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; items attached to your phone’s accessory connector; and 
your voice, data, and other application usage patterns.
Caution: To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal objects to 
contact or short-circuit the battery terminals.
To maximise your battery’s performance:
• Always use Motorola Original batteries and battery chargers. 
The phone warranty does not cover damage caused from 
using non-Motorola batteries and/or battery chargers.
• New batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long 
time may require a longer charge time.
• Maintain the battery at or near room temperature when charging.
• Do not expose batteries 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 place, such as a refrigerator.
• Batteries gradually wear down and require longer charging 
times. This is normal. If you charge your battery regularly and 
notice a decrease in talk time or an increase in charging time, 
then it is probably time to purchase a new battery.
The rechargeable batteries that power this phone must be 
disposed of properly and may need to be recycled. Refer to 
your battery’s label for battery type. Contact your local 
recycling centre for proper disposal methods.
Warning: Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may 
explode.
