If the battery temperature is out-of-range, the Charge LED will illuminate
Flashing AMBER and charging will temporarily stop.
One of the features of the APX VA's charger is its ability to change from rapid
charge (Solid RED LED indication) to trickle charge (Flashing GREEN LED
indication), and complete charge (Solid GREEN LED indication) once full
battery charge has been achieved. A fully-charged battery that has just been
re-inserted into the charger may require a few minutes to change to complete
charging and give a Solid GREEN LED indication.
If a totally discharged battery is placed in the APX VA, the radio's receiver will
begin to function normally within a few seconds. Transmission should not be
attempted for about 30 seconds (longer if the radio battery is hot or cold) when
using a high-power radio, and should be kept to a minimum for the first few
minutes. Low-power radios will allow normal operation sooner.
Removing the Radio from the APX VA
1. If applicable, unlock the radio by turning the key clockwise.
2. Press the purple disengage button (see Figure 13) to release the radio
from the APX VA.
Note: If the radio fails to eject, hold down the purple disengage button and pull
out the radio. To ensure proper ejection in the future, insert and remove
the radio several times.
Recommended Maintenance and Cleaning
Contact material technologies used in the APX VA and APX Radios are
engineered to provide reliable interconnect. It is important that the electrical
contact interface remains clean and free of foreign material to ensure reliable
performance. To maintain optimal performance of the contact interface,
Motorola Solutions recommends inspecting and cleaning the contacts every 6
months with DeoxIT® GOLD cleaner/lubricant pen (Supplier CAIG Labs, P/N
G100P). DeoxIT® GOLD cleaner/lubricant is available at numerous
electronics suppliers (McMaster Carr, Fry's, Radio Shack, etc.) and directly
from the manufacturer. The pen based package is recommended as it provides
better cleaning action and access to the contacts. Prior to applying the
lubricant/cleaner, wipe the contacts with lint-free swabs to remove any dirt or
foreign material. Per the manufacturer's instructions, shake the pen, depress
the pen tip until fluid begins to flow and saturates the felt tip. Then with short
wiping strokes apply the lubricant/cleaner to the contacts.
