Battery Use and Maintenance
• The Motorola iDEN Approved Lithium Ion
chargers provide optimum perfor mance. Other
chargers may not fully charge the iDEN Lithium
Ion battery or may yield a reduced number of
lifetime charge cycles.
• Extreme temperatures degrade battery
performance. Do not store the battery where
temperatures exceed 140°F (60°C) or fall below
4°F (-20°C).
• Lithium Ion batteries have a self discharge rate
and without use, lose about 1% of their charge
per day.
6
Getting Started
• The battery capacity is degraded if the batter y is
stored for long periods while fully charged. If
long term storage is required, store at half
capacity.
