===Variants{{anchor|Motorola Tough Talker}}=== The DynaTAC 8 Series, Classic, Classic II, Ultra Classic, and Ultra Classic II had an [[LED display]], with red [[LED]]s; the DynaTAC International Series with green LEDs, and the DynaTAC 6000XL used a [[vacuum fluorescent display]]. These displays were severely limited in what information they could show. The battery allowed for a call of up to 60 minutes, after which it was necessary to charge the phone up to 10 hours in a [[Trickle charging|trickle charger]] or one hour in a fast charger, which was a separate accessory.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://motoinfo.motorola.com/motoinfo/20th_anniversary/photos.asp?year=2|title=20th Anniversary of the World's First Commercial Cellular Phone|publisher=Motorola|access-date=2007-06-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070219035845/http://motoinfo.motorola.com/motoinfo/20th_anniversary/photos.asp?year=2|archive-date=2007-02-19|url-status=dead}}</ref> While still retaining the DynaTAC name, the 6000XL was completely unrelated to the DynaTAC 8000 Series, in that it was a transportable phone meant for installation in a vehicle. The 6000XL was later reconfigured as the Motorola Tough Talker, with a ruggedized build intended for construction sites, emergency workers, and special events planners.<ref>{{cite journal | last=Scott | first=Matthew | date=August 1988 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1l4EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA39 | title=Have Portable, Will Travel in the Cellular Phone Market | journal=Black Enterprise | publisher=Earl G.
