Preparing Your Radio for Use
Charging the Battery
Warning
To avoid a possible explosion:
• Do not replace the battery in any area
labeled hazardous atmosphere.
•
Do not discard batteries in a fire.
The Motorola-approved battery shipped with your
radio is uncharged. Prior to using a new battery,
charge it for a minimum of 16 hours to ensure
optimum capacity and performance. For a list of
Motorola-authorized batteries and chargers available
for use with your radio, see Accessories on page
182.
Note
When charging a battery attached to a radio,
turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.
To charge the battery, place the battery (with or
without the radio) in a Motorola-approved charger.
The LED on the charger indicates the charging
progress; see the charger user guide.
Attaching the Battery
If your radio is preprogrammed with volatile-key
retention, the encryption keys are retained for
approximately 30 seconds after battery removal.
Check with your dealer or system administrator for
more information.
You can view the status of the IMPRES
™
battery if the
radio is using an IMPRES battery. See IMPRES
Battery Annunciator on page 172 for more
information.
