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-authorised 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

Power Supply, Adaptors and Drop-in Tray
Charger
Your radio comes with one Drop-in Tray
Charger, one Power Supply (also known as
"transformer") and a set of adaptors.
Your power supply, has a "switchable"
capability which allows to suit any of the
adaptors that comes with your radio package.
The adaptor you should choose to install
depends on the region you're located.
Once you have identified the adaptor that
matches your electrical outlet, proceed to
install it as follows:
• Slide down the adaptor grooves into the power
supply until it snaps into place.
• Slide the adaptor upward to remove.
Note: The adaptor shown in the pictures are just
for illustration purposes. The adaptor you
should install may be different.

Charging with the Drop-in Tray Single Unit
Charger
1. Place the drop-in tray charger on a flat surface.
2. Insert the connector of the power supply into
the port on the side of the drop-in tray charger.
3. Plug the AC adaptor into a power outlet.
4. Insert the radio into the tray with the front of the
radio facing the front of the charger, as shown.
Note: When charging a battery attached to a radio,
turn the radio OFF to ensure a full charge.
See “Operational Safety Guidelines” on
page 5 for more information.
Charging a Standard Battery
The drop-in tray charger has a removable
bracket that is adjustable depending on the
type of battery that needs to be charged. It is
designed to charge either the battery (with the
radio) or a standalone battery. The drop-in tray
charger comes by default set up to charge a
standard battery. The following image on page

carefully and lift the bracket from the charger
tray.
2. Rotate the removable bracket 180 degrees and
replace it by fitting it in the charger slot until it
clicks. The label on the removable bracket
should show "High & Ultra Capacity Battery"
facing front of the charger.
3. Repeat same procedure to return position back
to charging a Standard Battery. Label on the
removable bracket should show "Standard

GETTING STARTED
GETTING STARTED
For the following explanation refer to “Parts of
the radio” on page 6.
TURNING RADIO ON/OFF
Turn the ON/OFF/Volume Knob clockwise to
turn ON the radio. The radio chirps and the
LED briefly blinks red.
To turn the radio OFF rotate the ON/OFF/
Volume Knob counterclockwise until you hear
a "click" and the radio LED indicator turns OFF.
ADJUSTING VOLUME
Turn the ON/OFF/Volume Knob clockwise to
increase the volume, or counterclockwise to
decrease the volume.
Note: Do not hold the radio too close to your ear
when adjusting the volume or if it is at a high
volume setting.
READING THE DISPLAY
Notes:
• The radio display shown here is for icon location
only. Each radio display may appear different
(channel and code) based on the pre-
programmed radio defaults and features
available in the model or region. Pressing any
button, except the PTT button, will turn on the
backlight.
• Repeater/Talk Around capability is not available

GETTING STARTED
SELECTING A CHANNEL
Your radio offers different number of
conventional channels. To select a channel,
press the /buttons until you reach
the desired channel.
Program each channel separately. Each
channel has its own Frequency, Interference
Eliminator Code and Scan Settings.
TALKING AND MONITORING
It is important to monitor for traffic before
transmitting to ensure that you do not "talk
over" someone who is already transmitting
To monitor, press and hold the SB1(*) button to
access channel traffic. If no activity is present,
you will hear "static". Press the SB1 button
again to release.
Once channel traffic has cleared, proceed with
your call by pressing the PTT button.
When transmitting, the radio LED will be solid
red.
Note: In order to listen to all activity on a current
channel, short press the SB1 in order to set
the CTCSS/DPL code to 0. This feature is
called "CTCSS/DPL Defeat (Squelch set to
SILENT)".
(*) This assumes SB1 is not being programmed for
a different mode.
RECEIVING A CALL
1. Select a channel by rotating the ON/OFF/
Volume Knob and press the /buttons
until you reach the desired channel.
2. Make sure the PTT button is released and
listen for voice activity.
3. The LED indicator blinks RED while your radio
is receiving.
4. To respond, hold the radio vertically 1 to 2
inches (2.5 to 5cm) from your mouth. Press the
PTT button to talk; release it to listen.
Note: Please notice that when the radio is receiving
or transmitting, the LED is always red.

17 English
GETTING STARTED
To establish proper two-way radio
communication, the channel, frequency, and
interference eliminator codes must be the
same on both radios. This will depend on the
stored profile that has been preprogrammed
on the radio:
1. Channel: Current channel that the radio is
using, depending upon radio model.
2. Frequency: The frequency your radio uses to
transmit/receive.
3. Interference Eliminator Code: These codes
help minimize interference by providing you
with a choice of code combinations.
4. Scramble Code: Codes that make your
transmissions sound garbled to anyone
listening who is not set to that specific code.
5. Bandwidth: Some frequencies have selectable
channel spacing, which must match other
radios for optimum audio quality.
For details of how to set up frequencies and
CTCSS/DPL codes in your channels, “Entering
Programming Mode” on page 20.
