RADIO OVERVIEW
BATTERY INFORMATION
Charging Your Battery
This radio is powered by a nickel-metal hydride
(NiMH) rechargeable battery. Charge the
battery before use to ensure optimum capacity
and performance. The battery was designed
specifically to be used with a Motorola charger.
Charging in non-Motorola equipment may lead
to battery damage and void the battery
warranty.
Note: When charging a battery attached to a
radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full
charge.
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.
If a battery is new, or its charge level is very
low, you will need to charge it before you can
use it.
Note: Batteries are shipped uncharged from
the factory. Always charge a new
battery 14 to 16 hours before initial
use.

SCAN
SCAN
Your radio is equipped with the Scan feature,
allows you to monitor multiple channels and
receive calls that are transmitted on them.
•TheGindicator appears on the LDC
screen while in scan mode.
Two types of scan are supported:
• Normal Scan – searches all channels
sequentially in the radio’s scan list.
• Priority Scan – allocates 50% of the scan-
ning time to the Priority Channel (the first
channel in the designated scan list).
During scan, when activity is detected that
meets the unsquelch condition, the radio stops
scanning and switches to that channel; the
Gindicator and the channel number are
displayed. When no activity is detected for a
pre-set time, the radio resumes scanning.
If your radio has switched to a non-priority
channel during Priority Scan, it still checks for
activity on the priority channel. If activity is
detected there, the radio switches to the
priority channel.
The radio transmits on the Prime Channel, if
the PTT button is pressed during scanning. If
the radio has stopped scanning, and has
changed to a particular channel, all transmit
and receive activity is performed on that
channel.
