Charging the Batteries

The charger pockets are designed to accept several different
battery shapes and sizes, so it is important to make certain
that a radio with a battery attached or a battery alone is
inserted correctly. If a radio with a battery attached or battery
alone is inserted incorrectly, the indicator will not illuminate,
indicating that the battery is not being charged.
New batteries (never used before) prematurely indicate a full
charge in some cases (STEADY GREEN indication).
To ensure optimum performance, Motorola recommends all new
batteries be left in the charger 14 to 16 hours prior to initial use.
1. Once a battery or radio with a battery is properly inserted into a
charger pocket, the charger begins to rapid charge the battery and is
indicated by a STEADY RED on the charger indicator. The length of
time the charger indicates a STEADY RED is dependent upon the
charge remaining in the battery.
2. Completion of rapid charge (>90% available capacity) is indicated by
a FLASHING GREEN on the charger indicator. This indicates the
"top-off" charge (trickle charge) and requires approximately 1 hour.
3. Completion of "top-off" charge is indicated by a STEADY GREEN
on the charger indicators. This indicates a battery is fully charged.
4. Other indications that may appear on the charger indicator while
charging are:
• FLASHING YELLOW – indicates that either the battery
temperature or the battery voltage is out of range for charging.
Charging resumes when theses conditions have been
corrected.
