General
What is the Motorola Mag One BPR50dX?
The Mag One BPR50dX is a digital two-way radio built for business teams that need reliable, all-day communication. It replaces the Mag One BPR40d and brings a number of meaningful upgrades—including USB-C charging, a louder 3-watt audio output, and a dedicated Emergency Button.
Whether you're coordinating a construction crew, managing a retail floor, or overseeing campus security, the BPR50dX is designed to keep your team connected without missing a beat.
What frequencies does the BPR50dX support?
The BPR50dX is available in two frequency bands:
- UHF: 400–470 MHz (ideal for indoor environments and buildings with walls or obstacles) ** this is the model you are currently viewing
- VHF: 136–174 MHz (recommended for outdoor use in open areas)
What modes of operation does the BPR50dX support?
The BPR50dX supports both analog and digital (DMR) modes of operation.
Digital mode delivers clearer audio, extended range, and access to advanced features. This flexibility also makes it easy to transition your existing fleet gradually from analog to digital—without replacing all your radios at once.
What is the warranty on the BPR50dX?
The BPR50dX includes a 2-year limited warranty.
Battery & Charging
How long does the battery last?
The BPR50dX delivers up to 23 hours of talk time in digital mode and 16 hours in analog mode, based on a typical 5/5/90 usage profile at maximum transmitter power.
That's more than enough to cover a full shift—and then some.
What type of battery does the BPR50dX use?
The radio uses a 2,200mAh Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery (Part #: PMNN4847).
Note that BPR40 and BPR40d batteries are not compatible with the BPR50dX—this model requires its own battery.
How does USB-C charging work?
The BPR50dX features a built-in USB-C port, allowing you to charge the radio with any standard USB-C cable and charger.
It's a convenient on-the-go option—perfect for keeping your radio topped up between shifts.
Keep in mind that USB-C charging takes approximately 30% longer than using the desktop single-unit charger (SUC). For the fastest charge, use the authorized Motorola desktop charger.
Will the radio overcharge if left in the charger?
No. The BPR50dX uses built-in charging algorithms and protective circuitry that automatically cut off the charge when the battery is full. You can safely leave it in the charger overnight.
How should I store the battery when not in use?
Store batteries in a well-ventilated environment at a temperature between 68°F–86°F (20°C–30°C) and humidity between 30%–60%. Charge the battery to greater than 50% before storage, and recharge to that level at least every 12 months. Do not store batteries while attached to the radio.
Key Features
How many channels and zones does the BPR50dX support?
The BPR50dX supports 64 channels across 4 zones (up to 16 channels per zone). This gives large teams plenty of room to organize communication by department, location, or task—without stepping on each other's transmissions.
What audio features does the BPR50dX offer?
The BPR50dX is the loudest radio in the Mag One family, with a maximum audio output of 3 watts.
It also features built-in noise cancellation—both transmit and receive—so your messages come through clearly even in noisy environments like warehouses, construction sites, or busy retail floors.
For the best audio experience, enable Enhanced Audio Power, RX Noise Cancellation, and TX Noise Cancellation through the Customer Programming Software (CPS).
What safety features are included?
The BPR50dX is equipped with three key safety features:
- Emergency Button: A dedicated button on top of the radio that can send an emergency alert at any time, even mid-transmission
- Lone Worker: Automatically triggers an emergency alarm if no user activity is detected for a predefined period—critical for staff working alone in isolated areas
- Remote Monitor: Allows a supervisor to remotely activate the microphone of a target radio to monitor surrounding audio These features are supported in digital mode only.
How durable is the BPR50dX?
Built to handle the demands of real-world work environments, the BPR50dX carries an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, and meets MIL-STD 810 military standards (versions C through H).
It can handle temperature extremes, humidity, vibration, shock, blowing dust, and salt fog—making it a reliable choice for industries where gear takes a beating.
Compatibility & Accessories
Will the BPR50dX work with my existing BPR40 or BPR40d radios?
Yes. The BPR50dX is backward compatible with existing BPR40 and BPR40d fleets in analog mode. This means you can introduce the BPR50dX to your team without replacing every radio at once—a practical upgrade path for budget-conscious operations.
