WARNING:
To avoid a possible explosion: DO NOT replace the battery in any area labeled
“hazardous atmosphere.” DO NOT discard batteries in a fire.
Battery Life
Your radio uses a rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li Ion) battery.
Based on 5% transmit, 5% receive, 90% standby (standard duty cycle):
• Li Ion – 12 Hours
Battery life is determined by several factors. Among the more critical are the regular overcharge of
batteries and the average depth of discharge with each cycle. Typically, the greater the overcharge
and the deeper the average discharge, the fewer cycles a battery will last.
For example, a battery which is overcharged and discharged 100% several times a day, lasts fewer
cycles than a battery that receives less of an overcharge and is discharged to 50% per day. Further,
a battery which receives minimal overcharging and averages only 25% discharge, lasts even longer.
WARNING:
Care should be taken to avoid external short circuiting of the battery. A
sustained high-rate discharge (for example, a paper clip placed accidentally
across the battery contacts) may permanently damage the battery, void the
battery warranty, and create a burn or fire hazard.

Introduction: Standard Accessories
Motorola batteries are designed specifically to be used with a Motorola charger and vice versa.
Charging in non-Motorola equipment may lead to battery damage and void the battery warranty. The
battery should be at about 77°F (25°C) (room temperature), whenever possible. Charging a cold
battery (below 50° F [10°C]) may result in leakage of electrolyte and ultimately in failure of the
battery.
Charging a hot battery (above 95°F [35°C]) results in reduced discharge capacity, affecting the
performance of the radio. Motorola rapid-rate battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing circuit
to ensure that batteries are charged within the temperature limits stated above.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to change or charge the battery in a hazardous atmosphere.
To charge the battery, place the battery (with or without the radio) in a Motorola-approved charger.
The charger’s LED indicates the charging progress; see your charger user guide for details.
Charging the Battery
To charge the battery:
1. Place the charger on a flat surface.
2. Insert the plug of the power cord into the jack on the charger.
3. Plug the cord into an AC outlet.
4. Turn the radio off. If the radio is on while charging, it will take longer to fully charge.
5. Insert the radio (with battery installed) into the front charging pocket.
The radio will fit in the charger with the holster on.
The drop-in charger will also sequentially charge a spare Li Ion battery.
The spare battery will not begin to charge until the radio battery is fully charged. Both batteries will
charge in approximately 2-3 hours.2–6 hours.
Charging Status LEDs
On the drop-in charger, the radio and battery charging pockets have their own LEDs. On the MUC,
each of the 6 charging pockets has an LED. The LEDs are grouped into pairs to show which
charging pockets are paired (for cloning, see page 32).
The LED is solid red when the battery is charging, and solid green when charging is complete.
Battery Meter
The battery meter in the upper left corner of the display (see page 20) shows how much battery power is
remaining:
