Preparing Your Radio for Use
Charging the Battery
Important:
ALWAYS charge your IMPRES battery with
an IMPRES charger for optimized battery life
and valuable battery data. IMPRES batteries
charged exclusively with IMPRES chargers
receive a 6-month capacity warranty extension
over the standard Motorola Premium battery
warranty duration.
Your radio is powered by a Nickel Metal-Hydride
(NiMH) or Lithium-Ion (Li-lon) battery. To avoid
damage and to ensure compliance with warranty
terms, charge the battery using a Motorola charger
exactly as described in the charger user guide. It is
recommended your radio remains powered off while
charging.
Charge a new battery 14 to 16 hours before initial use
for best performance.
Attaching the Battery
Note:
If user inadvertently attaches a UL battery to
an FM approved radio or vice versa, the
certification on the radio will be voided. Your
radio can be preprogrammed via CPS to alert
you if this battery mismatch occurs. Check
with your dealer or system administrator to
determine how your radio has been
programmed. This battery mismatch alert
feature is only applicable for IMPRES battery
and Non-IMPRES battery with kit number
programmed in Erasable Programmable Read
Only Memory (EPROM).
When the radio is attached with the wrong
battery, a low pitched warning tone sounds,
the LED lights up blinking red, display shows

Battery if the Voice Announcement/Text-to-
Speech is loaded via CPS.
1 Align the battery with the rails on the back of the
radio. Press the battery firmly, and slide upwards
until the latch snaps into place.
