Charging The Radio; Charging Using The Drop-In Charging Tray; Charging Using The Plug-In Charger - Motorola DTR410 User Manual

Introduction: Charging the Radio
Motorola batteries are designed specifically to be used with a Motorola charger and vice versa.
Charging in non-Motorola equipment may lead to battery damage and void the battery warranty. The
battery should be at about 77°F (25°C) (room temperature), whenever possible. Charging a cold
battery (below 50° F [10°C]) may result in leakage of electrolyte and ultimately in failure of the
battery.
Charging a hot battery (above 95°F [35°C]) results in reduced discharge capacity, affecting the
performance of the radio. Motorola rapid-rate battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing circuit
to ensure that batteries are charged within the temperature limits stated above.
WARNING:
To charge the battery, place the battery (with or without the radio) in a Motorola-approved charger.

Charging the Radio

While the radio is charging, the display lights and the battery status icon flashes to show the status.
The battery charges in approximately 1-3 hours, and battery gauge shows all segments and stop
flashing when fully charged.
