Audio Signal Tones
High pitched tone
Low pitched tone
High pitched tones generally are positive
indicators used for example to inform you of
incoming calls, starting a feature and good status
(e.g. radio power up OK).
Low pitched tones generally are negative
indicators used for example to inform you of time
restrictions, stopping a feature and bad status (e.g.
error conditions).
Audio Indicators for Programmable Buttons
Some programmable buttons function as toggles,
alternating between two different choices. These
buttons use audio tones to indicate the change.

BATTERY INFORMATION
Battery Care and Tips
This product is powered by lithium-ion rechargeable
battery.
The following battery tips will help you obtain the
highest performance and longest cycle life from your
Motorola rechargeable battery.
•Charge your new battery overnight (14-16 hrs)
before using it to obtain maximum battery
capacity and performance.
•Charging in non-Motorola equipment may lead
to battery damage and void the battery warranty.
•When charging a battery that is attached to the
radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.
•The battery should be at about 25°C/77°F (room
temperature) whenever possible. Charging a
cold battery (below 10°C/50° F) may result in
leakage of electrolyte and ultimately, in failure of
the battery.
•Charging a hot battery (above 35°C/95°F)
results in reduced discharge capacity, affecting
the performance of the radio. Motorola rapid-rate
battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing
circuit to ensure that the battery is charged
within these temperature limits.
•New batteries can be stored up to two years
without significant cycle loss. Store new/unused
batteries in cool dry area.
•Batteries which have been in storage should be
charged overnight.
•Do not return fully charged batteries to the
charger for an “extra boost”. This action will
significantly reduce battery life.
•Do not leave your radio and battery in the
charger when not charging. Continuous charging
will shorten battery life. (Do not use your charger
as a radio stand.)
•For optimum battery life and operation use only
Motorola brand chargers. They were designed to
operate as an integrated energy system.

Recycling or Disposal of Batteries
Motorola endorses and encourages the
recycling of all re-chargeable batteries.

Charging the Battery
If a battery is new, or its charge level is very low, you
will need to charge the battery before you can use it in
your radio.

factory. New batteries could prematurely
indicate full charge, charge a new battery for
14-16 hrs before initial use.
1. Place the radio with the battery attached, or the
battery alone, in the charger.
2. The charger’s LED indicates the charging
progress.
Battery chargers will charge only the Motorola
authorized batteries listed below; other batteries will
not charge.
