Preparing Your Radio for Use

Charging the Battery

Your radio is powered by a Lithium-Ion (Li-lon) battery. To avoid damage and comply with warranty terms, charge the battery using a Motorola charger exactly as described in the charger user guide.
If battery is attached to your radio, ensure that your radio is turned off before charging.
Charge a new battery 14 to 16 hours before initial use for best performance.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS charge your IMPRES battery with the
IMPRES charger. Using a conventional charger causes irrecoverable loss of IMPRES battery data. As a result, the battery functions as a non-IMPRES battery and cannot display the data on your radio. Additionally, it voids your IMPRES battery warranty, although the standard battery warranty still applies.
Charge battery only in non-hazardous areas. After battery is charged, allow your radio to rest for at least,
!
3 minutes. See Batteries on page 49 for the available
a u t i o
batteries.

Switching Between Conventional and
Trunking Mode
Each channel in your radio can be configured as a conventional channel or a trunking channel. Use the Channel Selector Knob to switch between a conventional or a trunking channel.
When switching from trunking to conventional mode, certain features are unavailable. Icons for the trunking features reflect this change by appearing “grayed out’. Disabled features are hidden in the menu.
Your radio also has features available in both conventional and trunking mode. However, the minor differences in the way each feature works does NOT affect the performance of your radio.
