BATTERY INFORMATION

Battery Care and Tips

This product is powered by a nickel-cadmium (NiCd)

or a nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) rechargeable

battery.

The following battery tips will help you obtain the

highest performance and longest cycle life from your

Motorola rechargeable battery.

Charge your new battery overnight (14-16

hours) before using it to obtain maximum

battery capacity and performance.

Charging in non-Motorola equipment may lead

to battery damage and void the battery warranty.

When charging a battery that is attached to the

radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.

The battery should be at about 25¡C (room

temperature) whenever possible. Charging a

cold battery (below 10¡C) may result in leakage

of electrolyte and ultimately, in failure of the

battery.

Charging a hot battery (above 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 the battery is charged

within these temperature limits.

New batteries can be stored up to two years

without signiÞcant cycle loss. Store new/unused

batteries in a cool dry area.

Batteries which have been in storage should be

charged overnight.

Do not return fully charged batteries to the

charger for an Òextra boostÓ. This action will

signiÞcantly reduce cycle life.

Do not leave your radio and battery in the

charger when not charging. Continuous charging

will shorten battery life. (Do not use your charger

as a radio stand.)

For optimum battery life and operation use only

Motorola brand chargers. They were designed to

operate as an integrated energy system.
