NOTICE:
• Before using your radio for the first time, remove the plastic lens protector from the display,
and charge the battery until the LED lights green.
• Battery charging must occur only in non-hazardous areas.
• Clean the connector frequently and before the programming procedure for example, with a
soft brush (do not use fluids).
Storage
• Do not store the battery where the temperatures exceed +65 °C or fall below -20 °C.
• New Lithium-Ion batteries may be stored in ventilated, cool and dry areas with some capacity loss in
the life cycle.
• It is not recommended to store the batteries when they are fully charged or discharged.
Extending Battery Life
A battery is an expendable part and may need replacing during the life of the radio. To ensure
maximum service life of your radio, always replace the battery with a genuine Motorola replacement. In
order to ensure maximum life for your battery:
• Do not charge it unless necessary (low battery indication).
• Charge it until full charge indication is on.
Battery Charging Temperature
Your charger only charges your battery when it is at temperature range of 1 °C to 37 °C. As the
temperature gets colder (close to 0 °C) less capacity is stored in the battery.
If, during charging, the temperature is out of range, the battery might not be fully charged since the
charging is temporarily stopped until the temperature becomes suitable. The temperature range of
battery operation is from 0 °C to +45 °C in charger mode and from -30 °C to +60 °C in discharge mode.
Battery Charging Rules
Generally, to reduce the number of charge cycles as much as you can, wait for the to charge, as it
ensures maximum battery life. Do not use your charger as a radio holder or leave your radio and fully
charged battery connected to the charger while not charging. Continuous charging shortens the battery
life.
Additional Battery Warnings/Cautions
• Battery storage above 60 °C and below -20 °C is not recommended.
• To prevent injury, do not allow metal objects to touch the battery contacts.
• Do not disassemble.
• Do not throw in fire.
