BATTERY INFORMATION Battery Care and Tips

This product is powered by a nick e l-cad mium(NiCd), nickel-metal-hydride(NiMH), or lithium-ion rechargeablebattery.

The following battery tipswill help youobtain the highest performance and longest cycle life from your Motorola rechargeable battery.

• Charge your new battery overnight(14-16 hrs) before using it to obtain maximum battery capacity and performance.

• Charging in non-Motorolaequipment may 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 (below10°C) may result in leakage of electrolyte and ultimately, in failureof the battery.

• Charging a hot battery (above 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 thatthe battery is charged within these temperature limits.

• Newbatteriescanbestoreduptotwoyears without significant cycle loss. Store new/unused batteries in a cool dry area.

• Batteries which have been in storage should be charged overnight.

• Do not return fully chargedbatteries to the charger for an “extra boost”. This action will significantly reduce cycle life.

• Do not leaveyour radio and battery in the chargerwhen not charging.Continuouscharging will shorten battery life.(Do not use your charger as a radiostand.)

• For optimum battery life and operation use only Motorolabrandchargers. Theywere designed to operate as an integrated energy system.
