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, and
•The radio using the battery
1. To reduce risk of injury, charge only the
rechargeable Motorola-authorized batteries.
Other batteries may explode, causing personal
injury and damage.
2. Use of accessories not recommended by
Motorola may result in risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury.
3. To reduce risk of damage to the electric plug
and cord, pull by the plug rather than the cord
when disconnecting the charger.
4. An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of an improper
extension cord could result in risk of fire and
electric shock. If an extension cord must be
used, make sure that the cord size is 18AWG
for lengths up to 6.5 feet (2.0 m), and 16AWG
for lengths up to 9.8 feet (3.0 m).
5. To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, do
not operate the charger if it has been broken or
damaged in any way. Take it to a qualified
Motorola service representative.
6. 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.
7. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the
charger from the AC outlet before attempting
any maintenance or cleaning

more information, see “Battery Features” on
page 14.

BATTERY FEATURES
RM Series radios provide Lithium-Ion
batteries that come in different capacities
that will define the battery life.
About the Li-Ion Battery
The RM Series radio comes equipped with a
rechargeable Li-Ion battery. This battery
should be charged before initial use to ensure
optimum capacity and performance.
Battery life is determined by several factors.
Among the more critical are the regular
overcharge of batteries and the average depth
of discharge with each cycle. Typically, the
greater the overcharge and the deeper the
average discharge, the fewer cycles a battery
will last. For example, a battery which is
overcharged and discharged 100% several
times a day, lasts fewer cycles than a battery
that receives less of an overcharge and is
discharged to 50% per day. Further, a battery
which receives minimal overcharging and
averages only 25% discharge, lasts even
longer.
Motorola batteries are designed specifically to
be used with a Motorola charger and vice
versa. Charging in non-Motorola equipment
may lead to battery damage and void the
battery warranty. 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.

Battery Recycling and Disposal
Li-Ion rechargeable batteries can be recycled.
However, recycling facilities may not be
available in all areas. Under various U.S. state
laws and the laws of several other countries,
batteries must be recycled and cannot be
disposed of in landfills or incinerators. Contact
your local waste management agency for
specific requirements and information in your
area. Motorola fully endorses and encourages
the recycling of Li-Ion batteries. In the U.S. and
Canada, Motorola participates in the
nationwide Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation (RBRC) program for Li-Ion battery
collection and recycling.
Many retailers and dealers participate in this
program. For the location of the drop-off facility
closest to you, access RBRC's Internet web
site at:
www.rbrc.com
or call:
1-800-8-BATTERY
This internet site and telephone number also
provides other useful information concerning
recycling options for consumers, businesses
and governmental agencies.
