BATTERY INFORMATION

Charging Your Battery

This radio is powered by a either a nickel-metal

hydride (NiMH), or a lithium-ion (Li-lon)

rechargeable battery. Charge the battery before use

to ensure optimum capacity and performance. The

battery was designed specifically to be used with a

Motorola charger. Charging in non-Motorola

equipment may lead to battery damage and void the

battery warranty.

Note: When charging a battery attached to a radio,

turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.

The battery should be at about 25°C (77°F) (room

temperature), whenever possible. Charging a cold

battery (below 10°C [50°F]) may result in leakage of

electrolyte and ultimately in failure of the battery.

Charging a hot battery (above 35°C [95°F]) results

in reduced discharge capacity, affecting the

performance of the radio. Motorola rapid-rate

battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing

circuit to ensure that batteries are charged within the

temperature limits stated above.

If a battery is new, or its charge level is very low, you

will need to charge it before you can use it. When

the battery level is low and the radio is in transmit

mode you will see the LED indicator flash red. Upon

release of the PTT button, you will hear an alert

tone.

Note: Batteries are shipped uncharged from the

factory. Always charge a new battery 14 to 16

hours before initial use, regardless of the

status indicated by the charger.

GETTING STARTED

Desktop Rapid Charger

To Charge the Battery

a Remove the battery from the charger and use a

pencil eraser to clean the three metal contacts

on the back of the battery. Replace the battery

flash red, consult your dealer.

b A standard battery may require 90 minutes to

charge to 90% capacity.

1 Turn the radio off.

2 Place the battery, with or without the radio, in

the charger pocket.

• The charger LED indicates the charging

progress.
