Charging Instructions
MPORTANT:
The battery is shipped from the factory uncharged and
must be charged before use.
Your battery will need to be charged using the rapid charge method
before operating your Communicator for the first time. The rapid
charge method fully charges your battery in 60 minutes.
Your charger has the capability of charging both a battery inside
the Communicator (rapid charge method) and a spare battery
(slow charge method) simultaneously.
OTE:
Do not leave the Communicator or battery in the charger for
extended periods of time (1 week) so as to avoid a decrease
in overall battery performance.
Plug the round end of the transformer cord into the socket
located on the back of the charger.
Plug the transformer into the appropriate AC outlet.
Rapid Charge Method (battery inside Communicator)
Align the grooved rails of the Communicator with the guide
rails of the charger and insert the Communicator, with the
battery inside, into the charger pocket. Refer to Figure 4.
OTE:
Your Communicator can be left on to receive
communications while charging without causing harm to the
battery or battery charger. However, if the Communicator
remains on while charging, it will require at least 25% more
time for the battery to charge to full capacity.

•Privacy of communications may not be ensured when
using your Communicator. Your Motorola dealer may
enable encryption for sensitive communications.
•Your Communicator complies with Part 15 of the U.S.
FCC Rules and Industry Canada RSS-213. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Scope
This document provides information and instructions for the safe
and efficient operation of Motorola Portable Two-Way Radios.
The information provided in this document supersedes the
general safety information contained in user guides published
prior to 1st April 1999. For information regarding radio use in a
hazardous atmosphere please refer to the Factory Mututal (FM)
Approval Manual Supplement or Instruction Card which is
included with radio models that offer this capability.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
National and International Standards and Guidelines
Your Motorola Two-Way Radio, which generates and radiates
radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME), is designed
to comply with the following National and International Standards
and Guidelines regarding exposure of human beings to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy:

58
Important Safety Information
To assure optimal performance and that human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set forth
in the above standards, always adhere to the following
procedures:
Portable Communicator Operation and EME Exposure
•When placing or receiving a Phone Call, hold the
Communicator as you would a telephone. Speak directly
into the mouthpiece and position the antenna up and over
your shoulder.
•When using the Communicator as a
two-way radio, hold the device in a
vertical position with the microphone 1
to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0 centimeters)
away from your mouth. Keep the
antenna at least 1 inch (2.5
centimeters) from your head and body.
•For body-worn operation, the antenna
should be kept at least 1 inch (2.5
centimeters) from the body when
transmitting.
•DO NOT hold the antenna when the Communicator is “IN
USE.” Holding the antenna affects call quality and may
cause the Communicator to operate at a higher power level
than needed.
Electromagnetic Interference / Compatibility
OTE:
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded,
designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic
compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility
conflicts, turn off your Communicator in any facility where posted
notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may
be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
2.5 to 5.0 cm
(1 to 2 in.)

Important Safety Information
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained
between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research by,
and recommendations of, Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers should:
•ALWAYS keep the Communicator more than 6 inches
(15 centimeters) from their pacemaker when the radio is
turned on.
•NOT carry the Communicator in the breast pocket.
•Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference,
•Turn the Communicator OFF immediately if you have any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing
aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from RF energy. your physician may be able to assist you
in obtaining this information.

Important Safety Information
Operational Warnings
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your Communicator when you are in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a type especially
qualified for use in such areas (for example, Factory Mutual
Approved). Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
OTE:
The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred
to include fueling areas such as: below decks on boats; fuel
or chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal
powders; and any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with
potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always
posted.
Batteries
Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or
removing batteries and cause an explosion.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off
your Communicator when you are near electrical blasting caps, in
a blasting area, or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio”. Obey
all signs and instructions.

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such
as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded
chains touch exposed terminals. The conductive material may
complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot.
Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when
placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal
objects.
Communicator Care
•Avoid physical abuse of your Communicator such as
carrying it by the antenna or remote microphone.
•Wipe the battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to remove
dirt, grease, or other material which may prevent good
electrical connections.
•When not in use, keep the accessory jack covered with the
protective cap.
•Clean the Communicator exterior using a cloth moistened
with water.
AUTION:
Use of chemicals such as detergents, alcohol, aero-
sol spray, and/or petroleum products may be harmful
and damage the housing and cover.
Batteries and Chargers
MPORTANT:
The battery is shipped from the factory uncharged and
must be charged before use.
Charging Batteries
To ensure peak performance, batteries should be fully charged
before use and periodically thereafter. The battery lasts
approximately 40 hours when fully charged. Standard use has a
5-5-90 duty cycle. This means during normal use, the average

Important Safety Information
user transmits 5%, receives 5%, and remains in battery
conservation mode 90% of the time. If the unit is continuously
transmitting and receiving, battery life will be approximately 5
hours. A battery conversation time of up to 300 hours is
achievable between charging cycles.
Please observe the following precautions while handling and
charging batteries:
Charging Temperatures
Charging batteries in cold temperatures (below 45˚F)
can result in electrolyte leakage and may destroy the
battery. Charging in hot temperatures (above 95˚F)
will not damage the battery, but will reduce charge
capacity. Charge batteries at approximately 77˚F.
ARNING:
To reduce risk of injury, charge only Motorola NiMH
type rechargeable batteries listed. Other types of
batteries may burst, causing personal injury and
damage.
Recharging NiMH Batteries
Recharge the battery before use to ensure optimum capacity and
performance. Your battery was designed to be used only with a
Motorola charger, specifically designed for your Communicator.
Charging in non-Motorola equipment may lead to battery damage
and void the battery warranty.
MPORTANT:
While charging a battery that is inside your
Communicator, turn the device off to ensure a proper
charge.

Recycling / Disposal of Batteries
ARNING:
Batteries contain hazardous substances. do not
dispose of any batteries in a fire as they may
explode!
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies used
NiMH batteries as hazardous waste, unless certain exemptions
apply.
At the end of your battery’s useful life, it can be recycled. However,
recycling facilities may not be available in all areas. Under various
state or local laws, such batteries must be recycled or disposed of
properly, and cannot be dumped in landfills or incinerators.
Motorola fully endorses and encourages the recycling of NiMH
batteries. In the United States, you can ship your NiMH batteries
to the following address post paid to be recycled:
