Setup menu navigation
Pressing the two buttons on the left-hand side of the screen simultaneously will open
the RDX setup menu. Once in the menu, the button on the top left will act as the
selection and confirmation button. The button on the bottom left will take you one
step back out of the currently selected option or menu.
Using the two buttons on the right-hand side, you can scroll through the menu.
Having selected an editable parameter, these buttons will let you either raise or
lower the parameter’s value.

Connecting a radio to the RDX
The Green-GO RDX can be connected to a broad range of two-way radios.
Using the diagrams below, you can create a connector cable for the radio type that
you wish to use. This cable needs to be connected to the D-SUB 9 pin connector
located on the back of the RDX.
The RDX is able to provide precise level matching to practically any two-way radio.
Upon detection of audio on the Green-GO network by the RDX, a Push-To-Talk relay
is activated that takes care of the keying of the radio. A suitable connector cable
(detailed below) - together with the relay contacts - makes sure that the transmitter
will be properly keyed to a radio.
The diagram below shows the D-SUB 9 connections for linking the Green-GO RDX to a
radio base station.

Cable connections
A connector cable is required to connect a (Walkie-Talkie) radio to the RDX. This cable
should consist of single conductor shielded wire and should not be longer than 1.5 m
to prevent signal loss. The radio base station can be linked to the RDX by attaching
molded connectors (obtained from e.g. an external microphone or earphone) to the
connector cable. The following diagram illustrates how the cable should be
connected to the D-SUB 9 pin connector.
After connecting the cable, the microphone type and level need to be set up. The
internal jumpers of the RDX can be configured - according to the three diagrams
pictured below - to accommodate specific microphone types.
Because each type of radio has a different way of keying the transmitter, it can be a
challenge to correctly key the specific radio you will be using. Knowing which type of
external microphone your radio uses helps to verify the correct jumper settings and
connector wiring. The diagrams below show the most commonly used setups.
Relay shunting the microphone
( e.g. Motorola Radius, GP300, SP-50, Sport 7X )
Jumper settings
SW2 off (DC path for microphone)
SW1 on (attenuator)

Relay in series with microphone

General safety instructions
Read all instructions - especially the safety requirements - in the user manual before use.
- Keep these instructions - the safety and operating instructions should be retained for
future reference. - Carefully follow all instructions.
Cleaning
Disconnect all connected supply and signal cables before cleaning the unit. - Clean with a dry cloth. -
Do not use any liquid or spray on the unit.
Usage
Do not use the unit near water or moisture. - Do not block any ventilation openings, they are
necessary for the essential airflow within the unit and protect it against overheating. - Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. – Do not insert any objects through the ventilation
slots of the unit, as these could get in contact with live parts or could cause short circuits. This could
cause electric shock and / or fire. - Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, stoves or
other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. - Unplug this apparatus during lightning
storms or when unused for long periods of time. Do not place the unit on unstable surfaces
Service
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped. In all of the previous conditions, disconnect the main plug
immediately and call your distributor or technical support!
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS
