knob clockwise. To turn the radio off, turn the
On-Off/Volume Control knob counterclockwise until
you hear a click.

When the self test is complete the self test tone will
sound. The radio will then scan for system access with
the LED on the top of the radio flashing GREEN.
When a system is acquired, the green LED will go off.
Making a Call
Before you can make a call the radio must be in the
IDLE STATE, i.e. a personality has been selected and
no call is in progress.
The radio is capable of making a variety of calls,
including calls to individual radios, groups of radios
and calls to private and public telephone systems.
Please contact your dealer for further information.
Receiving a Call
There are two types of systems on which the radio
may be used, Off Air Call Set Up (OACSU) and Full Off
Air Call Set Up (FOACSU). If you are in doubt about
which system you are operating on, please consult
your dealer.
Receiving a call on an OACSU system -
When the radio is called tone D will sound and the
LED flashes. This will then be followed by tone B.
Receiving a call on an FOACSU system -
When the radio is called, a ringing tone will sound
and the LED flashes.
Press the PTT to accept the call. Tone D will sound
until a speech channel is allocated, then tone B
sounds.
Note:The system may have a limited call time and
the call may be terminated automatically if this
call time is exceeded.
Cancelling or Ending a Call
At any time while setting up a call it may be cancelled
by pressing the clear button. The call timer can also
cancel calls.
A call should always be ended by pressing the clear

BATTERY INFORMATION
Battery Care and Tips
This product is powered by a nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd),
nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH), or 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.

BASIC USER GUIDE
Recycling or Disposal of Batteries
At the end of its useful life, the NiCd battery
can be recycled. However, recycling
facilities may not be available in all areas.
Motorola endorses and encourages the recycling of all
re-chargeable batteries. Please contact your dealer for
further information.
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.
Note: Batteries are shipped uncharged from the
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.
