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 Solutions-authorized
batteries. Other batteries may explode, causing
personal injury and damage.
2.Use of accessories not recommended by
Motorola Solutions 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 18 AWG
for lengths up to 100 feet (30.48 m), and 16
AWG for lengths up to 150 feet (45.72 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 Solutions 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

BATTERIES AND
CHARGERS
The CLK radio provides a Lithium-Ion battery that
comes in 1130 mAh capacity.
BATTERY FEATURES AND CHARGING
OPTIONS
About the Li-Ion Battery
The CLK radio comes equipped with a rechargeable
Li-Ion battery. This battery should be fully 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 Solutions batteries are designed specifically
to be used with a Motorola Solutions charger and vice
versa. Charging in non-Motorola Solutions 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 Solutions rapidrate battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing
circuit to ensure that batteries are charged within the
temperature limits stated above.

Wearing radio close to body such as in a pocket or on a belt decreases range.
Change location of radio. To increase range and coverage, you can reduce
obstructions or increase power. UHF radios provides greater coverage in industrial
and commercial buildings. Increasing power provides greater signal range and
increased penetration through obstructions.
Refer to “Talk Range” on page 25.

W A R N I N G
This radio is not encrypted,
any classified
communication as defined
by the law is prohibited. This
radio is subjected to
interference by other radios.
Talk Range
The CLK radio has been designed to maximize
performance and improve transmission range in the
field. It is recommended that you do no use the radios
closer than 1.5 meters apart, to avoid interference.
Under normal circumstances, the CLK radio coverage
is 7400 square meters, or up to 6 floors.
Talk range depends on the terrain. It will be affected
by concrete structures, heavy foliage and by operating
radios indoors or in vehicles. Optimal range occurs in
flat, open areas with up to 9 kilometers of coverage.
Medium range occurs when buildings and trees are in
the way.
To establish a proper two-way communication, the
Channel, Frequency and Interference Eliminator
Codes must be the same on both radios. This
depends on the stored profile that has been preprogrammed on the radio:

Page 24
English
1.Channel: Current channel that the radio is
using, depending upon radio model.
2.Frequency: The frequency the radio uses to
transmit/receive.
3.Interference Eliminator Code: These codes
help minimize interference by providing a
choice of code combinations.
4.Scramble Code: Codes that make the
transmissions sound garbled to anyone
listening who is not set to that specific code.
