BATTERY INFORMATION

Battery Care and Tips
This product is powered by a lithium-ion rechargeable battery.
The following battery tips will help you obtain the highest performance and longest cycle life from your Motorola rechargeable battery.
failure of the battery.
Charging a hot battery (above 35°C) results in reduced discharge capacity, affecting the performance of the radio. Motorola rapid­rate battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that the battery is charged within these temperature limits.
New batteries can be stored up to two years without significant cycle loss. Store new/unused batteries in a cool dry area.
Charge your new battery overnight (14-16 hrs) before using it to obtain maximum battery capacity and performance.
Charging in non-Motorola equipment may
GETTING STARTED
lead to battery damage and void the battery warranty.
When charging a battery that is attached to the radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.
The battery should be at about 25°C (room temperature) whenever possible. Charging a cold battery (below 10°C) may result in leakage of electrolyte and ultimately, in
14
Batteries which have been in storage should be charged overnight.
Do not return fully charged batteries to the charger for an “extra boost”. This action will significantly reduce cycle life.
Do not leave your radio and battery in the charger when not charging. Continuous charging will shorten battery life. (Do not use your charger as a radio stand.)
For optimum battery life and operation use only Motorola brand chargers. They were designed to operate as an integrated energy system.
Recycling or Disposal of Batteries
Motorola endorses and encourages the recycling of all re-chargeable batteries. Contact your local Motorola dealer for further information.
Charging the Battery
If a battery is new, or its charge level is very low, you will need to charge the battery before you can use it in your radio.
The P icon flashes when the battery is flat and the hardware error tone will sound. This icon will only appear when a genuine Motorola battery is used.
Note: Batteries are shipped uncharged from the
factory. New batteries could prematurely indicate full charge, charge a new battery for 14-16 hrs before initial use.

Do not use IP54 batteries with IP67 radio.
Note: IP67 water submersible radios MUST be
fitted with Motorola authorized IP67 batteries to ensure proper functionality.
Warning: When charging a IP67 battery, make sure
GETTING STARTED
that the IP67 battery (or IP67 battery with IP67 radio) is not wet prior to placing in the charger.
Warning: The battery charger is not waterproof. For
your safety and proper operation of the charger, IP67 radios MUST be dry prior to placing in the battery charger for charging. Do NOT operate the charger, when your hands are wet or while holding a wet IP67 radio. Do NOT touch the battery contacts, when your hands are wet. Do NOT put the battery into water, as this may cause the IP67 metal contacts to corrode.

STUN/UNSTUN

For added security and to avoid abuse of the radio system in which you operate, a feature known as Stun/Unstun is included in your radio.
This feature can only be activated by your system manager or administrator.
For example, if your radio is stolen and is being used illegally, your system administrator can send a signal which will stun the radio making it incapable of being used. This feature is also useful if the system is being abused by a user who is not complying with the correct communications protocol.
The radio can only be unstunned, i.e. returned to operational use, by an unstun signal sent from the system administrator or returning the radio for reprogramming.
