The Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) Battery DLR Series comes with a Standard Capacity Li-Ion battery. Other batteries may be available. For more information, see “Battery Features” on page 12. RADIO OVERVIEW DLR Series Radio Specifications The radio’s model is shown on the back of the radio and provides the following information: Table 1: DLR Series Radio Specifications Model Frequency Band Transmit Power (Watts) Number of Channels Antenna DLR1020 ISM 900 MHz Non-removable DLR1060 ISM 900 MHz Non-removable 11 English BATTERY FEATURES RADIO OVERVIEW DLR Series radios provide standard Lithium-Ion batteries. English Note: Batteries with different capacities and operational life may be available in future. About the Li-Ion Battery The DLR Series radio comes equipped with a rechargeable Li-Ion battery. This battery should be fully charged before initial use to ensure optimum capacity and performance. Battery life is determined by several factors. Among the more critical are the regular overcharge of batteries and the average depth of discharge with each cycle. Typically, the greater the overcharge and the deeper the average discharge, the fewer cycles a battery will last. For example, a battery which is overcharged and discharged 100% several times a day, lasts fewer cycles than a battery that receives less of an overcharge and is discharged to 50% per day. Further, a battery 12 which receives minimal overcharging and averages only 25% discharge, lasts even longer. Motorola batteries are designed specifically to be used with a Motorola charger and vice versa. Charging in non-Motorola equipment may lead to battery damage and void the battery warranty. The battery should be at about 77°F (25°C) (room temperature), whenever possible. Charging a cold battery (below 50° F [10°C]) may result in leakage of electrolyte and ultimately in failure of the battery. Charging a hot battery (above 95°F [35°C]) results in reduced discharge capacity, affecting the performance of the radio. Motorola rapid-rate battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that batteries are charged within the temperature limits stated above. Battery Recycling and Disposal Many retailers and dealers participate in this program. For the location of the drop-off facility closest to you, access RBRC's Internet web site at: www.rbrc.com or call: 1-800-8-BATTERY This internet site and telephone number also provides other useful information concerning recycling options for consumers, businesses and governmental agencies. 13 RADIO OVERVIEW Li-Ion rechargeable batteries can be recycled. However, recycling facilities may not be available in all areas. Under various U.S. state laws and the laws of several other countries, batteries must be recycled and cannot be disposed of in landfills or incinerators. Contact your local waste management agency for specific requirements and information in your area. Motorola fully endorses and encourages the recycling of Li-Ion batteries. In the U.S. and Canada, Motorola participates in the nationwide Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC) program for Li-Ion battery collection and recycling.

It can be due to different causes such as the Top Button is disabled or the radio could not store the radio ID you wanted to reply to (this is 61 English SPECIAL RADIO CALL FEATURES if the Top Button was pressed outside the 4 seconds Group Hang Time). 5. What happens if I want to Private Reply to a person that just finished talking?

I pressed the Top Button to queue to talk privately to the last person transmitting, but when the user finished talking and I push the PTT button to talk, the radio gave me a busy tone or other strange tones and I could not initiate my conversation. When you press the radio Top button while User B is talking, your radio “captures” the ID of radio B. Once user B finished talking and you press the PTT button, your radio calls radio B privately. It is very likely there are other users who were waiting as well to talk to the last person transmitting and someone else pressed the PTT button before you, giving you a busy or error tone. Another reason is that the last person transmitting has gone out of tranmission range. 7. 9. 6. How exactly does Private Reply work?

If you are the user who initiated the Private Reply or Direct Call, you can end the call by English long pressing the Top Button.

There is no time restriction on how long you can take to press the PTT button to talk privately to user A, as long as your Top Button LED indicator is blinking. – Does the radio gives me any alert to know that I am in still in the private queue mode? Yes. While waiting in queue to talk privately, you will receive a call reminder tone after 1 minute of being in queue, followed by another reminder tone 4 minutes after that. No other reminder will be heard afterwards, but you will remain in queue until Private Reply mode is exited. – How do I respond to group conversation if I have already pushed the Top Button (for either Private Reply or Direct Call) and my Top button LED indicator is blinking? 10. What happens if I am in queue to talk privately (LED indicator blinking orange), then the person that was transmitting finished talking and I press the PTT button to talk but the Top Button LED indicator does not change to solid orange? The radio lets you know you are ready for a private communication by turning the Top Button LED indicator to solid orange and playing the voice prompt “private” in the beginning. During the private conversation it also plays a distinctive Talk Permit Tone. All these different prompts from the radio need to happen to ensure there is a private communication established.
