• For optimum battery life and operation
use only Motorola brand chargers.
They were designed to operate as an
integrated energy system.
Charging your Battery
When the battery level is very low, you need to
recharge the battery before you can continue
to use your radio.
• Place the radio with the battery attached or
the battery alone in the charger.
• The charger’s LED would indicate the
charging progress.
NOTE: Because new batteries or batteries
that have not been used for several
months could prematurely indicate full
charge (solid green LED), charge the
batteries for 14 to 16 hours prior to ini-
tial use to achieve optimal perfor-
mance.
