effectiveness and allow for peak radio performance. 

Recharging Nickel-Cadmium Batteries

Recharge the battery before use to ensure

optimum capacity and performance. The battery was
designed specifically to be used with a Motorola MTX
Series charger. Charging in non-Motorola equipment
may lead to battery damage and void the battery
warranty.

Note: When charging a battery that is attached
to the radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full
charge.

Charging Temperature

The battery should be at about 77°F (room

temperature) whenever possible. Charging a cold
batter y (below 50° F) may result in leakage of
electrolyte and ultimately, in failure of the battery.
Charging a hot battery (above 95°F) results in

performance of the radio. MTX Series rapid-rate
battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing
circuit to ensure that the battery is charged within
these temperature limits. 

Short Circuit

Care should be taken to avoid external short

circuiting of the battery.
