Introduction: Battery

Text Area

This area displays menus, messages, unit names or IDs, and other information.

Display Options

Two display options appear at the bottom of most screens. You select a display option by pressing the below it.

Menu Key

Many features provide context-sensitive menus that let you access related features and actions. the

icon appears any time a context-sensitive menu is available. Press to access the menu.

Menus and Lists

Your radio’s features are arranged in menus, submenus, and lists. To access the items in a menu or list, scroll using either the or keys.

Battery

WARNING: To avoid a possible explosion: DO NOT replace the battery in any area labeled “hazardous atmosphere.” DO NOT discard batteries in a fire.

Battery Life

Your radio uses a rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery.

Based on 5% transmit, 5% receive, 90% standby (standard duty cycle):

NNTN4655 Li-Ion; Up to 19 Hours

SNN5706 Li-Ion; Up to 14.5 Hours

Battery life is determined by several factors. Among the more critical are the regular 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.

WARNING: Care should be taken to avoid external short circuiting of the battery. A sustained high-rate discharge (for example, a paper clip placed accidentally across the battery contacts) may permanently damage the battery, void the battery warranty, and create a burn or fire hazard.

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.

WARNING: Do not attempt to change or charge the battery in a hazardous atmosphere.

To charge the battery, place the battery (with or without the radio) in a Motorola-approved charger.

Charging a Radio and Battery using a Multi-Unit Charger

A Multi-Unit Charger (MUC) is available separately (RPN4040) which will charge up to 6 radios, batteries, or a combination of the two at the same time.

When charging a radio in the MUC, the battery icon on the radio display shows the charging status.

When charging a battery, the LED in front of the pocket indicates charging status. The LED is solid red when the battery is charging, and solid green when charging is complete.

Battery Meter

The battery meter in the upper right corner of the radio display shows how much battery power is remaining:

Introduction: Mini Keyboard

Entering Text with the Mini Keyboard

If you have attached the mini keyboard correctly and the keyboard bezel is installed on the keyboard base you can begin.

Here are some important points to remember when using the mini keyboard.

Your radio accepts a maximum of 512 characters in its largest input fields.

Some of your radio's functions cannot be used simultaneously, just as when you are using your radios without the mini keyboard.

Letters and functions shown in white are the default keys.

All letters are lower case by default. For example, pressing the "Q" key displays "q."

The Bspc key works as a Back Space key when entering a message.

The Space key works as a Space Bar.

Yellow/Lock Key Functionality

1.Press the Yellow key once. The next key pressed displays the yellow character on that key. The keyboard will then return to the default keys (as if the yellow key had not been pressed).

For example, press the Yellow key followed by the "Q" key, and a "1" displays. If "Q" is pressed again, a "q" displays.

2.Press the Yellow key twice to lock the keyboard in the yellow mode. All subsequent key presses display the yellow character associated with the key pressed. The keys that do not have yellow functions (Left Option, Right Option, Bspc, Space) will still operate in the default (white) mode.

3.Press the Yellow key again to unlock the yellow mode and revert back to the default (white) mode.

4.Press the Green key to cancel the yellow mode and enter the green mode.

5.Press the CAPS key to cancel the yellow mode and enter the CAPS mode.

Green/Lock Key Functionality

1.Press the Green key once. The next key pressed displays the Green character on that key. The keyboard will then return to the default keys (as if the green key had not been pressed).

For example, press the Green key followed by the "U" key, and a "{" displays. If "U" is pressed again, a "u" displays.

2.Press the Green key twice to lock the keyboard in the green mode. All subsequent key presses display the Green character or function associated with the key pressed. The keys that do not have green functions still operate in the default (white) mode.

3.Press the Green key again to unlock the green mode and revert back to the default (white) mode.

4.Press the Yellow key to cancel the green mode and enter the yellow mode.

5.Press the CAPS key to cancel the green mode and enter the CAPS mode.

CAPS Key Functionality

1.Press the CAPS key once. The next key pressed displays the capitalized character on that key. Subsequent keys pressed will be displayed lower case.

2.Press the CAPS key twice to lock the keyboard in the caps mode. All subsequent key presses display the capitalized character associated with the key pressed.

3.Press the CAPS key again to unlock the caps mode and revert back to the lower case mode.

4.Press the Yellow or Green key to unlock the caps mode and enter the yellow or green mode, respectively.
