message on your display such as

Invalid Battery or

Unable to Charge, take the following steps:

䡲 Remove the battery and inspect it to confirm that

it bears a Motorola “Original Equipment” hologram;

䡲 If there is no hologram, the battery is not a

qualified battery;

䡲 If there is a hologram, replace the battery and

retry charging it;

䡲 If the message remains, contact a Motorola

Authorized Service Center.

䢇 New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may

take more time to charge.

䢇 Charging precautions: 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. Always take your mobile device with you when you leave your vehicle.

䢇 Avoid damage to battery and mobile device. Do not

disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred, or submerge the battery or mobile device. Avoid dropping the battery or mobile device, especially on a hard surface. If your battery or mobile device has been subjected to such damage, take it to a Motorola Authorized Service Center before using. Do

heat source, such as a hair dryer or microwave oven.

䢇 Use care when handling a charged battery, particularly
