GETTING STARTEDBATTERY INFORMATIONBattery Care and TipsThis product is powered by a nickel-cadmium(Ni-Cd), nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH), orlithium-ion rechargeable battery.The following battery tips will help you obtain thehighest performance and longest cycle life fromyour Motorola rechargeable battery.• Charge your new battery overnight (14-16 hrs)before using it to obtain maximum batterycapacity and performance.• Charging in non-Motorola equipment may leadto battery damage and void the battery warranty.• When charging a battery that is attached to theradio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.• The battery should be at about 25°C (roomtemperature) whenever possible. Charging acold battery (below 10°C) may result in leakageof electrolyte and ultimately, in failure of thebattery.• Charging a hot battery (above 35°C) results inreduced discharge capacity, affecting theperformance of the radio. Motorola rapid-ratebattery chargers contain a temperature-sensingcircuit to ensure that the battery is chargedwithin these temperature limits.• Newbatteriescanbestoreduptotwoyearswithout significant cycle loss. Store new/unusedbatteries in a cool dry area.• Batteries which have been in storage should becharged overnight.• Do not return fully charged batteries to thecharger for an “extra boost”. This action willsignificantly reduce cycle life.• Do not leave your radio and battery in thecharger when not charging. Continuous chargingwill shorten battery life. (Do not use your chargeras a radio stand.)• For optimum battery life and operation use onlyMotorola brand chargers. They were designed tooperate as an integrated energy system.GETTING STARTED13 English

GETTING STARTEDRecycling or Disposal of BatteriesAt the end of its useful life, the NiCd battery canbe recycled. However, recycling facilities may notbe available in all areas.Motorola endorses and encourages the recyclingof all re-chargeable batteries. Contact your localMotorola dealer for further information.Charging the BatteryIf a battery is new, or its charge level is very low,you will need to charge the battery before youcan use it in your radio.The P icon flashes when the battery is flatand the hardware error tone will sound. This iconwill only appear when a genuine Motorola batteryis used.Note: Batteries are shipped uncharged from thefactory. New batteries could prematurelyindicate full charge, charge a new battery for14-16 hrs before initial use.NiCdRedCharger LEDGreenFlashing Red *Flashing YellowStatusBattery is chargingBattery is fully chargedBattery is unchargeableCharger is getting ready to chargeFlashing Green Battery is 90% charged* Battery is damaged.

SAFETY INFORMATIONSafe and Efficient Operation of MotorolaTwo-Way RadiosThis section provides information and instructions forthe safe and efficient operation of Motorola Portableand Mobile Two-Way Radios.For information regarding radio use in hazardousareas, please refer to the Factory Mutual (FM)approval manual supplement or Instruction Cardwhich is included with radio models that offer thiscapability.Exposure To Radio Frequency EnergyNational and International Standards andGuidelinesYour Motorola Two-Way Radio, which generates andradiates radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy(EME) is designed to comply with the following Nationaland International Standards and Guidelines regardingexposure of human beings to radio frequencyelectromagnetic energy:• Federal Communications Commission Report andOrder No. FCC 96-326 (August 1996)• American National Standards Institute(C95.1 - 1992)• National Council on Radiation Protection andMeasurements (NCRP - 1986)• International Commission on Non-Ionizing RadiationProtection (ICNRP - 1986)• European Committee for ElectrotechnicalStandardisation (CENELEC):• ENV. 50166-11995 E• ENV. 50166-21995 E• Proceedings ofSC211/8 1996Human Exposure to ElectromagneticFields Low Frequency(0Hz to 10kHz)HumanExposuretoElectromagneticFields High Frequency(10kHz to 300GHz)Safety Considerations forHumanExposuretoE.M.F.sfrom Mobile TelecommunicationsEquipment (M.T.E.) inthe Frequency Range30MHz - 6 GHz (E.M.F. -Electromagnetic Fields)To assure optimal radio performance and thathuman exposure to radio frequency electromagneticenergy is within the guidelines set forth in the abovestandards, always adhere to the followingprocedures:SAFETY51 English

SAFETYPortable Radio Operation andEME ExposureWhen transmitting with a portableMAN WITH RAradio, hold the radio in a verticalposition with its microphone 2.5 to 5centimeters (1 to 2 inches) away from your mouth.Keep antenna at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) fromyour head and body.If you wear a portable two-way radio on your body,ensure that the antenna is at least 2.5 centimeters(1 inch) from your body when transmitting.Electromagnetic Interference/CompatibilityNote:Nearly every electronic device is susceptibleto electromagnetic interference (EMI) ifinadequately shielded, designed or otherwiseconfigured for electromagnetic compatibility.To avoid electromagnetic interference and/orcompatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in anyfacility where posted notices instruct you to do so.Hospitals or health care facilities may be usingequipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.When instructed to do so, turn off your radio whenon board an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be inaccordance with airline regulations or crewinstructions.Operational WarningsVehicles With an Air BagDonotplaceaportableradiointheareaoveranairbag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bagsinflate with great force. If a portable radio is placedin the air bag deployment area and the air baginflates, the radio may be propelled with great forceand cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.Potentially Explosive AtmospheresTurn off your two-way radio when you are in anyarea with a potentially explosiveatmosphere, unless it is a radio type especiallyqualified for use in such areas (for example, FactoryMutual or CENELEC Approved). Sparks in apotentially explosive atmosphere can cause anexplosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or evendeath.Batteries!W A R N I N GDo not replace or recharge batteries in a potentiallyexplosive atmosphere. Contact sparking may occurwhile installing or removing batteries and cause anexplosion.English52

Blasting Caps and AreasBatteriesTo avoid possible interference with blastingoperations, turn off your radio when you are nearelectrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or inareas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey allsigns and instructions.Note:The areas with potentially explosive atmospheresreferred to above include fueling areas such as:below decks on boats; fuel or chemical transfer orstorage facilities; areas where the air containschemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metalpowders; and any other area where you wouldnormally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres areoften but not always posted.Operational CautionsDamaged Antennas!C a u t i o nDo not use any portable two-way radio that has adamaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comesinto contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.All batteries can cause property damage and/orbodily injury such as burns if a conductive materialsuch as jewellery, keys, or beaded chains touchexposed terminals. The conductive material maycomplete an electrical circuit (short circuit) andbecome quite hot. Exercise care in handling anycharged battery, particularly when placing it inside apocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.General Radio Care• The use of chemicals such asdetergents, alcohol, aerosolsprays, and/or petroleum!C a u t i o nproducts may be harmful to and damage theradio housing.• Avoid physical abuse of the radio such ascarrying it by the antenna.• The accessory connector (if fitted) has aprotective cap which should be left in place whenthe connector is not in use.• Clean the radio exterior using a cloth moistenedwith clean water and a mild dishwashing liquid.• The use of non-approved radio accessories maydamage the radio and invalidate warranty.SAFETY53 English
