BATTERY INFORMATION
Battery Care and Tips
This product is powered by a rechargeable
battery.
The following battery tips will help you obtain
the highest performance and longest cycle life
from your Motorola rechargeable battery.
¥ Batteries are shipped uncharged from
the factory. Always charge a new
battery 14 - 16 hours before initial use,
regardless of the status indicated by
the charger.
¥ Charging in non-Motorola equipment
may lead to battery damage and void
the battery warranty.
¥ When charging a battery that is
attached to the radio, turn the radio off
to ensure a full charge.
¥ The battery should be at about 77¡F
(25¡C) (room temperature) whenever
possible. Charging a cold battery,
(below 50¡F [10¡C]) may result in
leakage of electrolyte and ultimately, in
failure of the battery.
¥ Charging a hot battery (above 95¡F
[35¡C]) results in reduced discharge
capacity, affecting the performance of
the radio. Motorola rapid-rate battery
chargers contain a temperature-
sensing circuit to ensure that the
battery is charged within these
temperature limits.
¥ New batteries can be stored up to two
years without signiÞcant cycle loss.
Store new/unused batteries in a cool
dry area.
¥ Batteries which have been in storage
should be charged overnight.
¥ Do not return fully charged batteries to
the charger for an Òextra boostÓ. This
action will significantly reduce cycle
life.
¥ Do not leave your radio and battery in
the charger when not charging.
Continuous charging will shorten
battery life. (Do not use your charger
