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,

SAFETY INFORMATION

• the battery, and

• the radio using the battery.

1. To reduce risk of injury, charge only the

rechargeable Motorola-authorised batteries.

Other batteries may explode, causing personal

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

English

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.

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.

English

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, 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.
