Note: The communication system determines the radio transmit and receive time (operating cycle time).
During overload, or beyond the systems specifications at high ambient temperatures, the thermal control
cuts down the RF power output, which reduces the radio coverage range.
Before Power On
Read this section before you power on your radio for the first time.
Attaching the Antenna
Procedure:
1Insert the screw-in base of the antenna into the antenna terminal on the top of the radio.
2Turn clockwise until snug.

Charging the Battery
Depending on a charger type, you can charge a battery alone or/and a battery attached to a radio.
Charging a battery attached to a radio can be done with the radio either turned on or off. Charging with the radio
turned off is recommended since this is more efficient (the battery charges faster).
Important: Motorola approved chargers provide optimum performance. Other chargers may not fully
charge your Motorola Lithium-Ion battery or may reduce the life of the battery.
Prerequisites:
Do not charge the battery in a hazardous area.
Procedure:
1Connect the charger to an appropriate power source (100–240 V, 12 V), according to the specification of the
charger.
2Perform one of the following actions:
• Desktop chargers – insert the battery or the radio with the battery attached into the appropriate socket of the
charger. Ensure that the battery/radio made good connection with the charger and that the LED on the charger
is indicating that charging is in progress
• Travel chargers and car chargers – connect the charger to the radio with the battery attached. Ensure that the
charger is firmly connected to the radio and that the radio display is indicating that charging is in progress.
Post requisites: The battery may heat up during charging. After charging, make sure that the battery and the radio are
within the operating temperature range before using the radio.

Low Battery Indication
The radio indicates low battery level by playing an audible alert when the battery charge falls to a preset level. The
low battery alert can be programmed by your service provider to 5, 10, or 20 per cent of remaining capacity. The
default setting is 5 per cent. The service provider also configures how frequently the alert repeats.
