1-6 Introduction: Charging the Radio
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.
WARNING: Do not attempt to change or charge the battery in a hazardous atmosphere.
To charge the battery, place the battery (with or without the radio) in a Motorola-approved charger.
Charging the Radio
While the radio is charging, the display lights and the battery status icon flashes to show the status.
The battery will charge in approximately 1-3 hours, and battery gauge will show all segments and
stop flashing when fully charged.
