Preparing Your Radio for Use

This section provides simple instructions to prepare

your radio for use.

Charging the Battery

Warning

To avoid a possible explosion:

•

Do not replace the battery in any area

labeled hazardous atmosphere.

• Do not discard batteries in a fire.

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 and chargers available

for use with your radio, see Accessories on page

176.

Note

When charging a battery attached to a radio,

turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.

To charge the battery, place the battery (with or

without the radio) in a Motorola-approved charger.

The LED on the charger indicates the charging

progress; see the charger user guide.

Attaching the Battery

You can view the status of the IMPRES

™

battery if the

radio is using an IMPRES battery. See IMPRES

Battery Annunciator on page

167 for more

information.

1 Slide the battery into the radio frame until the latch

which is at the bottom of the radio clicks into

place.
