Charging the Battery

You can charge a battery separately or attached to a radio.
Charging a battery attached to a radio must be done with the radio turned off. The battery charges
faster when the radio is turned off.
IMPORTANT: Use only Motorola approved chargers which provide optimal performance. Using
other chargers invalidates the warranty and may fail to fully charge, reducing the life of the
battery.
Always charge your IMPRES battery with an IMPRES charger for optimized battery life.
IMPRES batteries charged exclusively with IMPRES chargers receive a 6-month capacity
warranty extension over the standard Motorola Premium battery warranty duration.
Prerequisites:
Do not charge the battery in a hazardous area.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect a radio without a battery to the charger.
Procedure:
1 Connect the charger to an appropriate power source (100–240 V, 12 V), according to the
specification of the charger.
2 Insert the battery or the radio with the battery attached into the appropriate socket. The LED on
the charger indicates that the charging is in progress.
NOTICE: If a multi-unit charger LED indicates an error (blinking red light) when radio is
inserted and being charged with the multi-unit charger (MUC), re-insert the radio. If the
light is still red after several reconnections to MUC, the battery may be damaged or
reached its end of life.
Postrequisites: The battery may heat up during charging. After charging, make sure that the battery
and the radio are within the operating temperature range before using the radio.
