Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which Uniden radios is the RM500 compatible with?

A: The RM500 is compatible with five specific UH series models: UH7740NB, UH7750NB, UH7760NB, UH8060S, and UH5060. It will NOT work with XTRAK series (XTRAK 80, XTRAK 80 PRO, XTRAK50), X76, UH755, UH825, UH800S series (UH810S, UH820S, etc.), UH6160, UH6060, or any other Uniden UHF radios. Always verify your radio model number matches one of the five compatible models before purchasing the RM500.

Q: What does "dual sound" mean and how does it work?

A: "Dual sound" means the RM500's built-in speaker can work in conjunction with the main radio's speaker (if equipped) or operate independently. This provides audio output directly from the microphone positioned near driver for optimal hearing, while main radio speaker (if present) can provide additional volume or coverage for passengers. You can configure which speaker(s) to use based on your preferences and vehicle setup. The dual sound capability ensures clear audio regardless of where main radio unit is mounted.

Q: Can I really control power on/off from the microphone without touching the main radio?

A: Yes! The RM500 includes power on/off control directly from the microphone - a unique feature not available on all remote microphones. You can power the compatible radio on or off using microphone buttons without needing to reach the main unit mounted under dash, in console, or cargo area. This is exceptionally convenient for daily use, particularly when main radio is installed in difficult-to-access locations. This feature, combined with complete function control, means you never need to touch the main radio unit after installation.

Q: Why is multi-radio compatibility valuable for fleet applications?

A: Multi-radio compatibility is extremely valuable for commercial fleets or organizations operating multiple vehicles with compatible UH series radios. Instead of stocking different remote microphones for different radio models, a single RM500 model works across five compatible radios, simplifying parts inventory, reducing costs, and enabling interchangeable spare parts. Technicians only need to learn one microphone model for multiple radio installations. For fleet managers standardizing on compatible UH series models, this significantly reduces accessory management complexity.

Q: Is the green backlight better than other backlight colors?

A: Green backlighting is specifically chosen for excellent night visibility with minimal eye strain and glare. Green light is easier on eyes during night driving compared to bright white or blue backlighting which can cause temporary vision adjustment when looking between illuminated display and dark road. Green provides sufficient illumination to read display clearly without affecting night vision or creating distraction. The green backlight makes the RM500 particularly suitable for professional drivers, emergency services, or anyone doing significant night driving requiring frequent radio operation.
