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.
