Installing the Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery
Your radio is powered by an NiMH
battery, which provides up to 15 hours*
of usage. Before you install the battery,
mark the date in the "INSTALL DATE"
section with a permanent marker. As in
vehicles, all rechargable batteries lose
capacity over time.
1. Push and hold down the ribbed
latch on the bottom of the radio
toward the contacts, then slide and
lift the battery door off.
2. With the Motorola logo side up, and
the charge contacts facing the
bottom of the radio, insert the top of
the battery into the radio.
3. Push the battery up and into the
battery compartment to fit tightly
into place.
4. Slide and snap the battery door into
place.
*Based upon 5% transmit/ 5% receive/
90% standby (standard duty cycle).

Charging the XSeries Radio
Charge the NiMH battery for 16 hours before using
it for the first time. It will only need up to eight hours
of charging thereafter.
1. Make sure the radio is off.
2. Lift the accessory cover and plug the 53874
charger (NNTN4077) into the lower jack.
3. Plug the charger into a power outlet. The light
on the charger glows during charging.
Note: For optimum battery life, do not charge the
battery for prolonged periods after it is fully
charged. Charging the battery over the
weekend is acceptable.
If the radio is on while charging, additional
time is required to charge the battery.
Use only the charger supplied with the
radio, or other XSeries power
accessories. See “Battery and Charging
Options” on page 22.
