Motorola service documentation specifically identifies the cable for radio programming, testing, and alignment.

This allows qualified technicians to use the cable as part of supported service procedures involving:

• Radio testing

• Radio alignment

• Radio tuning

• Diagnostics

• Troubleshooting

• Performance verification

• Repair verification

• Preventive maintenance

• Bench servicing

Appropriate Motorola software and additional test equipment may be required depending on the procedure being performed.

USB Connection

The PMKN4013C connects a compatible portable radio to a:

Computer USB Port

This provides the communication interface required for compatible programming and service software.

The direct USB connection makes the cable suitable for both routine fleet programming and professional service applications.

Compatible MOTOTRBO Radios

Documented compatibility includes select Motorola MOTOTRBO portable radios such as:

• Motorola XPR 6100

• Motorola XPR 6300

• Motorola XPR 6350

• Motorola XPR 6380

• Motorola XPR 6500

• Motorola XPR 6550

XPR 7000 Series Service Applications

Motorola service documentation specifically identifies the PMKN4013C for compatible XPR 7000 Series service procedures.

The cable provides the USB connection required for supported:

• Programming

• Testing

• Alignment

This makes the PMKN4013C particularly useful for professional facilities servicing MOTOTRBO XPR portable radios.

Programming Cable vs. Programming/Test Cable

The PMKN4013C should not be confused with the:

PMKN4012B Portable Programming Cable

The primary distinction is:

PMKN4012B = Programming and Data Applications

PMKN4013C = Programming, Testing and Alignment

Customers requiring professional test and alignment functionality should select the appropriate service cable for their radio.

Professional Service Accessory

The PMKN4013C is particularly useful for:

• Motorola radio dealers

• Two-way radio service centers

• Communications technicians

• Fleet administrators

Its combination of programming and technical service functionality makes it useful for both routine configuration and professional radio maintenance.

Important

The PMKN4013C is a professional programming, testing and alignment cable.

It is not a charging cable.

It is not an RF test cable.

Compatible Motorola programming and service software may be required.

Additional test equipment may be required for certain alignment and diagnostic procedures.

The portable radio, computer, software, and additional test equipment are sold separately.

Always verify compatibility with the exact radio model and service procedure before ordering.
