Preparing Your Radio for Use
This section provides simple instructions to prepare your radio for use.
Charging the Battery
Warning: To avoid a possible explosion:
• Do not replace the battery in any area labeled hazardous atmosphere.
• Do not discard batteries in a fire.
The Motorola-approved battery shipped with your radio is uncharged. Prior to using a new battery, charge it for a minimum of 16 hours to ensure optimum capacity and performance. For a list of
Motorola-authorized batteries and chargers available for use with your radio, see
191.
Note: When charging a battery attached to a radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.
To charge the battery, place the battery (with or without the radio) in a Motorola-approved charger.
The LED on the charger indicates the charging progress; see the charger user guide.
Attaching the Battery
If your radio is preprogrammed with volatile-key retention, the encryption keys are retained for approximately 30 seconds after battery removal.
Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.
You can view the status of the IMPRES

battery if the radio is using an IMPRES battery. See
