SAFETY AND WARRANTY

PRODUCT SAFETY AND RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE

!

C a u t i o n

Before using this product, read the operating instructions for safe usage contained in the Product Safety and RF Exposure booklet enclosed with your radio.

ATTENTION!

This radio is restricted to occupational use only to satisfy FCC RF energy exposure requirements. Before using this product, read the RF energy awareness information and operating instructions in the Product Safety and RF Exposure booklet enclosed with your radio (Motorola Publication part number 68P81095C98) to ensure compliance with RF energy exposure limits.

For a list of Motorola-approved antennas, batteries, and other accessories, visit the following web site which lists approved accessories: http://www.motorola.com/cgiss/ index.shtml.

BATTERY INFORMATION

Charging Batteries

This product is powered by a nickel-cadmium (NICd) or lithium-ion (Lilon) 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 nonMotorola 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 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 rapid-rate battery chargers contain a temperaturesensing circuit to ensure that batteries are charged within the temperature limits stated above.

INTRODUCTION

CONVENTIONAL RADIO SYSTEMS

Conventional radio systems typically refer to unit-to-unit communications through a single channel. Conventional systems also allow radio users to extend communication coverage by relaying their messages through a repeater. To ensure coordinated use by multiple users, each radio user must monitor the channel or repeater before transmitting to verify that the system is not currently busy.

Programmable Buttons

The two side buttons on your radio can be programmed by your dealer as shortcuts to various radio features.

Check with your dealer for a complete list of functions your radio supports.

Some buttons can access up to two features, depending on the type of button press:

short press — quickly pressing and releasing the programmable buttons

long press — pressing and holding the programmable buttons for a period of time (default 1 1/2 seconds or programmed value) before releasing

hold down — pressing and holding down the programmable buttons while checking status or making adjustments

Depending on how your radio has been programmed by your dealer, these functions are activated EITHER through a short press OR a long press, but NOT both.

A summary of programmable radio features and corresponding page references appears beginning on page 14.

In the “Feature” column, have your dealer write down the programmable buttons next to the features that have been programmed to them.

BATTERY INFORMATION

Charging Your Battery

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.

Note: Do not use the wall charger and desktop charger at the same time when charging.

WALL CHARGER

Note: Do not use the wall charger if using lithium-ion (Li-Ion) or nickel-metal hyride (NiMH) batteries. The wall charger is for nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries only.

To Charge the Battery

1Turn the radio off.

2Lift the dust cover to expose the audio accessory connector.

3Insert the charging adapter into the accessory connector.

4Plug the charging adapter into an electrical outlet.

The LED on the charging adapter lights Red while the charger is plugged into an electrical outlet.

Note: Do not leave the charger connected to the radio when it is not connected to the electrical outlet.

5Unplug the charger from the electrical outlet and radio after 10 hours.

Note: After the initial charge of 14 to 16 hours, do not charge the battery more than 10 hours.

*Remove the battery from the charger and use a pencil eraser to clean the three metal contacts at the back of the battery. Place the battery back into the charger. If the LED

indicator continues to flash red, replace the battery.

A standard battery may require 90 minutes to charge to 90% capacity. Even though new batteries might prematurely indicate a full charge (steady green LED), charge the battery for 14 to 16 hours prior to initial use for best performance.

A list of Motorola authorized batteries and battery chargers appears on page 35. The listed chargers will charge only Motorola authorized batteries. Other batteries may not charge.
