Battery Information
The P110 radio receives its
power (7.5V DC) from a
rechargeable nickel-cadmium
battery as listed in the accesso-
ries section. These batteries,
designed specifically for use in
the P110 radio, are a safe,
dependable power source.
Proper care of the battery will
ensure its effectiveness and
allow for peak performance of
the radio.
Recharging Nickel-
Cadmium Batteries
Recharge the battery before use
to ensure optimum capacity and
performance. The battery was
designed to be used only with a
Motorola P110 charger. Charg-
ing in non-Motorola equipment
may lead to battery damage and
void the battery warranty.
NOTE
When charging a battery that is attached to a
radio, always turn the radio off to ensure a full
charge.
Charging Temperature
The battery should be about 77
°
(room
temperature) whenever possible. Charging
a cold battery (below 50
°
F) may result in
leakage of electrolyte, and ultimately, in
failure of the battery. Charging a hot bat-
tery (about 95
°
F) results in reduced dis-
charge capacity, affecting the performance
of the radio. P110 rapid rate battery charg-
ers contain a temperature sensing circuit
