The Battery and Charger
Motorola batteries and charg ers are made from the highest-quality
materials available. The batte r y and ch arg er inc lud e d with the
Timeport P930 Two-Way Pager come with a one year warranty and
should provide good performance well beyond the initial warranty
period. H ow e ve r, re chargeabl e ba tte ries do not last fo re ve r. At
some point, batteries wear out and must be replaced. If your
battery’s performance has degraded (e.g., the battery’s charge lasts
only half as long as when it was new), you should consider replacing
your battery with a new Motorola factory-assured battery. Batteries, as well as any other Motorola Timeport P930 Two-Way Pager
accessory, can be pu rc hased throug h yo ur deal e r , or by ca lling
Motorola direct at 1-800-548-9954.
