the release tab and remove the travel charger.
Note:
Upon insertion of the charger plug into the handset,
the handset will respond with an indication that the battery
is charging (Battery Icon Flashing and/or Battery Indication
Tone). If the battery has been deeply discharged or stored
in a discharged state for an extended period of time, there
may be a delay of up to 10 seconds before the Battery Icon

Battery Tips
Battery life depends on the network, signal strength,
temperature, features, and accessories you use.
•
Always use Motorola Original batteries
and chargers. The warrantydoes not
cover damage caused by non-Motorola
batteries and/or chargers.
•
New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may
take more time to charge.
•
When charging your battery, keep it near room
Getting Started

•
When storing your battery, keep it uncharged in a
cool, dark, dry place, such as a refrigerator.
•
Never 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.
•
It is normal for batteries to gradually wear down and
require longer charging times. If you notice a change
in your battery life, it is probably time to purchase a
new battery.
Contact your local recycling center for proper
battery disposal.
Warning:
