Battery Use & Safety

The following battery use and safety information applies to all Motorola mobile devices. If your mobile device uses a non-removable main battery (as stated in your product information), details related to handling and replacing your battery should be disregarded—the battery should only be replaced by a Motorola-approved service facility, and any attempt to remove or replace your battery may damage the product. Important: Handle and store batteries properly to avoid injury or damage. Most battery issues arise from improper handling of batteries, and particularly from the continued use of damaged batteries. DON’Ts

• Don’t disassemble, crush, puncture, shred, or

otherwise attempt to change the form of your battery.

• Don’t let the mobile device or battery come in

contact with liquids.* Liquids can get into the mobile device’s circuits, leading to corrosion.

• Don’t allow the battery to touch metal objects. If

metal objects, such as jewelry, stay in prolonged contact with the battery contact points, the battery could become very hot.

• Don’t place your mobile device or battery near a

heat source.* High temperatures can cause the battery to swell, leak, or malfunction.

• Don’t dry a wet or damp battery with an appliance

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

DOs

• Do avoid leaving your mobile device in your car in

high temperatures.*

• Do avoid dropping the mobile device or battery.*

Dropping these items, especially on a hard surface, can potentially cause damage.*

• Do contact your service provider or Motorola if

your mobile device or battery has been damaged by dropping, liquids or high temperatures.

* Note: Always make sure that the battery compartment and any connector covers are closed and secure to avoid direct expos ure of the battery to any of these conditions, even if your product information states that your mobile device can resist damage from these conditions. Important: Motorola recommends you always use Motorola-branded batteries and chargers for quality assurance and safeguards. Motorola’s warranty does not cover damage to the mobile device caused by non-Motorola batteries and/or chargers. To help you identify authentic Motorola batteries from non-original or counterfeit batteries (that may not have adequate safety protection), Motorola provides holograms on its batteries. You

5Touchscreen & Keys

should confirm that any battery you purchase has a

032375o

“Motorola Original” hologram. 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 has a “Motorola Original” hologram;

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

Motorola battery;

• If there is a hologram, replace the battery and try

charging it again;

• If the message remains, contact a Motorola

authorized service center.

War nin g: Use of a non-Motorola battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. Proper and safe battery disposal and recycling: Proper battery disposal is not only important for safety, it benefits the environment. You can recycle your used batteries in many retail or service provider locations. Additional information on proper disposal and recycling can be found at www.motorola.com/recycling Disposal: Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Contact your local recycling center or national recycling organizations for more information on how to dispose of batteries.

War nin g: Never dispose of batteries in a fire becaus e they may explode.

Seizures/Blackouts

Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to flashing ligh ts, suc h as whe n play ing vid eos or g ames. These

may occur even if a person has never had a previous seizure or blackout. If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have a family history of such occurrences, please consult with your physician before playing videos or games or enabling a flashing-lights feature (if available) on your mobile device. Discontinue use and consult a physician if any of the following symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movements, or disorientation. It is always a good idea to hold the screen away from your eyes, leave the lights on in the room, take a 15-minute break every hour, and stop use if you are tired.

Caution About High Volume Usage

War nin g: Exposure to loud noise from any source for extended periods of time may affect your hearing. The louder the volume sound level, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. To protect your hearing:

• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or

headphones at high volume.

• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy

surroundings.

• Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people

speaking near you.

If you experience hearing discomfort, including the sensation of pressure or fullness in your ears, ringing in your ears, or muffled speech, you should
