BATTERY INFORMATION
Charging Your Battery
This radio is powered by a either a nickel-metal
hydride (NiMH), or a lithium-ion (Li-lon)
rechargeable battery. Charge the battery before use
to ensure optimum capacity and performance. The
battery was designed specifically to be used with a
Motorola charger. Charging in non-Motorola
equipment may lead to battery damage and void the
battery warranty.
Note: When charging a battery attached to a radio,
turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.
The battery should be at about 25°C (77°F) (room
temperature), whenever possible. Charging a cold
battery (below 10°C [50°F]) may result in leakage of
electrolyte and ultimately in failure of the battery.
Charging a hot battery (above 35°C [95°F]) results
in reduced discharge capacity, affecting the
performance of the radio. Motorola rapid-rate
battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing
circuit to ensure that batteries are charged within the
temperature limits stated above.
If a battery is new, or its charge level is very low, you
will need to charge it before you can use it. When
the battery level is low and the radio is in transmit
mode you will see the LED indicator flash red. Upon
release of the PTT button, you will hear an alert
tone.
Note: Batteries are shipped uncharged from the
factory. Always charge a new battery 14 to 16
hours before initial use, regardless of the
status indicated by the charger.

English
GETTING STARTED
Desktop Rapid Charger
To Charge the Battery
a Remove the battery from the charger and use a
pencil eraser to clean the three metal contacts
on the back of the battery. Replace the battery
in the charger. If the LED indicator continues to
flash red, consult your dealer.
b A standard battery may require 90 minutes to
charge to 90% capacity.
1 Turn the radio off.
2 Place the battery, with or without the radio, in
the charger pocket.
• The charger LED indicates the charging
progress.

SCAN
Your radio is equipped with the Scan feature, which
allows you to monitor multiple channels for voice
activity. The radio will stop on a channel when it
detects activity on it.
Scan lists are assigned per channel, by your dealer/
programmer. Your radio automatically switches to a
channel, within that scan list, when it detects activity.
You can edit these lists through your radio’s menu.
• The LED indicator blinks green during scan
mode; it stops blinking when the radio switches
to an active channel.
•The Gsymbol appears on the display while in
scan mode.
There are two types of Scan available in your radio:
• System Scan
• Auto Scan

stop on that channel for a default period of time
after activity has ceased. This is referred to as
“hangtime”. During this hangtime you may respond
by pressing the PTT button.
Note: The LED scan indicator stops blinking while
the radio is in hangtime. If the PTT button is
not pressed after the preprogrammed
hangtime, the radio returns to scanning
