Charging the Battery

To avoid a possible explosion:

!	•	DO NOT replace the battery in any area labeled
		“hazardous atmosphere”.
•		DO NOT discard batteries in a fire.

The Motorola-approved battery shipped with your radio is uncharged. Prior to using a new battery, charge it for a minimum of 16 hours to ensure optimum capacity and performance.

For a list of Motorola-authorized batteries available for use with your radio, see Batteries and Battery Accessories on page page 90.

Attaching the Antenna

With the radio turned off, set the antenna in its receptacle and turn clockwise to attach it to the radio.

To remove the antenna, turn the antenna counterclockwise. Make sure you turn off the radio first.

For information regarding available antennas, see Antenna on page 88.

Attaching the Belt Clip

Align the grooves of the belt clip with those of the battery and press downward until you hear a click.

	To remove the clip, use a flat-bladed
	object to press the belt clip tab away

	upward and away from the radio.

English

Attaching the Universal Connector Cover

The universal connector is located on the antenna side of the radio. It is used to connect accessories to the radio.

Note: To prevent damage to the connector, shield it with the connector cover when not in use.

Insert the hooked end of the cover into the slot above the connector. Press downward on the cover’s top to seat it in the slot.

Rub the ball of your thumb from the top to the bottom of the cover while applying pressure towards the radio. This should flex the cover and snap it into place.

To remove the universal connector cover, insert a flatbladed screwdriver into the area between the bottom of the cover and the slot below the connector.

Hold the top of the cover with your thumb while you pry the bottom of the cover away from the radio with the screwdriver.
