XTS5000 Battery icon (IMPRES)

[Rayjk110]

I'm using an Impres battery NNTN4436 D/C of 436 on one of my XTS5000's.

When I turn off my 5k, the battery gauge is still on the display - yes, even after I turn the radio off. The only way to get it off is to take the battery off.


Ideas/Suggestions? I thought I read about this somewhere before but didn't see anything in search results.


Edit: I should add that this only happens sometimes; not always.

Send it off to Motorola........you have a problem......

In fact, you could probably walk it over from where you are at....

I had the same problem along with some other querky issues...

The battery icon would remain after turning of the radio, when changing modes or secure rx/tx the channel line would disappear, the radio would randomly restart, etc.

All were fixed when the firmware in both the radio and the secure module were updated to the latest. I attributed it to a mismatch in the secure firmware and that of the radio.

Firmware does sound like a good place to start.......

Also, what's the flash........might not want to upgrade the firmware too much......

[Rayjk110]

It's 5800080004824, DSP9.0 Rev9.00 - No UCM in this particular radio.

Tags match the radio - it's legit. I noticed that this only happened when the impres battery had not been charged in a while, and when it was charged in a non-impres charger it did this also. After I put it in the impres, I haven't seen it since....

Also, the "menue" would freeze up - it would act as if you turned keypad lock on. Every button press on the front of the radio would result in a "boop" tone - but this would only last 10 secods or so at a time untill normal operation resumed. This only happened when I was scrolling thru menu items really fast - mebey it locked up the proc.? Not sure...

Everything seems fine now, tho.

Just confirmed that this is happening to another freind of mine's XTS5k that also happens to have a Rev9/DSP9 firmware set.


I'm beginning to think that this is a 9.00.00 bug......

9.00.03 corrects it

[Rayjk110]

Thanks, I was suspecting it was just a buggy FW release.

I'll report the results tomorrow morning when it's up to 9.00.05...... so far that's the latest release - so if it's corrected at x.03 it should be corrected at x.05, which is supposedly the latest.

[txshooter]

9.00.05 is the latest, had one upgraded today.

[Rayjk110]

I just bumped 9.00.05 into my radio this morning - and so far it seems to have corrected the problem. Hasn't shown any of those annoying symptoms as of yet.....

9.00.05 is the latest, had one upgraded today.

09.00.05 seems very stable with very few bugs i can think of. Only bug I have to check for is the talkaround while in scan using the A/B/C switch, where talkaround
is on the C position. I got pissed off, I put talkaround to a softkey, and put PL disable on C for now until I can verify if they fixed it (doubtful).

9.00.03 corrects it

No it doesn't!! I've got the following:

Host: R09.00.03
DSP: R09.00.02
KG1: 05.05.02

I get the same thing. Also, If you push any buttons, you'll get the dummy tone & it will drain your battery if it isn't reset by pulling the battery & reinstall.

I have te following and it still does it:

XTS5000 800MHz M3
R09.00.05
DSP 09.00.02
