Chapter 1: General Information
As a personal computer peripheral, this device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
1 This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2 This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
NOTICE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
While the device is communicating with the laptop, the laptop charger must be disconnected.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Important Safety Information
RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide For Two-Way Radios
CAUTION: Before using this product, read the RF Energy Exposure and Safety Guide For Two-
Way Radios that ships with the radio. The Guide contains operating instructions for safe usage,
important RF energy awareness and control information as well as regulatory information, to
help ensure compliance with applicable standards and regulations. This radio is restricted to
occupational use only. Any modification to this device, not expressly authorized by Motorola,
may void the user’s authority to operate this device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type
and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential
radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the Motorola-approved
antenna types with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna
type indicated. Antenna types not included, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for
that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Notice to Users (FCC and Industry Canada)

Informations importantes sur la sécurité
Exposition aux radiofréquences et sécurité du produit pour radios
bidirectionnelles portatives
CAUTION: Cette radio ne doit être utilisée qu'à des fins professionnelles. Avant d'utiliser la
radio, lisez le guide Exposition aux radiofréquences et sécurité du produit pour radios
bidirectionnelles portatives, qui contient d'importantes instructions de fonctionnement pour une
utilisation sécuritaire et des informations sur l'exposition aux fréquences radioélectriques afin
d'assurer la conformité aux normes et règlements applicables.
Selon la règlementation d'Industrie Canada, cet émetteur radio ne peut être utilisé qu'avec une
antenne dont le type et le gain maximal (ou minimal) sont approuvés par Industrie Canada pour cet
émetteur. Afin de limiter les interférences radio pour les autres utilisateurs, le type et le gain de
l'antenne doivent être choisis de façon à ce que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (P.I.R.E.)
ne soit pas plus forte qu'il ne le faut pour établir la communication.
Le présent émetteur a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne
agréés par Motorola et ayant un gain admissible maximal ainsi que l'impédance requise pour chaque
type d'antenne indiqué. Les types d'antenne non inclus, dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal
indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur.
Avis aux utilisateurs (FCC et Industrie Canada)

NOTICE: The communication system determines the radio transmit and receive time (operating
cycle time). During overload, or beyond the systems specifications at high ambient
temperatures, the thermal control cuts down the RF power output, which reduces the radio
coverage range.
You can attach a colorful o-ring to a radio antenna to distinguish radios from one another.
An RFID knob is available as an optional accessory which allows tracking radios easily. The
knob contains an RFID tag which can be read by handheld scanners greatly enhancing the
speed of radio identification. The knob is a retrofit option and can replace an existing volume
knob.

Attaching the Antenna
Procedure:
1 Insert the screw-in base of the antenna into the antenna terminal on the top of the radio.
2 Turn clockwise until snug.
IMPORTANT: Use only the antenna intended for the radio. Make sure that the antenna
has an operating frequency engraving and a color ring at the bottom of the thread. Use of
other antennas can result in significant range loss due to poor RF performance.

Charging the Battery
You can charge a battery alone or/and a battery attached to a radio.
Charging a battery attached to a radio can be done with the radio either turned on or off. The battery
charges faster when the radio is turned off.
IMPORTANT: Motorola approved chargers provide optimal performance. Other chargers may
fail to fully charge or reduce the life of the battery.
Prerequisites:
Do not charge the battery in a hazardous area.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect a radio without a battery to the charger.
Procedure:
1 Connect the charger to an appropriate power source (100–240 V, 12 V), according to the
specification of the charger.
2 Perform one of the following actions:
• Desktop chargers – insert the battery or the radio with the battery attached into the
appropriate socket of the charger. Ensure that the battery/radio made good connection with
the charger and that the LED on the charger is indicating that charging is in progress
• Travel chargers and car chargers – connect the charger to the radio with the battery
attached. Ensure that the charger is firmly connected to the radio and that the radio display is
indicating that charging is in progress.
NOTICE: If a multi-unit charger LED indicates an error (blinking red light) when radio is
inserted and being charged with the multi-unit charger (MUC), please re-insert the radio.
If, after several reconnections to the charger, the light is still red, the battery may be
damaged or depleted.
Postrequisites: The battery may heat up during charging. After charging, make sure that the battery
and the radio are within the operating temperature range before using the radio.
Charging the Battery By Using a USB Cable
Prerequisites: Make sure that Motorola Customer Programming Software (CPS) or the USB Charging
Driver Tool (available on the CPS installation CD) is installed on your computer.
For more information on CPS, contact your service provider.
Procedure:
1 Turn on the radio.
2 Connect the radio to the computer with the USB cable.
NOTICE: When a radio, which is powered off with a fully charged battery is connected to
a computer USB port, the status LED may light up red. Pressing the END key will activate
the Charger Mode.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect/disconnect the USB cable while USB Cable
Disconnected or Charger Connected notifications are displayed.

Indication Status
Solid green Battery fully charged
Blinking green Battery charged at 90%
Solid red Rapid charge
Blinking red Faulty or invalid battery
Blinking orange Battery is waiting to charge
NOTICE:
When you charge your radio in a multi-unit charger and the battery is at the 90–100% charge
level, the LED indicators on the radio and on the multi-unit charger differ:
• LED on the radio – blinking green
• LED on the multi-unit charger – solid green
For more accurate representation of the charging levels refer to LED Indications on page 133.
NOTICE:
If you insert a radio with a deeply discharged battery into the multi-unit charger, the LED on the
radio may indicate a charging error (blinking red). This can be cleared by reinserting the radio.

Low Battery Indication
The radio indicates low battery level by playing an audible alert when the battery charge falls to a
preset level. The low battery alert can be programmed by your service provider to 5, 10, or 20 per cent
of remaining capacity. The default setting is 5 per cent. The service provider also configures how
frequently the alert repeats.
