Ni-Cad Batteries; Low-Battery Alert - Motorola Spirit MU22CV User Manual

SPIRIT M-SERIES 2-WAY RADIOS

2.5 Ni-Cad Batteries

Since the Ni-Cad battery ships uncharged, it must be fully charged for 16 hours
before use (for the first charge only). We recommend using only Motorola
batteries and chargers with the radio.
The Ni-Cad rechargeable battery pack will provide approximately 8 hours of
operation for a 2-watt radio and 10 hours of operation for a 1-watt radio with
normal use (5% sending messages, 5% receiving messages, and 90% in standby
mode).

2.6 Low-Battery Alert

When the battery is low, the radio will beep:
• 3 to 4 seconds after turning power on,
• every 10 minutes in standby mode, and
• after release of the push-to-talk button.
Recharge the battery pack immediately to avoid interrupted use.
Remove the battery pack before storing your radio for extended periods.
Batteries may corrode over time if left in the radio and can cause
permanent damage to your radio.
