PRODUCT SAFETY AND RF
EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE
Before using this product, read
the operating instructions and RF
energy awareness information
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.
For a list of Motorola-approved batteries and other
accessories, visit the following website which lists
approved accessories:

ACOUSTIC SAFETY
Exposure to loud noises from any source for
extended periods of time may temporarily or
permanently affect your hearing. The louder the
3
radio’s 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 neccessary 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.
• When using the radio without a headset or
earpiece, do not place the radio’s speaker
directly against your ear.
• 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.

BATTERIES AND CHARGERS 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, and
• the radio using the battery
1. To reduce risk of injury, charge only the
rechargeable Motorola-authorized batteries.
Other batteries may explode, causing personal
injury and damage.
2. Use of accessories not recommended by
Motorola 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 18AWG
for lengths up to 100 feet (30.48 m), and
16AWG 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 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

BATTERY FEATURES
DLR Series radios provide standard
Lithium-Ion batteries.
Note: Batteries with different capacities and
operational life may be available in future.
About the Li-Ion Battery
The DLR Series 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
RADIO OVERVIEW
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 batteries are designed specifically to
be used with a Motorola charger and vice
versa. Charging in non-Motorola 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 rapid-rate battery chargers contain a
temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that
batteries are charged within the temperature
limits stated above.
12
English
Battery Recycling and Disposal
Li-Ion rechargeable batteries can be recycled.
However, recycling facilities may not be
available in all areas. Under various U.S. state
laws and the laws of several other countries,
batteries must be recycled and cannot be
disposed of in landfills or incinerators. Contact
your local waste management agency for
specific requirements and information in your
area. Motorola fully endorses and encourages
the recycling of Li-Ion batteries. In the U.S. and
Canada, Motorola participates in the
nationwide Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation (RBRC) program for Li-Ion battery
collection and recycling.
Many retailers and dealers participate in this
program. For the location of the drop-off facility
closest to you, access RBRC's Internet web
site at:
www.rbrc.com
or call:
1-800-8-BATTERY
This internet site and telephone number also
provides other useful information concerning
recycling options for consumers, businesses
and governmental agencies.

• The Tx/Rx Indicator blinks slowly RED when
on standby. When the radio is transmitting, the
Tx/Rx Indicator is solid RED.
• When the radio is receiving, the Tx/Rx
Indicator LED blinks RED quickly.
IMPORTANT:When talking on the radio, make sure
not to release the PTT button at any
given time. Whether you are
transmitting using the PTT button or
using an in-line PTT on the earpiece
accessory, always ensure the PTT
button is pressed firmly until the
transmission is finished. Releasing the
PTT button while transmitting and trying
to immediately press the PTT button
again causes the radio to give a loud
denial tone. Wait for 2 seconds and
press PTT again to continue speaking.
If you press the PTT button to transmit
and a busy tone is received instead of a
TPT, this means the channel is either
not available, busy or there are no users
reachable within transmission range.
Talk Permit Tone (TPT)
TPT is a quick distinctive double beep tone that
sounds after the user presses the PTT button,
indicating the channel is free to talk. TPT is
useful in ensuring orderly communications by
preventing radios from transmitting over
ongoing conversations.
Always wait to hear the TPT before starting to
speak to ensure your words are not cut off.
