information. It is stored in a recess in the battery
compartment.

Installing the Battery
You must install and charge the battery to use your phone.
Your phone is designed to use only Motorola
Original™ batteries and accessories. We
Getting Started

recommend that you store batteries in their protective
cases when not in use.
Action
1
Insert the battery into
the back of the
phone, with the
contacts on the top
end of the battery in
alignment with the
contacts on the
phone. Push the bottom end of the battery into
the phone until it clicks into the compartment.
Getting Started
2
Place the battery
cover back on the
phone, aligning the
tabs on the cover with
the groove on the
phone. Slide the
battery cover in the
direction shown until it locks into place.
Battery Use
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.
8
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, such as a refrigerator.
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.
Warning:
because they may explode.
Before using your phone, read the battery safety
information in the “Safety and General Information” section
included in this guide.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire
