Battery
Charging 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 5000 radio, see “Batteries” on page 95.
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 96.
Battery Charge Status
If programmed by a qualified radio technician, you can check your
battery’s charge status by holding down the pre-programmed Battery
Gauge button on the radio. Charge status is shown by the color of the
radio’s LED.
To avoid a possible explosion:
• DO NOT replace the battery in any area
labeled “hazardous atmosphere”.
• DO NOT discard batteries in a fire.
