BATTERY FEATURES

The RDM Series MURS Two-Way Radio provides Lithium-Ion batteries that come in different capacities that will define the battery life. It also offers the option to use Alkaline batteries.

About the Li-Ion Battery

The RDM Series MURS Two-Way Radio comes equipped with a rechargeable Li-Ion battery. This battery should be charged before initial use to ensure optimum capacity and performance.

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.

Battery Recycling and Disposal
Li-Ion rechargeable batteries can be recycled.
However, recycling facilities may not be
available in all areas. Under various U.S. state
laws and the laws of several other countries,
batteries must be recycled and cannot be
disposed of in landfills or incinerators. Contact		RADIO
your local waste management agency for
specific requirements and information in your
area. Motorola fully endorses and encourages
the recycling of Li-Ion batteries. In the U.S. and		OVERVIEW
Canada, Motorola participates in the
nationwide Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation (RBRC) program for Li-Ion battery
collection and recycling.
