BATTERIES AND CHARGERS SAFETY INFORMATION

This document contains important safety and operating instructions. Read these instructions carefully and save them for future reference.
Before using the battery charger, read all the instructions and cautionary markings on
the charger,
the battery, and
the radio using the battery.
1. To reduce risk of injury, charge only the
rechargeable Motorola-authorized batteries.
Other batteries may explode, causing personal
SAFETY INFORMATION
BATTERIES AND CHARGERS
injury and damage.
2. Use of accessories not recommended by
Motorola may result in risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury.
3. To reduce risk of damage to the electric plug
and cord, pull by the plug rather than the cord
when disconnecting the charger.
4. An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of an improper
extension cord could result in risk of fire and
electric shock. If an extension cord must be
used, make sure that the cord size is 18AWG
for lengths up to 6.5 feet (2.0 m), and 16AWG
for lengths up to 9.8 feet (3.0 m).
5. To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, or injury,
do not operate the charger if it has been broken
or damaged in any way. Take it to a qualified
Motorola service representative.
6. Do not disassemble the charger; it is not
repairable and replacement parts are not
available. Disassembly of the charger may
result in risk of electrical shock or fire.
7. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the
charger from the AC outlet before attempting
any maintenance or cleaning

OPERATIONAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
Turn the radio OFF when charging battery.
The charger is not suitable for outdoor use. Use
only in dry locations/conditions.
Connect charger only to an appropriately fused
and wired supply of the correct voltage (as
specified on the product).
Disconnect charger from line voltage by
removing main plug.
The outlet to which this equipment is connected
should be nearby and easily accessible.
Maximum ambient temperature around the
power supply equipment must not exceed 40°C
(104°F).
Make sure the cord is located where it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or subjected to water,
damage, or stress.

BATTERIES AND CHARGERS

XTNi™ Series radios provide Lithium-Ion (Li­Ion) batteries that comes in different capacities that will define the battery life. It also offers the option to use Alkaline batteries.The radio comes equipped with a rapid charger.
BATTERY FEATURES AND CHARGING OPTIONS
About the Li-Ion Battery
The XTNi™ radio series come equipped with a rechargeable Li-Ion battery. This battery should be charged before initial use to ensure optimum capacity and performance.
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.
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,
CHARGERS
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 1-800-8­BATTERY. This internet site and telephone number also provides other useful information concerning recycling options for consumers, businesses and governmental agencies.
