Charging the Battery

Depending on a charger type, you can charge a battery alone or/and a battery attached to a radio.
Charging a battery attached to a radio can be done with the radio either turned on or off. Charging with the radio
turned off is recommended since this is more efficient (the battery charges faster).
Important: Motorola approved chargers provide optimum performance. Other chargers may not fully
charge your Motorola Lithium-Ion battery or may reduce the life of the battery.
Prerequisites:
Do not charge the battery in a hazardous area.
Procedure:
1 Connect the charger to an appropriate power source (100–240 V, 12 V), according to the specification of the
charger.
2 Perform one of the following actions:
• Desktop chargers – insert the battery or the radio with the battery attached into the appropriate socket of the
charger. Ensure that the battery/radio made good connection with the charger and that the LED on the charger
is indicating that charging is in progress
• Travel chargers and car chargers – connect the charger to the radio with the battery attached. Ensure that the
charger is firmly connected to the radio and that the radio display is indicating that charging is in progress.
Postrequisites: The battery may heat up during charging. After charging, make sure that the battery and the radio are
within the operating temperature range before using the radio.

Charging Indicators
