OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS

Antennas

Do not use any portable radio that has a
damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna
comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn
can result.

Batteries

All batteries can cause property damage and/
or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive
material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded
chains touch exposed terminals. The
conductive material may complete an electrical
circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot.
Exercise care in handling any charged battery,
particularly when placing it inside a pocket,
purse, or other container with metal objects.

BATTERY INFORMATION

Charging Batteries

C a u t i o n This product is powered by a nickel-metal-
hydride (NiMH), or lithium-ion rechargeable
battery. Charge the battery before use to
ensure optimum capacity and performance.
The battery was designed specifically to be
used with a Motorola charger. Charging in non-
Motorola equipment may lead to battery
damage and void the battery warranty.
Note: When charging a battery attached to a
radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full
charge.
The battery should be at about 77°F (25°C)
(room temperature), whenever possible.
Charging a cold battery (below 50° F [10°C])
may result in leakage of electrolyte and
ultimately in failure of the battery. Charging a
hot battery (above 95°F [35°C]) results in
reduced discharge capacity, affecting the
performance of the radio. Motorola rapid-rate
battery chargers contain a temperature-
sensing circuit to ensure that batteries are
charged within the temperature limits stated
above.
