna P/N HKKN4022 on page 19. Note:
Double check that the Antennas cable doesnt tangle either around the repeater device or the power supply. The power supply cord also shouldnt tangle around the repeater device or antenna. When positioning the repeater, make sure the repeater antenna is placed away from obstructions, metal structures or any objects or enclosures (like elevators) that can cause any type of shielding.

(please refer to Pre-Installation Considerations on page 10) you decide that you will place the repeater antenna somewhere else (outdoors or indoors) away from the repeater device, you should then use the Antenna/Magnetic Mount and RF Cable accessory P/N HKKN4022. Note:
Always use Motorola approved accessories in order to assure performance and safety. Please refer to Accessories on page 59 for details. Magnetic Mount Kit Installation Ideally the external antenna magnetic mount should be mounted on a metal surface or other area with similar material that allows the mount magnet to stick securely. When installing the exterior antenna into the magnetic mount, make sure the antenna is always in a vertical orientation (either straight up or straight down, 90 to ground). Avoid side or skewed antenna orientations as these positions can affect repeater performance
(See examples in Figure 11a. Examples of Correct Exterior Magnetic Mount Antenna Orientation on page 23 and Figure 11b. Examples of Incorrect Exterior Magnetic Mount Antenna Orientation on page 23). Make sure the exterior antenna magnetic mount is installed and positioned away from obstructions like metal structures, concrete walls or any other objects that may cause signal shielding. 22 Installation Guide 90 Ground Figure 11a.

Examples of Incorrect Exterior Magnetic Mount Antenna Orientation 23 Installation Guide I N S T A L L A T O N R E P E A T E R I I R E T A E P E R N O T A L L A T S N I RF Cable Installation Note:
The RF cable is 12 feet long. Keep this in mind when locating the repeater. In order to attach the RF Cable to the Repeater
(please refer to Figure 12. Connecting RF Cable to Repeater on page 24), simply:
1. Align the end of the RF Cable antenna bushing with the repeaters RF antenna connector. 2. Turn the RF Cable bushing clockwise to fasten it. When installing the RF cable make sure that:
The RF Cable is taut. The RF Cable doesnt go around the magnetic mount antenna, antenna, the repeater device or the power supply cable as all these can cause electromagnetic interference (please refer to Figure 11a. Examples of Correct Exterior Magnetic Mount Antenna Orientation on page 23 and Figure 11b. Examples of Incorrect Exterior Magnetic Mount Antenna Orientation on page 23 for examples of wrong positioning). If the cable is routed through a ceiling or wall that connects outdoors, make sure there is an appropriate sealing around the cable to prevent water or other material from coming permanently into the repeater. Figure 12. Connecting RF Cable to Repeater Important Do not attempt to modify the RF cable from its original design in any way. 24 Installation Guide Installing Exterior Antenna In order to install the exterior antenna into the magnetic mount, simply:
1. Align the threaded end of the antenna with the magnetic mounts mini UHF connector as shown on Figure 13. Attaching Exterior Antenna into Magnetic Mount on page 25. 2. Turn the antenna clockwise to fasten it. Uninstalling Exterior Antenna 1. Turn counterclockwise in order to remove antenna from magnetic mount.
C a u t i o n It is important that all antenna cables are grounded at the point they enter the building. Wall Mount Installation Instructions The wall mount is recommended for permanent or semi-permanent indoors repeater installation. Figure 13. Attaching Exterior Antenna into Magnetic Mount Figure 14a. Wall Mount Holster 25 Installation Guide I N S T A L L A T O N R E P E A T E R I I R E T A E P E R N O T A L L A T S N I To install the wall mount:
1. The wall mount holster is designed to be capable of mounting to a wall or any other similar flat surface via screws, straps or single bolt. (If you choose to use screws, make sure you secure them tightly on each one of the wall mount corners). Important Remember not to install the repeater on or near conductive or shielding surfaces. 2. Once the wall mount is firmly secured to a surface, slide the repeater device from top to bottom of the holster (Figure 14b. Installing the Wall Mount Holster on page 26) until the repeater clicks in place into the wall mount rails. 3. Proceed to connect antenna and power supply cables. Figure 14b. Installing the Wall Mount Holster 26 Installation Guide AC/DC Power Supply Connection Each repeater ships standard with an AC/DC Power supply cord (P/N PMPN4002A)(9 feet long) that connects the repeater to a (110/120)/
(220/240) Vac source. To connect AC/DC power supply:
1. Plug the AC/DC power supply into an AC power source of 110/220 V or a 12 V DC power and route it to the Repeater Jack labeled AC/DC IN. Nominal Input: (110/120)/(220/240) Vac at 60/50 Hz. Average output voltage: 12 Vdc with 2.5 Amp (at maximum load). Note:
Important When operating the power supply, make sure that the maximum input current never exceeds 0.8 Amp at 100 Vac and ambient temperature is between -30C to 60C. Provide over voltage/current protection in order to avoid unsafe operating conditions. The cable from the power supply should be routed in a straight line and should not tangle, go around or wrap around the repeater device, the antenna or the RF Cable. See Figure 8a. Repeater Cable Layout Using Dipole Antenna P/N HKAE4000 on page 19 (Notice in this picture that the cable must be laid down straight for at least 2 feet). 27 Installation Guide I N S T A L L A T O N R E P E A T E R I I R E T A E P E R N O T A L L A T S N I Outdoor Installations Considerations The RPX repeaters are suitable for temporary outdoors operations under environmental conditions that meet the Mil Specifications 810 and IP55 (designed to meet level of water ingress and dust protection). For details, please refer to Appendix A: Repeater Specifications on page 61. Outdoors Repeater Temporary Installation Example The repeater outdoors installation example in Figure 15a. Outdoors Temporary Repeater Installation Example on page 28 shows the magnetic mount and RF cable installed on top of the cars roof in order to secure the antenna against wind and allow repeater to be placed inside the car. This is a convenient configuration as the repeater can be protected against harsh weather as well as re-charged directly from the car battery * using vehicle adaptor P/N HKPN4003, without interrupting or reducing the repeater power output. Note:
The ideal repeater outdoors usage features the repeater working on back-up batteries.
(The power supply is not designed for outdoor use). Figure 15a.

Important Do not store alkaline batteries in a non-
operating equipment for longer than 30 days. Alkaline Batteries Frame Solution The repeaters standard package comes equipped with an Alkaline Battery Frame Solution, (Figure 16a. Alkaline Battery Frame on page 30 alkaline batteries are not included). When the repeater is using the Alkaline batteries as the backup power in the event of an AC/DC power absence or failure and there is an AC/DC power failure or absence, the repeater automatically switches to back-up mode from the alkaline batteries. Figure 16a. Alkaline Battery Frame Alkaline Battery Life Estimation When the repeater is working on back-up alkaline batteries, the estimated battery life time (assumed fully charged) is 16 hours for both 2 W and 4 W models. Whenever the 4 W repeater is switched to work on battery back-up, the system will only transmit at 2 W. Important The 4 W repeater will automatically switch to 2 W output power whenever it detects that there is no AC/DC input. It will then operate on back-up battery. 30 Installation Guide Y R E T T A B E N L A K L A I E M A R F Installing/Removing the Alkaline Battery Frame 1. Turn OFF the repeater if it is turned ON. 2. 3. Disconnect AC/DC Power.

However, in order to configure the radios to communicate with the repeater, there are basic tips that you should take into account:
43 User Guide R A D O S I P R O G R A M M N G Y O U R I Make sure the channels in both the RDX radios and the repeaters that you want to use with the repeater capability are actually enabled in the CPS with a check box looking as follows:
Figure 19. Enabling Repeater capability settings 44 User Guide I R U O Y G N M M A R G O R P I S O D A R Take into account that when matching channel frequencies between the repeater and the radios, you must also need to make sure all other channel parameters (i.e. codes, bandwidth and reverse burst) are at the same correspondent values in order for the radios-repeater communications to take place properly. Make sure the TX frequency and PL Code in Note:
the radio channel that has been chosen for repeater, is the same as the RX frequency in the repeaters. Same for the RX frequency in your RDX radio: make sure it matches the TX frequency and PL code in the repeaters channel. The repeaters have 16 channels available, each one with two TX/RX frequency pairs. You can either use the repeater default programmed frequencies and customize the RDX channels to match the repeaters or you can customize the repeater frequencies to different frequencies pairs to match frequency in the RDX radios. 45 User Guide R A D O S I P R O G R A M M N G Y O U R I I G N N O L C R E T A E P E R REPEATER CLONING RDX RADIO TO REPEATER CLONING To repeater programming connector To RDX radio charger mini-port R2R Cloning Cable Figure 20. Cloning from an RDX radio into the Repeater 46 User Guide R E P E A T E R C L O N N G I OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Below are instructions on how to clone your RDX 2 W / 4 W radio into one of the repeaters. Note:
It is NOT possible to clone the repeaters into the RDX radio. The only parameters that can be cloned into the Repeater are:
channel frequency, code, bandwidth, power, reverse burst, scan list the number of channels. Before you start the cloning process, make sure you have the following components:
Fully charged batteries on both the RDX radio and one of the repeaters One Single Unit Chargers (SUC) for the RDX Radio (either P/N RLN6304 or RLN6175) An RDX Radio to Radio (R2R) Cloning Cable P/N RLN6303 An RDX Radio, repeater capable CLONING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Turn OFF both the radio and the repeater. 2. 3. Note:
Unplug any cables (power supply or USB cables) from the Single Unit Charger. Plug one side of the cloning cable mini connector to the Single Unit Charger. Plug the other end to the Repeater programming port connector. During the cloning process, no power is being applied to the Single Unit Charger. The batteries will not be charged. A data communication is being established between the repeater and the radio. 4. 5. Turn ON the repeater. Power up the RDX 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. 47 User Guide I G N N O L C R E T A E P E R Note:
After cloning is completed, the RDX 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 RDX radio is a display model, it will either show Pass or Fail on the display (a tone will be heard within 5 seconds). 6. 7. Once you have completed the cloning process, turn the RDX radio OFF and ON to exit clone mode. Turn the repeater OFF and ON to exit clone mode. Important
- If the RDX channels contains frequencies that are not within the repeater TX or RX frequency range, the repeater will not work on these channels. In the RDX radio, make sure that in each one of the TX/
RX frequency pairs, the bandwidth setting has exactly the same value. For example, if in Channel 7 the TX bandwidth separation is 12.5 KHz, then the corresponding RX bandwidth separation in this same channel 7 should be also 12.5 KHz. 48 User Guide R E P E A T E R C L O N N G I WHAT TO DO IF CLONING FAILS 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 tests before trying to start the cloning process again:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Ensure that the batteries on both radio and repeater are fully charged. Check the cloning cable connection on both ends. Ensure that the battery is engaged properly on to the RDX radio. Ensure that the RDX radio is in cloning mode. Ensure that the repeater is turned ON. 49 User Guide TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom Try This...
