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

• Lithium Ion batteries have 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.

To optimize your phone's performance, extend the antenna when you make or receive a call, and avoid touching the antenna with any body part.
