Motorola Radio Serial Number Decoder Access the latest and greatest features and functionality available with each software release for added capabilities, security, and reliability. This increases the value of your investment with every update. Confirm that the coaxial cable from your cable wall outlet is plugged directly into the Cable input on your device, which is usually located on the back of the device. Write down the CableCARD serial number that is printed on the CableCARD label. Motorola serial numbers begin with MA or MT, and Cisco serial numbers begin with PK. The XPR 6000 is a digital workhorse with proven performance for demanding users. Featuring superior audio with optional Bluetooth, integrated GPS, text messaging and expert applications customized to your business, the XPR 6000 is a radio you can trust to keep your work teams connected. The serial number convention follows the following general format: 123ABC4567 Where 123 is an unique three digit code for each model series, where BC determines manufacture year and month respectively, and where 4567 is a unique four digit serial number for the device in question. My model number chart says 9DP6 is a Passport & LTR radio capable of 160 LTR frequencies. Some of the older (pre-2004) were limited to 16 conventional channels. Anything newer than that should be 160 conventional channels. There's a serial number decoder on batlabs.com that will tell you when the radio was made. Sorry about the type acceptance.

Older Motorola phones have removable batteries, and some list the model number on a label located under the battery. To access it, turn off your phone, remove the back cover, then remove the battery. If there is no model number but you see an ESN or IMEI, you can copy it and contact Motorola directly to find out which model phone it corresponds to.

< How to use a Motorola DVR
Identifying which model Motorola DVR you have[edit]
There are 3 known versions of the DCT64xx, named Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III.
- Phase I is identified by the model number DCT-6412/2000 on a label on the bottom of the unit.
- Phase II is identified by the model number DCT-6412/2005, and has the Comcast logo.
- Both Phase I and Phase II have only a single RF input connector on the back. There is no RF output connector.
- Phase III is identified by:
- The 6412 III logo on the front of the unit.
- An HDMI port on the back of the unit instead of the DVI port on older versions.
- A SATA port on the back of the unit.
- (optional) An RF output jack on the back of the unit.
Little is known about the differences between the Phase I and Phase II.
Beyond the external differences, the Phase III has better analog picture quality and the 12.xx firmware revision (the older models use 9.xx). As of September 2006, the firmware for DCT-34xx and DCT-64xx Phase I, II & III boxes has converged on 16.xx version numbers.

The Motorola 34xx is similar to the Phase III 64xx, but has no analog tuner and can only be used on cable systems where analog-digital simulcasting (ADS) is set up.
The 34xx is about the same width and height as the 64xx, but is not as deep (about 11 inches, versus 13 inches on the 64xx). On the front it has no SmartCard slot, no A/V input, and no USB port (there is still one USB port on the back). On the back, there are no A/V inputs and no metal cover where the RF connectors are.
The DCT3080 is similar to the DCT3412, but has no HD output circuitry. It can record HD, but will only play it back in SD. On the back, it does not have component, FireWire or HDMI ports.
The QIP6416 has A/V inputs on the front, but no SmartCard slot (it has been moved to the back). On the back, there is no SATA port. The QIP6416 has no analog tuner, but includes an IP tuner that uses frequencies from 1.125GHz to 1.425GHz, making it a 'hybrid' digital cable box.
The DCT6208 is the same size and generally looks similar to the 6412. It is identified by the model number DCT-6208/2005 on a label on the bottom of the unit.
The DCH3416 has a very different look than the DCT series. It has a large clear/black center, with many of the buttons along the bottom. On the back, it has an M-Card slot for a card that contains encryption security codes.
The DCH6416 is similar to the DCH3416, but also has an analog tuner.

The QIP 7216 is nearly identical to the 6416 except for a M-Card slot on the back, the removal of the composite inputs on the front, and different vent screen pattern, on the top. The QIP 7216 has more RAM, offers MPEG-4 and Dolby Digital 7.1 support.
