Introduction: Charging the Radio

1-7

 

 

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.

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.

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

To charge the battery, place the battery (with or without the radio) in a Motorola-approved charger.

Charging the Radio

While the radio is charging, the display lights and the battery status icon flashes to show the status. The battery charges in approximately 1-3 hours, and battery gauge shows all segments and stop flashing when fully charged.

Charging using the Drop-in Charging Tray

NOTE: Use of the Drop-in Charging Tray is recommended for daily use.

1.Place the charging tray on a flat surface.

2.Connect the plug-in charger and drop-in charging tray by inserting the plug into the rear of the drop-in charging tray.

3.Plug the charger into an AC outlet.

4.Insert the radio (with battery installed) into the charging tray.

NOTE: The charging tray has been designed to charge the radio with or without the holster.

Charging using the Plug-in Charger

2.Open the accessory connector cover.

3.Plug the other end of the charger into the accessory connector.

4.Disconnect the charger from the radio by pressing the two side buttons on the charger and remove from the radio.
