beFore you begin
r To remove the battery, turn the radio off and remove
any protective cases. Slide the Battery Pack Latch on
the bottom of the radio toward the front panel while
sliding the battery down about 1/2 inch (1.5 cm). Then
lift the battery out from the radio.
Do not attempt to open any of the rechargeable
Lithium-Ion packs, as they could explode if ac-
cidentally short-circuited.
Battery Pack Installation and Removal
r Toinstallthebatterypack,alignthebatterypacktothe
radio with an offset about 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) from the
topedgeofbatterycompartment,thenslidethebattery
pack upward until it locks in place with a “Click.”
Battery Charging
rRemove the Spacer Plate from the nest of the optional
CD-58 Desktop Charger, if the Battery Spacer is in-
stalled.
rInsert the DC plug from the optional PA-55 AC
Adapter into the DC jack on the rear panel of the op-
tional CD-58 Desktop Charger, and then connect the
PA-55 AC Adapter to the AC line outlet.
rInsert the battery pack into the CD-58 Desktop Char-
ger while aligning the slots of the battery pack with the
guides in the nest of the CD-58; refer to the follow-
ing illustration for details on proper positioning of the
batterypack.Ifchargingwiththetransceiverattached,
turn the transceiver off. The antenna jack should be at

beFore you begin
the left side when viewing the charger from the front.
rIf the battery pack is inserted correctly, the LED in-
dicator will glow red. A fully-discharged battery pack
will charge completely in 1.5 - 4.5 hours (depending
on the battery pack being charged).
r When charging is completed, the LED indicator will
change to green.
rDisconnect the battery pack from the CD-58 Desktop
Charger and unplug the PA-55 AC Adapter from the
AC line outlet.
1) Always use the Motorola Solutions FNB-
V133LI-UNI, FNB-V134LI-UNI Lithium-Ion
Battery Pack, or FNB-V136-UNI Nickel-Metal Hydride
Battery Pack.
2) Use only the Motorola Solutions CD-58 Desktop
Charger with the PA-55 AC Adapter, or Motorola Solu-
tions approved Charger.
3) To reduce the risk of explosion, recharge the batteries
outside of hazardous locations.
4) Perform the battery charging where the ambient tem-
perature range +41 °F to +104 °F (+5 °C to +40 °C).
Charging outside of this temperature range could cause
damage to the battery pack.
5) Battery Pack should not be exposed to excessive heat
such as sunshine, re, or similar heat sources.
6) Risk of explosion exists if battery is replaced by an
incorrect type. Refer to the enclosed instructions for dis-
posal of used batteries.
7) When charging a Battery Pack alone (not attached to
the transceiver), do not allow any metal object to short
the terminals of the Battery Pack.
8) Do not allow any metal objects to short the terminals
in the nest of the CD-58 Desktop Charger, as a short-
circuit could cause overheating of the charger circuitry
and create an electrical hazard.
9) For further details and cautions of the charging, refer
to the Operating Manual of the CD-58 Desktop Charger.
Low Battery Indication
Asthebatterydischargesduringuse,thevoltagegradually
becomes lower. When the battery voltage becomes too
low,substituteafreshlychargedbatteryandrechargethe
depleted pack. The LED indicator on the top of the radio
will blink red when the battery voltage is low.
CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is replaced with an
incorrect battery. Replace only with the same or
equivalenttype.
