OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Single-unit chargers will charge only the Motorola authorized 
batteries listed in 
Table 1. Other batteries may not charge. 
The battery charger’s pocket will accommodate either a radio with 
a battery attached or a battery alone. Prior to charging a battery 
with radio, turn the radio off. To charge a battery, use the 
following procedure: (Refer to 
Figure 1, page 5)
1. Plug the round end of the transformer cord into the socket on 
the back of the charger.
2. Plug the transformer into the appropriate ac outlet. The 
charger LED will blink green once to indicate a successful 
power-up.
3. Insert a battery, or a radio with battery (radio turned off), into 
the charger's pocket by:
a. aligning the groove on each side of the battery with the 
corresponding raised rail on each side of the charger 
pocket
b. pressing the battery toward the rear of the pocket 
c. sliding the battery into the charger pocket, ensuring 
complete contact between the charger and battery 
contacts 
2. When the battery is properly seated in the pocket, the charger 
LED will light red to indicate that the battery is charging rapidly. 
When the battery is 90% charged, the LED will begin to blink 
green to indicate that the battery is trickle charging. When the 
battery is fully charged, the LED will change to a steady green 
light to indicate that the battery is fully charged.
Note: Even though new batteries might prematurely indicate a full 
charge (steady green LED), charge the battery for 14 to 16 
hours prior to initial use for best performance.
Batteries will charge best at room temperature.
