Handset issue with APX6500

[ccsd157]

Does anyone have any experience using a RLN6080A handset on a APX6500? I cannot seem to figure out how to get the sound to come out of the radio speaker instead of the handset speaker. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Did you search on this website for the below post?

I did see that post, but it does not help me in this case. I know that the handset should switch to the radio speaker when the handset is in the cradle, but it is not switching. I have tried using a magnet to see if maybe the magnet is missing in the cradle, but I still cannot get it to switch from the handset speaker.

I went through one of my available 6500 codeplugs and could find no reference for it
and I also went through all my apx docs and did find that it is option W874AB which
probably includes the part numbers in the above post and I can find no reference for
a handset capability in the 6500 spec sheet.

Thanks for all the assistance, I returned the offending mic and purcgased one thru Motorola that is specific to the 6500.
