Battery life depends on the network, signal
strength, temperature, features, and
accessories you use.
•
Always use Motorola
Original batteries and
chargers. The warranty does
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 temperature.
•
When storing your battery, keep it
uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place.
•
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.
