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.

English
Recycling or Disposal of Batteries
At the end of its useful life, the NiCd battery can
be recycled. However, recycling facilitiesmaynot
be available in all areas.
Motorolaendorsesand encourages the recycling
of all re-chargeable batteries. Contact you rlocal
Motorola dealer for furtherinformation.
GETTING STARTED
Charging the Battery
If a battery is new, or its chargelev elis very low,
indicated by high pitched warning tones ,you will
need to charge the battery beforeyoucan use it
in your radio.
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.

PERSONALITY
The personalities described below are
programmed into your radio by yourdealer and
are accessible via the personality button.
A radio personality contains data such as
frequencies, alert tones, permitted calls etc.
which determines the operation of your radio.
Your radio may be programmed with up to 2
different personalities, selected from MPT,
Talkgroup Select and Conventional.
MPT
This personality permits the radio to operate in
a trunked mode. Incoming and outgoing calls
are set up using a defined set of rules or
protocol between your radio and a controller in
a similarmanner to your home telephone. Your
radio ‘registers’ onto an MPT trunked system
as described in GETTING STARTED - Radio
Registration.
PERSONALITY
21
English
Talkgroup
Talkgroup is an MPT personality following the
same rules or protocol, but is primarily for
talkgroup calls. In talkgroup personality,
talkgroups are contained in a Talkgroup list,
similar to the Contact list, which is scrolled and
selected using the Rotary Knob (1).
PERSONALITY
On selection of a talkgroup, you may send and
receive calls as described below.
Fixed and Dynamic Groups
These groups form part of the Talkgroup
Personality, such that when this personality is
selected your talkgroup list shows only these
groups.
A fixed group is a group of users, the address
(number/alias) of which is preprogrammed into
your radio by your dealer.
A dynamic group is a group of users, the
address (number)of which is sent toyour radio
‘overair’ at any time via the system controller.
Therefore at any time you maybecome a
member of a dynamic group, able to receive
calls and (depending on how your radio is
programmed) send calls to that group.
Incoming calls to fix ed and dynamic group
numbersare detailed in Receiving a Call.
To make an outgoing call to a selected
talkgroup, press the PTT and speak after the
confidence tone.
Calls are clearedin the normal manner.
If the system is busy an engaged tone will be
heard, release the PTT and wait for the
confidence tone. You may then proceed with
thecallbypressingthePTT.

English
Portable Radio Operation and EME Exposure
When transmitting with a portable
radio,hold the radio in a vertical
position with its microphone2.5 to 5
centimeters (1 to 2 inches) awa y from your mouth.
SAFETY
Keep antenna at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from
your head and body.
If you wear a portable two-way radio on yourbody,
ensure that the antenna is at least 2.5 centimeters
(1 inch) from your body when transmitting.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or
compatibility conflicts,turn off your radioin any
facility where posted notices instruct youto do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when
on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in
accordance with airline regulations or crew
instructions.

Vehicles With an Air Bag
Donotplaceaportableradiointheareaoveranair
bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags
inflate with great force. If a portable radio is placed
in the air bag deployment area and the air bag
inflates, the radio may be propelledwith great force
and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
W A R N I N G
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your two-way radio when you are in any
area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, unless it is a radio type especially
qualified foruse in such areas (for example, Factory
Mutual or CENELEC Approved). Sparks in a
potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an
explosionor fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
Batteries
Do not replace or recharge batteries in a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur
while installing or removing batteries and cause an
explosion.
English
28
Blasting Caps and Areas
Batteries
To avoid possible interference with blasting
operations, turn off your radio when you are near
electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in
areas posted: “Tur n off two-way radio.” Obey all
signs and instructions.
Note:
The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres
referred to above include fueling areas such as:
below decks on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities; areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal
powders; and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are
often but not always posted.
Operational Cautions
!
Damaged Antennas
Do not use any portable two-way radio that has a
damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes
into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.
C a u t i o n
All batteries can cause property damage and/or
bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material
such as jewellery, keys, or beaded chainstouch
exposed terminals. The conductive material may
complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and
become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any
charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a
pocket,purse, or other container with metal objects.
General Radio Care
• The use of chemicals such as
detergents, alcohol, aerosol
sprays, and/or petroleum
products may be harmful to and damage the
radio housing.
• Avoid physical abuse of the radio such as
carrying it by the antenna.
• The accessory connector (if fitted) has a
protectivecap which should be left in place when
the connector is not in use.
• Clean the radio exterior using a cloth moistened
with clean water and a mild dishwashing liquid.
• The use of non-approved radio accessories may
damage the radio and invalidate warranty.
