Charge the Battery
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 available for use with your 
XPR 6300/6350/6500/6550 radio, see “Batteries” on page 77.
Note: When charging a battery attached to a radio, turn the radio off 
to ensure a full charge.
Battery Charger
To charge the battery, place the battery, with or without the radio, in a 
Motorola-approved charger. The charger’s LED indicates the 
charging progress; see your charger’s user guide. For a list of 
chargers, see “Chargers” on page 78.
To avoid a possible explosion:
• DO NOT replace the battery in any area 
labeled “hazardous atmosphere”.
