Battery Use and Maintenance

• The Motorola iDEN Approved Lithium Ion

chargers provide optimum performance. Other
chargers may not fully charge the iDEN Lithium
Ion battery or may yield a reduced number of
lifetime charge cycles.

• Extreme temperatures degrade ba ttery
performance. Do not store the battery where
temperatures exceed 140°F (60°C) or fall below
4°F (-20°C).

• Lithium Ion batteries ha ve a self discharge rate
and without use, lose about 1% of their charge
per day.

• The battery capacity is degraded if the battery is
stored for long periods while fully charged. If
long term storage is required, store at half
capacity.

Sleep mode. With Sleep mode, after your phone
has been i dl e for a speci f ie d i nte rv al, t he di sp la y on

Sleep mode turns off when you either press a key
or receive a call alert or phone call.

Holster

life. The holster contains a magnet that acti vates
Sleep mo de on your phone.
