OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Multi-Unit charger will charge only the Motorola
authorized batteries listed in Table 1. Other batteries may not
charge.
The battery charger’s pocket will accommodate either a radio
with a battery attached or a battery alone. Prior to charging
a battery with radio, turn the radio off.
To charge a battery, use the following procedure:
1. Plug the transformer into the right side of the Multi-Unit
Charger.
2. Attach the line cord to the transformer and plug into a
wall socket. The charger LED will flash green once to
indicate a successful power up.
Note: Even though new batteries might prematurely indicate
a full charge (steady green LED), charge the battery for
14 to 16 hours prior to initial use for best performance.
Batteries will charge best at room temperature.
3. Insert a battery or radio (with battery attached and the
radio turned off) into the charger pocket by:
a. Aligning the grooves on each side of the battery with
the corresponding raised rail on each side of the
charger pocket.

b. Pressing the battery toward the rear of the pocket.
c. Sliding the battery into the charger pocket, ensuring
complete contact between the charger and battery
contacts.
4. When the battery or radio (with battery attached) is
properly seated in the charger pocket, the charger LED
lights a steady RED, indicating that the battery is
charging rapidly. When the battery is 90% charged, the
charger LED flashes GREEN, indicating that the battery
is being “topped-off.” When the LED lights a steady
GREEN, it indicates the battery is fully charged.
5. Remove the battery or radio (with battery attached) once
charging is complete. The typical charge time of a fully
discharged battery is approximately 1.5 to 3 hours
depending on the battery chemistry and capacity.
