Accessories Safety 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
•
•the radio attached with battery
1 To reduce risk of injury, charge only the rechargeable Motorola Solutions-authorized batteries.
Charging the other batteries may cause explosion, personal injury, and damage.
2 Use of accessories not recommended by Motorola Solutions may result in fire, electric shock, or
injury.
3 To reduce damage to the electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charger.
4 An extension cord should not be used unless necessary. Use of an improper extension cord may
result in fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure that the cord size is
18 AWG for lengths up to 2.0 m (6.5 feet), and 16 AWG for lengths up to 3.0 m (9.8 feet).
5 Do not operate the charger if it has been broken or damaged in any way. Take it to any qualified
Motorola Solutions service representatives.
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.
Operational Safety Guidelines
•Turn off the radio while charging.
•The charger is not suitable for outdoor. Use only in dry locations or conditions.
•Connect charger to an appropriately fused and wired supply of the correct voltage (as specified on
the product only).
•Disconnect charger from line voltage by removing main plug.
•Connect the equipment to an outlet which is easy to access and near.
•For equipment using fuses, replacements must comply with the type and rating specified in the
equipment instructions.
•Maximum ambient temperature around the power supply equipment must not exceed 40 °C (104
°F).
•Power output from the power supply unit must not exceed the ratings stated on the product label
located at the bottom of the charger.
•Make sure the cord is not stepped on, tripped over, subjected to water, damage, or stress.

Batteries, Chargers, and Audio Accessories Safety Information
Acoustic Safety
CAUTION: Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended periods of time may
temporarily or permanently affect your hearing. The louder the radio volume, the less time is
required before your hearing can be affected. Hearing damage from loud noises is sometimes
undetectable at first and can have a cumulative effect.
To protect your hearing:
•Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job.
Increase the volume only if you are in noisy surroundings.
•
•Reduce the volume before connecting headset or earpiece.
•Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpieces at high volume.
•If you experience hearing discomfort, ringing in your ears, or speeches that are muffled, you should
stop listening to your radio through your headset or earpiece, and have your hearing checked by
your doctor.

Battery and Charger
Battery and Charger
This chapter describes the battery and charger feature for the radio.
Battery Specifications
The radio comes equipped with a rechargeable Li-Ion battery. To ensure optimum capacity and
performance, the battery should be charged before initial use.
Battery life is determined by several factors. The critical ones are overcharging of batteries and the
average depth of discharge each cycle. Typically, the greater the overcharge and the deeper the
average discharge, the fewer cycles a battery lasts. For example, a battery which is overcharged and
discharged 100 % for several times a day, lasts fewer cycles than a battery that overcharges less and
is discharged to 50 % per day. Battery with minimal overcharge and has an average of 25 %
discharge, lasts even longer.
Motorola Solutions batteries are designed specifically to be used with a Motorola Solutions charger and
vice versa. Charging batteries with non-Motorola Solutions equipment may lead to battery damage and
void the battery warranty. Whenever possible, maintain the battery temperature to 77 °F (25 °C) (room
temperature). Charging a cold battery (below 50 °F [10 °C]) may result in leakage of electrolyte and
ultimate failure of the battery. Charging a hot battery (above 95 °F [35 °C]) results in reducing
discharge capacity and affecting the performance of the radio. Motorola Solutions rapid-rate battery
chargers contain a temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that batteries are charged within the
temperature limits.
Battery Life
The following table specifies the battery life based on 5 % transmit, 5 % receive, and 90 % standby
(standard duty cycle).
