INFORMATION
This document contains important safety and operating instructions. Read these instructions carefully and save them for future reference.
Before using the battery charger, read all the instructions and cautionary markings on
•The charger,
•The battery, and
•The radio using the battery
1.To reduce risk of injury, charge only the rechargeable Motorola-authorized batteries. Other batteries may explode, causing personal injury and damage.
2.Use of accessories not recommended by Motorola may result in risk of fire, electric shock, or injury.
3.To reduce risk of damage to the electric plug and cord, pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger.
4.An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure that the cord size is 18AWG for lengths up to 6.5 feet (2.0 m), and 16AWG for lengths up to 9.8 feet (3.0 m).
5.To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, do not operate the charger if it has been broken or damaged in any way. Take it to a qualified Motorola service representative.
6.Do not disassemble the charger; it is not repairable and replacement parts are not available. Disassembly of the charger may result in risk of electrical shock or fire.
7.To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the AC outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning

BATTERY FEATURES
About the Li-Ion Battery
The RM 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
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.
