GP140 USER GUIDE
Recycling or Disposal of Batteries
At the end of its useful life, the NiCd battery
can be recycled. However, recycling
facilities may not be available in all areas.
Motorola endorses and encourages the recycling of all
re-chargeable batteries. Contact your dealer for further
information.
Battery Status
You can check your radio’s battery status by
pressing the programmed Battery Gauge button
(battery status is shown by the LED indicator).
NOTE: If the Battery Gauge indicator does NOT appear,
this indicates that the battery may not be a genuine
Motorola product.
Charging your Battery
When the battery level is very low, you need to
recharge the battery before you can continue to use
your radio.
1. Place the radio with the battery attached or the
battery alone in the charger.
2. 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 indi-
cate full charge (solid green LED), charge the batteries
for 14 to 16 hours prior to initial use to achieve optimal
performance.
