Antenna

Your DTR Series radio may be equipped with a removable antenna. To install the antenna, rotate it clockwise firmly into the fitting on the top of the radio until it seats into the radio housing.

WARNING: DO NOT use your radio without an antenna.

Battery

WARNING: To avoid a possible explosion: DO NOT replace the battery in any area labeled “hazardous atmosphere.” DO NOT discard batteries in a fire.

Battery Life

Your radio uses a rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery.

Based on 5% transmit, 5% receive, 90% standby (standard duty cycle):

•NNTN4655 Li-Ion; Up to 19 Hours

•SNN5706 Li-Ion; Up to 14.5 Hours

Battery life is determined by several factors. Among the more critical are the regular overcharge of batteries and the average depth of discharge with each cycle. Typically, the greater the overcharge and the deeper the average discharge, the fewer cycles a battery will last.

For example, a battery which is overcharged and discharged 100% several times a day, lasts fewer cycles than a battery that receives less of an overcharge and is discharged to 50% per day. Further, a battery which receives minimal overcharging and averages only 25% discharge, lasts even longer.

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.

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.
