SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
Charging precautions: When charging your battery,
keep it near room temperature. Never expose
batteries to temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above
45°C (113°F) when charging. Always take your mobile
device with you when you leave your vehicle
Battery Use & Battery Safety
• Motorola recommends you always use
Motorola-branded batteries and chargers. The warranty
does not cover damage caused by non-Motorola
batteries and/or chargers. Caution: Use of an
unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard. Improper battery
use, or use of a damaged battery, may result in a fire,
explosion, or other hazard.
• When storing your battery, keep it in a cool, dry place.
• Battery usage by children should be supervised.
• Important: Motorola mobile devices are designed
to work best with qualified batteries. If you see a
message on your display such as
Invalid Battery or Unable
to Charge,
take the following steps:
• Remove the battery and inspect it to confirm that it
bears a Motorola “Original Equipment” hologram;
• If there is no hologram, the battery is not a qualified
battery;
• If there is a hologram, replace the battery and retry
charging it;
• If the message remains, contact a Motorola Authorized
Service Center.
• New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may
take more time to charge.
• It is normal over time for battery life to decrease, and
for the battery to exhibit shorter runtime between
charges or require more frequent or longer
charging times.
• Avoid damage to battery and mobile device. Do not
disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture,
shred, or submerge the battery or mobile device. Avoid
dropping the battery or mobile device, especially on a
hard surface. If your battery or mobile device has
been subjected to such damage, take it to a Motorola
Authorized Service Center before using. Do not
attempt to dry it with an appliance or heat source, such
as a hair dryer or microwave oven.
• Use care when handling a charged
battery—particularly when placing it inside a pocket,
purse, or other container with metal objects. Contact
with metal objects (e.g., jewelry, keys, beaded chains)
could complete an electrical circuit (short circuit),
causing the battery to become very hot, which could
cause damage or injury.
Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
Contact your local recycling center for proper battery disposal.
Warning: Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may explode.
