To avoid damage and comply with warranty terms, charge the battery using a Motorola charger exactly as described in the charger user guide.Charge a new battery 14 to 16 hours before initial use for best performance.IMPORTANT:ALWAYS charge your IMPRES battery with the IMPRES charger. Using a conventional charger causes irrecoverable loss of IMPRES battery data. As a result, the battery functions as a non-IMPRES battery and cannot display the data on your radio. Additionally, it voids your IMPRES battery warranty, although the standard battery warranty still applies.Attaching the BatteryAlign the battery with the rails on the back of the radio. Press the battery firmly, and slide upward until the latch snaps into place. Slide battery latch into lock position.To remove the battery, turn the radio off. Move the battery latch into unlock position and hold, and slide the battery down and off the rails.Battery Latch

Make sure you turn off the radio and remove the universal connector cover first.Attaching the Belt ClipAlign the grooves on the clip with those on the battery and press downward until you hear a click.To remove the clip, press the belt clip tab away from the battery using a key. Then slide the clip upward and away from the radio.Attaching the Universal Connector CoverThe universal connector is located on the antenna side of the radio. It is used to connect MOTOTRBO accessories to the radio.Place the universal connector cover loop over the attached antenna. Slide it all the way down to the base of the antenna. Insert the hooked end of the cover into the slots above the universal connector. Press downward on the cover to seat the lower tab properly into the RF connector. Turn the thumbscrew clockwise to secure the connector cover to the radio.To remove the universal connector cover, press down on the cover and turn the thumbscrew counterclockwise. Lift the cover up, slide the connector cover loop upwards, and remove it from the attached antenna.If antenna needs to be replaced, ensure that only MOTOTRBO antennas are used. Neglecting this will damage your radio. See Antennas on page 52 for a list of available antennas.!C a u t i o nUniversalConnectorCover
