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.

Motorola endorses and encourages the recycling of all re-chargeable batteries. Contact your local Motorola dealer for further information.

Charging your Battery

When the battery level is very low, a blinking red LED indicator lights up during transmit mode, and an alert tone sounds. You will need to recharge the battery before you can continue to use your radio.

Place the radio with the battery attached or the battery alone in the charger. The charger’s LED indicator will indicate the charging progress.

NOTE: Since new batteries or batteries that have not been used for several months could prematurely indicate full charge (solid green LED), charge the batteries for 14 to 16 hours prior to initial use to achieve optimal performance.

*Remove the battery from charger and use a pencil eraser to clean the four metal contacts on the bottom of the battery. Place the battery back into the charger. If the LED indicator continues to ?ash red, replace the battery.

†A standard battery may require one hour to charge to 90% capacity.
