You can charge your phone battery by connecting a
cable from your phone's mini-USB port to a USB
port on a computer. Both your phone and the
computer must be turned on, and your computer
must have the correct software drivers installed. Cables and
software drivers are available in Motorola Original data kits,
sold separately.
If your phone battery is completely drained, a PC USB
charger will not charge it. Use the travel charger.
battery tips
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.
