Do not discard batteries in a fire.
When and where to use: 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

charger.
The LED on the charger indicates the charging progress. For more information, see the Charger User
Guide.
2.2
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.

from the charger. This feature is applicable for IMPRES and Non-IMPRES battery.

Unknown Battery temporarily, and battery indicator is not shown in the radio display. Battery menu
screen displays Unknown Battery permanently and IMPRES battery information is not shown on the
radio display.
Procedure:
