1 Combine one teaspoon of mild dishwashing detergent to one gallon of water (0.5% solution). 2 Apply the solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, short-
bristled brush, making sure excess detergent does not get entrapped near the connectors, controls or crevices. Dry the radio thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth. 3 Clean battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to remove dirt or grease.
C a u t i o n Do not use solvents to clean your radio. Spirits may permanently damage the radio housing. Do not submerge the radio in the detergent solution. Handling Do not pound, drop, or throw the radio. Never carry the radio by the antenna. Avoid subjecting the radio to an excess of liquids. Avoid subjecting the radio to corrosives, solvents or spirits. Do not disassemble the radio. Keep the accessory-connector cover in place until ready to use the connector. Replace the cover immediately once the accessory has been disconnected. Service Proper repair and maintenance procedures will assure efficient operation and long life for this product.

For more information about ESP, contact the Motorola Radio Support Center, 2204 Galvin Drive, Elgin, IL 60123, 1-800-227-6772. Battery Battery Life Battery life is determined by several factors. Among the more critical are the regular overcharge of batteries and the average depth of discharge with each cycle. Typically, the greater the overcharge and the deeper the average discharge, the fewer cycles a battery will last. For example, a battery which is overcharged and discharges 100%
several times a day, will last fewer cycles than a battery that receives less of an overcharge and is discharged to 50% per day. Further, a battery which receives minimal overcharging and averages only 25%
discharge, will last even longer. Charging the Battery Motorola batteries are designed specifically to be used with a Motorola charger and vice-versa. Charging in non-Motorola equipment may lead to battery damage and void the battery warranty. Motorola-authorized battery chargers may not charge batteries other than the ones listed on page 71. The battery should be at about 77F (25C) (room temperature), whenever possible. Charging a cold battery (below 50 F [10C]) may result in leakage of electrolyte and ultimately in failure of the battery. Charging a hot battery (above 95F [35C]) results in reduced discharge capacity, affecting the performance of the radio. Motorola 66 Helpful Tips rapid-rate battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that batteries are charged within the temperature limits stated above. Battery Charge Status Your radio can indicate your batterys charge status by the following:
LED and Sounds you see the LED flash red when the PTT Button is pressed indicating low battery you hear a low-battery chirp (short, high-pitched tone) Conventional Fuel Gauge Symbol A flashing fuel gauge symbol (b) is displayed only when the battery voltage drops to low level. In this case, replace the battery with a fully charged one. Smart Fuel Gauge Symbol Note: Smart battery will be available at a future date. Consult the Smart Battery manual. All conditions must be met for a battery to be classified as a Smart Battery. When your radio has a Smart Battery installed, the fuel gauge symbol is always displayed. Gauge shows:
if the batterys charge is:
71% to 100% full b j k l 10% or less (at 10%, the gauge begins flashing) 41% to 70%
11% to 40%
Replace the battery with a fully charged one when the fuel gauge shows the lowest level. ASTRO XTS 2500 Model II 67 Helpful Tips Battery Recycling and Disposal Nickel-cadmium (NiCd) rechargeable batteries can be recycled. However, recycling facilities may not be available in all areas. Under various U.S. state laws and the laws of several other countries, NiCd batteries must be recycled and cannot be disposed of in landfills or incinerators. Contact your local waste management agency for specific requirements and information in your area. Motorola fully endorses and encourages the recycling of NiCd batteries. In the U.S. and Canada, Motorola participates in the nationwide Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC) program for NiCd battery collection and recycling. Many retailers and dealers participate in this program. For the location of the drop-off facility closest to you, access RBRC's Internet web site at www.rbrc.com or call 1-800-8-BATTERY. This internet site and telephone number also provide other useful information concerning recycling options for consumers, businesses, and governmental agencies. 68 Helpful Tips Antenna Radio Operating Frequencies Before installing the antenna, make sure it matches your radios operating frequency.
