Appendix
D
Maintenance
Suggestion:
• Before using your radio for the first time, remove the plastic lens protector from the display, and charge
the battery until the LED green light appears.
• Battery charging must occur only in non-hazardous areas.
• Clean the connector frequently and before the programming procedure for example, with a soft brush
(do not use fluids).

Storage

• Do not store the battery where the temperatures exceed +65 °C or fall below -20 °C.
• 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.

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 replacement. In order to ensure maximum life for
your battery:
• Do not charge it unless necessary (low battery indication).
• Charge it until full charge indication is on.

Battery Charging Temperature

When the battery is fitted to the radio, it charges within the temperature range of 0 °C to 45 °C. When the battery is
charged separately (without the radio), the temperature range of battery operation is from 0 °C to +45 °C in charger
mode, and from -10 °C to +60 °C in discharge mode.
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.
