Basic Operations
This chapter explains the operations to get you started on
using the radio.
Charging the Battery
Your radio is powered by a Nickel Metal-Hydride (NiMH) or
Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) battery.
• To comply with warranty terms and avoid damages,
charge the battery using a Motorola Solutions
charger exactly as described in the charger user
guide.
All chargers can charge only Motorola Solutions
authorized batteries. Other batteries may not charge.
•
Charge a new battery 14 to 16 hours before initial
use for best performance.
Motorola Solutions recommends that your radio
remains powered off while charging. Batteries
charge best at room temperature.
• Charge your IMPRES
™
battery with an IMPRES
charger for optimized battery life and valuable
battery data. IMPRES batteries charged exclusively
with IMPRES chargers receive a 6-month capacity
warranty extension over the standard Motorola
Solutions Premium battery warranty duration.
Attaching the Battery

This battery mismatch alert feature is only applicable for
