Charge the Battery
The Motorola-approved battery shipped with your radio is uncharged.
Prior to using a new battery, charge it for a minimum of 16 hours to
ensure optimum capacity and performance.
For a list of Motorola-authorized batteries available for use with your
XTS 2500 radio, see “Batteries” on page 54.
Note: When charging a battery attached to a radio, turn the radio off
to ensure a full charge.
Battery Charger
To charge the battery, place the battery, with or without the radio, in a
Motorola-approved charger. The charger’s LED indicates the
charging progress; see your charger’s user guide. For a list of
chargers, see “Chargers” on page 55.
Battery Charge Status
If programmed by a qualified technician, you can check your battery’s
charge status by holding down the preprogrammed Battery Gauge
button. The charge status is shown by the color of the radio’s LED
indicator.
To avoid a possible explosion:
• DO NOT replace the battery in any area
labeled “hazardous atmosphere”.
• DO NOT discard batteries in a fire.
