Who This Product Is For
The HCLN4013A is a replacement or spare holster intended for users of Motorola CLS Series radios. The CLS line is widely deployed in environments where staff need compact, lightweight on-site communication. Common use cases for the holster include:
- Retail and hospitality: Floor associates, front desk staff, and restaurant teams who alternate between standing, walking, and sitting throughout a shift benefit from the ability to reposition the radio rather than remove it from the belt entirely.
- Healthcare and assisted living: CLS radios are used by nursing staff and facility coordinators in environments where quiet, discreet communication is valued. The holster keeps the radio at the hip without requiring hand-carry.
- Education: School security, custodial staff, and administrators who carry CLS radios throughout a building during the day use holsters to reduce fatigue from hand-carrying.
- Warehousing and light industrial: Staff who frequently crouch, bend, or operate machinery benefit from a holster that can be rotated to a horizontal position, keeping the radio out of the way during physical tasks.
- Event operations: Venue coordinators and event staff who move between seated and standing positions during setup and execution.
This holster is also an appropriate purchase for organizations that have lost or damaged the OEM holster that ships with new CLS radios, or those building out spare accessory kits for high-turnover environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Motorola radios is the HCLN4013A compatible with?
- The HCLN4013A is compatible with the Motorola CLS Series, specifically the CLS1110 and CLS1410. It is not compatible with other Motorola product families such as the CLP, DTR, RDX, or RM series, which use different form factors and require their own carrying accessories.
- What is the difference between the HCLN4013A, HCLN4013B, and HCLN4013C?
- These are sequential revision designations of the same product. The HCLN4013A, HCLN4013B, and HCLN4013C are functionally identical — they share the same design, dimensions, compatible radio models, and fit. Motorola increments the letter suffix when minor manufacturing changes are made, but the three versions work interchangeably. The original HCLN4013 (without a letter suffix) and the legacy part number 56532 also refer to this same holster.
- Does the swivel clip allow full 360-degree rotation?
- Yes. The swivel mechanism allows the holster and radio to rotate freely on the belt clip, enabling the user to orient the radio vertically (screen facing outward while standing) or horizontally (lying flat along the waistband while sitting or bending). This rotation is continuous — there is no fixed stop point — so the user can adjust the position to any angle throughout the day.
- Is the HCLN4013A the same holster that comes in the box with a new CLS radio?
- Yes. CLS1110 and CLS1410 radios ship with a swivel belt clip holster, and the HCLN4013A is the OEM replacement for that included accessory. Organizations that need spares, or those who have damaged or lost the original holster, can order the HCLN4013A as a direct replacement without requiring any modification to the radio.
- Can the HCLN4013A be used with a radio while it is in a carry case or soft pouch?
- No. The HCLN4013A is a hard plastic holster designed to cradle the radio body directly. It is not designed to attach over or onto a soft carry case. If you need a carry case option for the CLS radio, Motorola offers a separate soft carry case accessory that includes its own belt clip. The holster and soft carry case are distinct accessory types and are not used together.
- Is the HCLN4013A compatible with the Motorola CLP1010e or CLP1080e?
- No. The CLP series has a different form factor from the CLS series. The CLP1010e and CLP1080e require accessories designed specifically for their product line. For CLP-compatible carry options, see the Motorola CLPe accessories page on techwholesale.com.
- How wide of a belt does the HCLN4013A clip fit?
- The belt clip on the HCLN4013A accommodates belts up to 2.5 inches wide. This covers most standard work belts and waistbands used in commercial and hospitality environments.
