Battery Use & Safety
Important: Handle and store batteries properly to avoid injury or damage.
Most battery issues arise from improper handling of batteries, and particularly from the continued use of damaged batteries.
DON’Ts
•Don’t disassemble, crush, puncture, shred, or otherwise attempt to change the form of your battery.
•Don’t let the mobile device or battery come in contact with water.* Water can get into the mobile device’s circuits, leading to corrosion. If the mobile device and/or battery get wet, have them checked by your service provider or contact Motorola, even if they appear to be working properly.*
•Don’t allow the battery to touch metal objects. If metal objects, such as jewelry, stay in prolonged contact with the battery contact points, the battery could become very hot.
•Don’t place your mobile device or battery near a heat source.* Excessive heat can damage the mobile device or the battery. High temperatures can cause the battery to swell, leak, or malfunction. Therefore:
•Don’t dry a wet or damp battery with an appliance or heat source, such as a hair dryer or microwave oven.
DOs
•Do avoid leaving your mobile device in your car in high temperatures.*
•Do avoid dropping the battery or mobile device.* Dropping these items, especially on a hard surface, can potentially cause damage.*
•Do contact your service provider or Motorola if your mobile device or battery has been damaged from dropping or high temperatures.
* Note: Always make sure that the battery compartment is closed and secure to avoid direct exposure of the battery to any of these conditions.
Important: Use Motorola Original products for quality assurance and safeguards. To aid consumers in identifying authentic Motorola batteries from non-original or counterfeit batteries (that may not have adequate safety protection),

Motorola provides holograms on its batteries. Consumers should confirm that any battery they purchase has a “Motorola Original” hologram.
Motorola recommends you always use Motorola-branded batteries and
chargers. Motorola mobile devices are designed to work with Motorola 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 has a “Motorola Original” hologram;
•If there is no hologram, the battery is not a Motorola battery;
•If there is a hologram, replace the battery and try charging it again;
•If the message remains, contact a Motorola authorized service center. Important: Motorola’s warranty does not cover damage to the mobile device caused by non-Motorola batteries and/or chargers.
Warning: Use of a non-Motorola battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
Proper and safe battery disposal and recycling: Proper battery disposal is not only important for safety, it benefits the environment. Consumers may recycle their used batteries in many retail or service provider locations. Additional information on proper disposal and recycling may be found on the Web:
•www.motorola.com/recycling
•www.rbrc.org/call2recycle/ (in English only)
Disposal: Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local 
regulations. Contact your local recycling center or national recycling 032375o organizations for more information on how to dispose of batteries.
Warning: Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may explode.
Battery Charging
Notes for charging your product’s battery:
•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.

Discontinue use and consult a physician if any of the following symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movements, or disorientation. It is always a good idea to hold the screen away from your eyes, leave the lights on in the room, take a 15-minute break every hour, and stop use if you are tired.
Caution About High Volume Usage
Warning: Exposure to loud noise from any source for extended periods of time may affect your hearing. The louder the volume sound level, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. To protect your hearing:
•Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high volume.
•Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
•Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
If you experience hearing discomfort, including the sensation of pressure or fullness in your ears, ringing in your ears, or muffled speech, you should stop listening to the device through your headset or headphones and have your hearing checked.
For more information about hearing, see our Web site at direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/nss/AcousticSafety.asp (in English only).
Repetitive Motion
When you repetitively perform actions such as pressing keys or entering finger-written characters, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. If you continue to have discomfort during or after such use, stop use and see a physician.
