The Motorola Solutions-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 Solutions-authorized
batteries and chargers available for use with your radio,
see Accessories on page 183.

NOTICE:
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 Solutions-approved
charger.
The LED on the charger indicates the charging
progress; see the Charger User Guide.

Attaching the Battery

If your radio is preprogrammed with volatile-key retention,
the encryption keys are retained for approximately 30
seconds after battery removal. Check with your dealer or
system administrator for more information.
You can view the status of the battery if the radio is using
an IMPRES battery. See IMPRES Battery Annunciator on
page 172 for more information.
