Maintenance
NOTICE:
• Before using your radio for the first time, remove the plastic lens protector from the display,
and charge the battery until the LED lights green.
• Battery charging must occur only in non-hazardous areas.
• Clean the connector frequently and before the programming procedure for example, with a
soft brush (do not use fluids).
• Ensure that radio connectors are clean and free of any debris before attaching accessories
or a programming cable. Use a soft brush for cleaning contacts and do not use any
chemicals or fluids in the cleaning process.
D.1
Storage
• Do not store the radio in potentially acidic atmospheres. Storage in such conditions can harm the
original outlook of the radio.
•
• The battery should be stored in a well ventilated, temperature controlled (68°F to 86°F; +20°C to
+30°C) and humidity controlled (30% – 60%) environment. For additional storage, handling and
care tips, see leaflet MN001153A01.
• New Lithium-Ion batteries may be stored in ventilated, cool and dry areas with some capacity loss in
the life cycle.
• It is not recommended to store the batteries when they are fully charged or discharged.
D.2
Extending Battery Life
A battery is an expendable part and may need replacing during the life of the radio. To ensure
maximum service life of your radio, always replace the battery with a genuine Motorola replacement. In
order to ensure maximum life for your battery:
• Do not charge it unless necessary (low battery indication).
• Charge it until full charge indication is on.
D.3
Battery Charging Temperature
When the battery is fitted to the radio, it charges within the temperature range of 0 °C to 45 °C. When
the battery is charged separately (without the radio), the temperature range of battery operation is from
0 °C to +45 °C in charger mode, and from -10 °C to +50 °C in discharge mode.
If, during charging, the temperature is out of range, the battery might not be fully charged since the
charging is temporarily stopped until the temperature becomes suitable.
Your charger only charges your battery when it is at temperature range of 1 °C to 37 °C. As the
temperature gets colder (close to 0 °C) less capacity is stored in the battery.
