Maintenance
NOTICE:
•
Before using your radio for the first time, charge the battery until the LED lights green.
• Battery charging must occur only in non-hazardous areas.
• Ensure that radio connectors are clean and free of any debris before attaching accessories
or a programming cable. Use a soft brush for cleaning contacts and do not use any
chemicals or fluids in the cleaning process.
D.1
Storage
• 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.
D.2
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 Solutions
replacement.
D.3
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.
D.4
Additional Battery Warnings/Cautions
• To prevent injury, do not allow metal objects to touch the battery contacts.
• Do not disassemble.
• Do not throw in fire.
• Do not dispose of battery in household waste.
NOTICE: When the battery is deeply discharged (for example after left unattended for months
while connected to the radio), it cannot be recovered in all types of chargers. It is best
recovered:
•
In the rear pocket of a Dual Unit Charger.
• In a battery only pocket on a Multi-Unit Charger.
• By charging the radio with the USB cable.
