Getting Started
Battery Use
Battery performance depends on many factors,
including your wireless carrier’s network configuration;
signal strength; the temperature at which you operate
your phone; the features and/or settings you select and
use; and your voice, data, and other application usage
patterns.
If not used, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over
time. This is normal.
Caution:
To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal
objects to contact or short-circuit the battery terminals.
To maximize your battery’s performance:
•
Always use Motorola Original™ batteries and
chargers. The phone warranty does not cover
damage caused from using non-Motorola batteries
and chargers.
•
New batteries or batteries that have been stored for
long periods of time may require a longer charge time.
•
Maintain the battery at or near room temperature
when charging.
•
Do not expose to temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or
above 45°C (113°F). Always take your phone with you
when you leave your vehicle.
•
When you do not intend to use a battery for a while,
store it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry location, such
as a refrigerator.
•
Over extended periods, batteries gradually wear down
and require longer charging times. This is normal. If
