I was given a Motorola UHF MTS2000 I (450-520MHz). Now what?

My uncle used to work for an airlines mostly loading luggage and prepping planes. He gave me his Motorola mts2000 that he used on the job.

I don’t know if this thing works. the battery is dated 2007 and hasn’t been charged in years, probably bad. I don’t have a charger either. Can I program it if I had the correct cables and software or does one need to be a vendor and own a $10k license to be able to program it?

Step 1, does it work? Is it worth buying a new battery and charger to find out?

Step 2, programming. I don’t know where to begin.
