Exposure Compliance
CAUTION:
This radio is restricted to occupational use only to

Before using this product, read the Product Safety
and RF Exposure booklet enclosed with your radio
which contains important operating instructions for
safe usage and RF energy awareness and control
for compliance with applicable standards and
regulations.

Batteries and Chargers
Safety Information
This document contains important safety and operating
instructions. Read these instructions carefully and save
them for future reference. Before using the battery charger,
read all the instructions and cautionary markings on:
• the charger
• the battery
• the radio attached with battery
• To reduce risk of injury, charge only the rechargeable
Motorola Solutions-authorized batteries. Charging the
other batteries may cause explosion, personal injury,
and damage.
• Use of accessories not recommended by Motorola
Solutions may result in fire, electric shock, or injury.
• To reduce damage to the electric plug and cord, pull by
plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the
charger.
• An extension cord should not be used unless
necessary. Use of an improper extension cord may
result in fire and electric shock. If an extension cord
must be used, make sure that the cord size is 18 AWG
for lengths up to 100 ft (30.48 m), and 16 AWG for
lengths up to 150 ft (45.72 m).
• Do not operate the charger if it has been broken or
damaged in any way. Take it to any qualified Motorola
Solutions service representatives.
• Do not disassemble the charger; it is not repairable and
replacement parts are not available. Disassembly of the
charger may result in risk of electrical shock or fire.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from
the AC outlet before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning.
Operational Safety Guidelines
• Turn off the radio while charging.
• The charger is not suitable for outdoor use. Use only in
dry locations/conditions.
• Connect charger to an appropriately fused and wired
supply of the correct voltage (as specified on the
product only).
• Disconnect charger from line voltage by removing main
plug.
English
6

• Connect the equipment to an outlet which is easy to
access and near.
• For equipment using fuses, replacements must comply
with the type and rating specified in the equipment
instructions.
• Maximum ambient temperature around the power
supply equipment must not exceed 40 °C (104 °F).
• Power output from the power supply unit must not
exceed the ratings stated on the product label located at
the bottom of the charger.
• Make sure the cord is not stepped on, tripped over,
subjected to water, damage, or stress.

Acoustic Safety
CAUTION:
Exposure to loud noises from any source for
extended periods of time may temporarily or
permanently affect your hearing. The louder the
radio volume, the less time is required before your
hearing can be affected. Hearing damage from loud
noises is sometimes undetectable at first and can
have a cumulative effect.
To protect your hearing:
• Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job.
• Increase the volume only if you are in noisy
surroundings.
• Reduce the volume before connecting headset or
earpiece.
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpieces
at high volume.
• When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do
not place the radio speaker directly against your ear.
• If you experience hearing discomfort, ringing in your
ears, or speeches that are muffled, you should stop
listening to your radio through your headset or earpiece,
and have your hearing checked by your doctor.

Battery Features
The radio comes with a rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-ion)
battery. For optimum capacity and performance, ensure
your battery is fully charged before first use.
3.1
Battery Specifications
Battery life is determined by several factors. The critical
ones are overcharging of batteries and the average depth
of discharge each cycle. Typically, the greater the
overcharge and the deeper the average discharge, the
fewer cycles a battery lasts. For example, a battery which is
overcharged and discharged 100 % for several times a
day, lasts fewer cycles than a battery that overcharges less
and is discharged to 50 % per day. Battery with minimal
overcharge and has an average of 25 % discharge, lasts
even longer.
Motorola Solutions batteries are designed specifically to be
used with a Motorola Solutions charger and vice versa.
Charging batteries with non-Motorola Solutions equipment
may lead to battery damage and void the battery warranty.
Whenever possible, maintain the battery temperature to 77
°F (25 °C) (room temperature). Charging a cold battery
(below 50 °F [10 °C]) may result in leakage of electrolyte
and ultimate failure of the battery. Charging a hot battery
(above 95 °F [35 °C]) results in reducing discharge capacity
and affecting the performance of the radio. Motorola
Solutions rapid-rate battery chargers contain a
temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that batteries are
charged within the temperature limits.
NOTICE:
Batteries with different capacities and operational
life may be available in the future.

Charging Method
This chapter describes the methods you use to charge your
radio.
4.1
Charging Stand-Alone Battery
1Align the raised tab on each side of the battery with
the corresponding groove on each side of the
charger pocket.
2Press the battery toward the rear of the pocket.
12
3Slide the battery into the charger pocket, ensuring
complete contact between the charger and battery
contacts.
When the battery is in the pocket, the charger
indicates the Battery Level status as shown in
Charger LED Indication on page 20 table. The red
LED blinks to indicate that the battery is charging
rapidly. The LED changes to a steady green light to
indicate that the battery is nearly or fully charged.
4.2
Charging with the Drop-In Tray
Single Unit Charger
The Single Unit Charger (SUC) is an optional accessory
device.
NOTICE:
Turn off the radio before charging, and fully charge
the battery before first use. It is best to charge at
room temperature.
1Place the SUC on a flat surface.
English
17

2Insert the connector of the power supply into the port
on the side of the SUC.
3Plug the AC adapter into a power outlet.
4Insert the radio into the SUC with the front of the
radio facing the LED of the SUC. Ensure the radio is
securely inserted all the way into the charger.
NOTICE:
For more information, see Charger LED
Indication on page 20 and Operational
Safety Guidelines on page 6.
The red LED on the SUC illuminates to indiciate that
the battery is charging.
4.3
Charging the Radio and the Battery
Using a DLR 12-Pocket Multi-Unit
Charger - Optional Accessory
The DLR 12-Pocket Multi-Unit Charger (MUC) allows drop-
in charging of up to 12 radios or up to six radios and six
stand-alone batteries. The batteries can be charged with
the radios or removed and placed in the MUC separately.
Each of the six charging pockets can hold a radio (with or
without the Holster) or battery, but not both at the same
time.
1Place the MUC on a flat surface.
2Insert the power cord plug into the MUC dual pin
connector at the bottom of the MUC.
3Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
4Turn off the radio.
5Insert the radio or the battery into the charging
pocket with the radio or the battery facing away from
the contacts.

NOTICE:
• The MUC clones up to two radios (two Source
radios and two Target radios). For more
information, refer to Cloning Mode in Multi-Unit
Charger on page 77.
• For more information on the MUC operation,
refer to the Instruction Sheets provided with the
MUC. For more information on the parts and
their part numbers, refer to Accessories on page
