BATTERY FEATURES

RDX Series™ radios provide Lithium-Ion batteries that come in different capacities that will define the battery life. It also offers the option to use Alkaline batteries.

About the Li-Ion Battery

The RDX Series™ radio comes equipped with a rechargeable Li-Ion battery. This battery should be charged before initial use to ensure optimum capacity and performance.

Battery life is determined by several factors. Among the more critical are the regular overcharge of batteries and the average depth of discharge with each cycle. Typically, the greater the overcharge and the deeper the average discharge, the fewer cycles a battery will last. For example, a battery which is overcharged and discharged 100% several times a day, lasts fewer cycles than a battery that receives less of an overcharge and is discharged to 50% per day. Further, a battery

14

which receives minimal overcharging and averages only 25% discharge, lasts even longer.

Motorola batteries are designed specifically to be used with a Motorola charger and vice versa. Charging in non-Motorola equipment may lead to battery damage and void the battery warranty. The battery should be at about 77°F (25°C) (room temperature), whenever possible. Charging a cold battery (below 50° F [10°C]) may result in leakage of electrolyte and ultimately in failure of the battery. Charging a hot battery (above 95°F [35°C]) results in reduced discharge capacity, affecting the performance of the radio. Motorola rapid-rate battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that batteries are charged within the temperature limits stated above.

Battery Recycling and Disposal

Li-Ion rechargeable batteries can be recycled. However, recycling facilities may not be available in all areas. Under various U.S. state laws and the laws of several other countries, batteries must be recycled and cannot be disposed of in landfills or incinerators. Contact your local waste management agency for specific requirements and information in your area. Motorola fully endorses and encourages the recycling of Li-Ion batteries. In the U.S. and Canada, Motorola participates in the nationwide Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC) program for Li-Ion battery collection and recycling.

Many retailers and dealers participate in this program. For the location of the drop-off facility closest to you, access RBRC's Internet web site at:

www.rbrc.com or call:

1-800-8-BATTERY

This internet site and telephone number also provides other useful information concerning recycling options for consumers, businesses and governmental agencies.

Charging the Battery

RDX Series™ offers two types of chargers :

Standard Charger and,

Rapid Charger.

Note: The radio comes equipped with a Standard Charger

To charge the battery (with the radio attached), place it in a Motorola-approved Drop-in Tray Single Unit Charger or Drop-in Tray Multi Unit Charger.

Note: When acquiring additional chargers or power supplies, make sure you have similar drop-in tray chargers and power supplies sets (all “rapid” or all “standard”). For part number details, refer to “Chargers” on page 81

1.Place the drop-in tray charger on a flat surface.

2.Insert the connector of the power supply into the port on the side of the drop-in tray charger.

3.Plug the AC adaptor into a power outlet.

4.Insert the radio into the tray with the front of the radio facing the front of the charger, as shown.

Note: When charging a battery attached to a radio, turn the radio OFF to ensure a full charge. See “Operational Safety Guidelines” on page 8 for more information

English 22

Charging a Standalone Battery

To charge only the battery - at step 4, insert the battery into the tray, with the inside surface of the battery facing the front of the charger, as shown. Ensure the slots in the battery correctly engage in the charger

Note: Ensure that the bracket in the charger is adjusted to the correct position for either Standard or High capacity battery. See “Charging a Standard Battery” on page 23

Charging a Standard Battery

The drop-in tray charger has a removable bracket that is adjustable depending on the type of battery that needs to be charged. It is designed to charge either the battery (with the radio) or a standalone battery. The drop-in tray charger's default position will charge a standard battery. The following image shows the orientation for each battery:
