Battery Information
The JT 1000 radio receives its power from an
alkaline battery or a rechargeable nickel-cadmium
(NiCd) battery as listed in the accessories section.
These batteries are a safe, dependable power
source for your radio. Proper care of the battery will
ensure its effectiveness and allow for peak radio
performance.
Notes:
• The NTN7319 alkaline battery is compatible
with JT 1000 radios only.
• The alkaline battery is not rechargeable.
• When the alkaline battery is used on a
JT 1000 radio, the radio is not compatible
with the mobile vehicular adapter(MTVA).
Recharging Nickel-Cadmium Batteries
Recharge the battery before use to ensure optimum capacity and
performance. The battery was designed specifically to be used with a Motorola
charger. Charging in non-Motorola equipment may lead to battery damage and
void the battery warranty.
Note: When charging a battery that is attached to the radio, turn the radio
off to ensure a full charge.
Charging Temperature
The battery should be at about 77° F (room temperature) whenever possible.
Charging a cold battery (below 50° F) may result in leakage of electrolyte and
ultimately, in failure of the battery. Charging a hot battery (above 95° F) results in
reduced discharge capacity, affecting the performance of the radio. JT 1000
rapid-rate battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that
the battery is charged within these temperature limits.
Short Circuit
Care should be taken to avoid external short-circuiting of the battery.
Memory Effect (Reduced Charge Capacity)
Memory effect is a phenomenon which causes a temporary loss in battery
capacity or voltage due to repetitive shallow discharging or long-term
overcharging. This memory effect has been virtually eliminated from Motorola
batteries through the use of new cell technology.
Battery
Do not attempt to change or charge the battery in a hazardous
atmosphere. See Safety Standards section of this manual.

WARNING
A sustained high-rate discharge (for example, a paper clip placed
accidently across the battery contacts) may permanently damage the
battery, void the battery warranty, and create a burn or fire hazard.
