Getting Started
Weatherproof
This radio is weatherproof to IP-54 standards. It is dust/splashproof from any direction. The radio is resistant to water and rain splashes only when the battery cover and headset accessory mini-USB ports are sealed. Open the battery compartment door or headset port cover only when the radio is dry. Use of a headset accessory should be in dry environments only.
The charging base and AC adaptor are not waterproof. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow. Charge the radios only in a dry location. Do not place wet radios into the charging base. The battery door must be tightly closed with the screw to maintain the weatherproof seal of the radio.

Using the mini-USB Charging Adaptor
The mini-USB charging adaptor allows you to conveniently charge your NiMH battery pack. This is an alternative to charging your NiMH battery pack in the Battery Charger desk stand using the AC wall adaptor and especially useful when used while traveling.
Available mini-USB charging options:
1.Vehicle charger
2.Mini-USB computer cable
If using a computer, the computer must be turned on.
This and other accessories (sold separately) are available for your radio. For more information, visit our Web site at motorolasolutions.com/talkabout or shop.giantintl.com.
