Getting Started
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 
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 
long periods of 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.
•
Over extended periods of time, 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 
product must be disposed of properly and may 
need to be recycled. Refer to your battery’s label 
for battery type. Contact your local recycling center for 
proper disposal methods. Never dispose of batteries in a 
fire because they may explode.
