		BATTERY FEATURES
		DLR Series radios provide standard
	OVERVIEW	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
RADIO	be fully charged before initial use to ensure
	Among the more critical are the regular
	optimum capacity and performance.
	Battery life is determined by several factors.
	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
		12
English

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.

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.

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.
