Charging the Battery
You can charge a battery separately or attached to a radio.
Charging a battery attached to a radio must be done with the radio turned off. The battery charges
faster when the radio is turned off.
IMPORTANT:
Use only Motorola Solutions approved-chargers which provide optimal performance. Using
other chargers may fail to fully charge, or reduce the life of the battery.
Do not charge the battery in a hazardous area.
Do not connect a radio without a battery to the charger.
Procedure:
1
Connect the charger to an appropriate power source, according to the specification of the
charger.
NOTICE:
The charger must be connected to a power outlet that is nearby and easily
accessed.
2
Perform one of the following actions:
• Desktop chargers – insert the battery or the radio with the battery attached into the
appropriate socket of the charger. Ensure that the battery/radio made good connection with
the charger and that the LED on the charger is indicating that charging is in progress.
• Travel chargers and car chargers – connect the charger to the radio with the battery
attached. Ensure that the charger is firmly connected to the radio and that the radio display is
indicating that charging is in progress.
NOTICE:
If a multi-unit charger LED indicates an error (blinking red light) when radio is inserted
and being charged, re-insert the radio. If the light is still red after several reconnections to
MUC, the battery may be damaged or reached its end of life.
Postrequisites:
The battery may heat up during charging. After charging, make sure that the battery
and the radio are within the operating temperature range before using the radio.
2.2.5
Battery Charging Indications

Battery Charge Progress icon and charging progress expressed in percentage.
