BATTERY INFORMATION

Charging Your Battery

This radio is powered by a nickel-metal hydride
(NiMH) rechargeable battery. Charge the
battery before use to ensure optimum capacity
and performance. The battery was designed
specifically to be used with a Motorola charger.
Charging in non-Motorola equipment may lead
to battery damage and void the battery
warranty.
Note: When charging a battery attached to a
radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full
charge.
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.
If a battery is new, or its charge level is very
low, you will need to charge it before you can
use it.
Note: Batteries are shipped uncharged from
the factory. Always charge a new
battery 14 to 16 hours before initial
use.
