ASTRO XTS 4000 87Helpful TipsRadio Care• The XTS 4000 radio casting has two vent ports that allow for pressure equalization in the radio. Never poke these vents with any objects, such as needles, tweezers, or screwdrivers. This could create leak paths into the radio and the radio’s submergibility will be lost.•(For XTS 4000 R Radios Only) Elastomer technology materials used for seals in rugged portable radios can age with time and environmental exposure. Therefore, Motorola recommends that rugged radios be checked annually as a preventive measure in order to assure the watertight integrity of the radio. Motorola details the disassembly, test, and reassembly procedures along with necessary test equipment needed to inspect, maintain and troubleshoot radio seals in the radio’s service manual.• If the radio battery contact area has been submerged in water, dry and clean the radio battery contacts before attaching a battery to the radio. Otherwise, the water could short-circuit the radio.• If the radio has been submerged in water, shake the radio well so that any water that may be trapped inside the speaker grille and microphone port can be removed. Otherwise, the water will decrease the audio quality of the radio.• Do not disassemble the radio. This could damage radio seals and result in leak paths into the radio. Any radio maintenance should be performed only by a qualified radio technician.!!XTS4000.book.fm Page 87 Monday, October 2, 2006 5:29 PM
88Helpful TipsCleaningTo clean the external surfaces of your radio:1Combine one teaspoon of mild dishwashing detergent to one gallon of water (0.5% solution).2Apply 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.3Clean battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to remove dirt or grease.Do not use solvents to clean your radio. Spirits may permanently damage the radio housing.Do not submerge the radio in the detergent solution.!XTS4000.book.fm Page 88 Monday, October 2, 2006 5:29 PM
ASTRO XTS 4000 89Helpful TipsHandling• Do not pound, drop, or throw the radio unnecessarily. Never carry the radio by the antenna.• Avoid subjecting the radio to an excess of liquids. Do not submerge the radio unless it is a ruggedized, XTS 4000 R model.• 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.ServiceProper repair and maintenance procedures will assure efficient operation and long life for this product.

90Helpful TipsBatteryBattery LifeBattery 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 discharged 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 BatteryMotorola 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 93.The battery should be at about 77°F (25°C) (room temperature), whenever possible. Charging a cold battery (below 50° F [10°C]) may result in leakage of electrolyte and ultimately in failure of the battery. Charging a hot battery (above 95°F [35°C]) results in reduced discharge capacity, affecting the performance of the radio. Motorola rapid-rate battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that batteries are charged within the temperature limits stated above.Battery Charge StatusYour radio can indicate your battery’s charge status through:• vibrations and sounds• fuel gauge symbol on the displayXTS4000.book.fm Page 90 Monday, October 2, 2006 5:29 PM
ASTRO XTS 4000 91Helpful TipsLED and SoundsWhen your battery is low: • if vibration is turned on, your radio will vibrate when battery is low.• you hear a low-battery “chirp” (short, high-pitched tone)Fuel Gauge SymbolThe radio indicates the current battery charge level through a fuel gauge symbol. Refer to the table below for more information. Battery Recycling and DisposalLithium Ion (Li-Ion) 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, Li-Ion 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 Li-Ion batteries. In the U.S. and Canada, Motorola participates in the nationwide Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC) program for Li-Ion 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.
