Battery Information
7
The MTX•LS radio receives its power from a rechargeable nickel-
cadmium (NiCd) battery as listed in the accessories section. These
batteries are a safe, dependable power source for your radio. Proper
care of the battery will ensure its effectiveness and allow for peak
radio performance.
Recharging Nickel-Cadmium Batteries
Recharge the battery before use to ensure optimum capacity and
performance. The battery was designed specifically to be used with
a Motorola charger. Charging in non-Motorola equipment may
lead to battery damage and void the battery warranty.
NOTE: Note: When charging a battery that is
attached to the radio, turn the radio off
to ensure a full charge.
Charging Temperature
The battery should be at room temperature (about 77
°
) whenever
possible. Charging a cold battery (below 50
°
F) may result in leak-
age of electrolyte and ultimately, in failure of the battery. Charging
a hot battery (above 95
°
F) results in reduced discharge capacity, af-
fecting the performance of the radio. MTX•LS rapid-rate battery
chargers contain a temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that the
battery is charged within these temperature limits.
Do not attempt to change or charge the
battery in a hazardous atmosphere. See
Safety Standards section of this manual.
