charge battery
Tip: Relax! You can safely leave the charger connected to the phone after charging is complete. This will not damage the battery.

essentials 11
sections. Some batteries perform best after several full charge/discharge cycles.
1 Insert the charger into the connector on your phone.
2 Plug the other end of the charger into an appropriate electrical outlet.
3When your phone displays Charge Complete, remove the charger.
Note: Charging the phone from a computer’s USB port is not supported.
Battery Use & Battery Safety
•Motorola recommends you always use Motorola-branded batteries and chargers.
The warranty does not cover damage caused by non-Motorola batteries and/or chargers.
Caution: Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. Improper battery use, or use of a damaged battery, may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard.
•Battery usage by children should be supervised.
•Important: Motorola mobile devices are designed to work best with qualified 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 bears a Motorola “Original Equipment” hologram;
•If there is no hologram, the battery is not a qualified battery;
12 essentials
•If there is a hologram, replace the battery and retry charging it;
•If the message remains, contact a Motorola Authorized Service Center.
•New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more time to charge.
•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
•When storing your battery, keep it in a cool, dry place.
•It is normal over time for battery life to decrease, and for the battery to exhibit shorter runtime between charges or require more frequent or longer charging times.
•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 not attempt to dry it with an appliance or heat source, such as a hair dryer or microwave oven.
•Use care when handling a charged battery—particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects. Contact with metal objects (such as jewelry, keys, beaded chains) could complete an electrical circuit (short circuit), causing the battery to become very hot, which could cause damage or injury.
essentials 13

Warning: Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may explode.
