Additional Information

Battery Charging and Disposal

•Charging Batteries

This product is powered by a nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) or 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 that is attached to the radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.

!WARNING

Do not attempt to change or charge the battery in a hazardous atmosphere.

The battery should be at about 77°F (room temperature) whenever possible. Charging a cold battery (below 50° F) may result in leakage of electrolyte and ultimately, in failure of the battery. Charging a hot battery (above 95°F) results in reduced discharge capacity, affecting the performance of the radio. Motorola rapid-rate battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that the battery is charged within these temperature limits.

!WARNING

Care should be taken to avoid external short circuiting of the battery. A sustained high-rate discharge (for example, a paper clip placed accidentally across the battery contacts) may permanently damage the battery, void the battery warranty, and create a burn or ﬁre hazard.

•Recycling or Disposal of Batteries

NiCd

At the end of its useful life, the NiCd battery can be recycled. However, recycling facilities may not be available in all areas. Under various state or local laws, the battery must be recycled or disposed of properly and cannot be disposed of in landﬁlls or incinerators.
