BATTERY INFORMATION
Charging Your Battery
If a battery is new, or its charge level is very
low, you will need to charge it before you can
use it. When the battery level is very low and
the radio is in transmit mode you will see the
LED indicator flash red and hear an alert tone.
Note: Batteries are shipped uncharged from
the factory. Always charge a new
battery 14 to 16 hours before initial
use, regardless of the status indicated
by the charger.
To charge the battery, place the battery, with or
without the radio, in the charger. The charger
LED indicates charging progress:
A list of Motorola-authorized batteries and
battery chargers appears on page 27. The
listed chargers will charge only Motorola-
authorized batteries. Other batteries may not
charge.
