Preparing Your Radio for Use
This section provides simple instructions to prepare
your radio for use.
Charging the Battery
Warning:
To avoid a possible explosion:
•
Do not replace the battery in any area
labeled hazardous atmosphere.
•
Do not discard batteries in a fire.
The Motorola-approved battery shipped with your
radio is uncharged. Prior to using a new battery,
charge it for a minimum of 16 hours to ensure
optimum capacity and performance. For a list of
Motorola-authorized batteries and chargers available
for use with your radio, see
90.
Note:
When charging a battery attached to a radio,
turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.
To charge the battery, place the battery (with or
without the radio) in a Motorola-approved charger.
The LED on the charger indicates the charging
progress; see the charger user guide.
Attaching the Battery
If your radio is preprogrammed with volatile-key
retention, the encryption keys are retained for
approximately 30 seconds after battery removal.
Check with your dealer or system administrator for
more information.
1 Slide the battery into the radio frame until the side
latches click into place.
