BATTERY INFORMATION
Battery Status
You can check your radioÕs battery status by
either pressing the programmed Battery Gauge
button (battery status is shown by the LED
indicator) or by looking at the P icon.
NOTE: If the Battery Gauge indicators (LED and
display) does NOT appear, this indicates that the
battery may not be a genuine Motorola product.
Charging your Battery
When the battery level is very low, you need to
recharge the battery before you can continue to
use your radio.
1. Place the radio with the battery attached or the
battery alone in the charger.
2. The chargerÕs LED would indicate the charging
progress.
NOTE: Because new batteries or batteries that
have not been used for several months could
prematurely indicate full charge (solid green
LED), charge the batteries for 14 to 16 hours
prior to initial use to achieve optimal perfor-
mance.
