Basic Operations
This chapter explains the operations to get you
started on using the radio.
Charging the Battery
Your radio is powered by a Nickel Metal-Hydride
(NiMH) or Lithium-Ion (Li-lon) battery.
• To avoid damage and comply with warranty terms,
charge the battery using a Motorola charger
exactly as described in the charger user guide.
All chargers can charge only Motorola authorized
batteries. Other batteries may not charge. It is
recommended your radio remains powered off
while charging.
• 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.
• Charge a new battery 14 to 16 hours before initial
use for best performance.
Attaching the Battery
Follow the procedure to attach the battery to your
radio.
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 and the Voice
Announcement/Text-to-Speech sounds Wrong
