Recycling or Disposal of Batteries

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 dealer for further

information.

Charging your Battery

When the battery level is very low, you need to

recharge the battery before you can continue to use

your radio.

1. Place the radio with the battery attached or the

battery alone in the charger.

2. The charger's LED would indicate the charging

progress.

NOTE:

Because new batteries or batteries that have not

been used for several months could prematurely indi-

cate full charge (solid green LED), charge the batteries

for 14 to 16 hours prior to initial use to achieve optimal

performance.
