Installing the Battery

Your phone is designed to use only
Motorola Original batteries and accessories.
We recommend that you store batteries in

their protective cases when not in use.

2.

Charging the Battery

New batteries are shipped partially charged. Before you
can use your phone, you need to install and charge the
battery as described below. Some batteries perform best
after several full charge/discharge cycles.

Action

1

Plug the travel charger
into your phone with the
release tab facing up.

2

Plug the other end of the travel charger into the
appropriate electrical outlet.

When your phone indicates
the release tab and remove the travel charger.

Tip:

You can safely leave the travel charger connected to
the phone after charging is complete. This will

Battery Use

Battery performance depends on many factors, including
your wireless carrier’s network configuration; signal
strength; the temperature at which you operate your
phone; the features and/or settings you select and use;
items attached to the phone’s accessory connector port;
and your voice, data, and other application usage patterns.

Getting Started

Caution:

objects to contact or short-circuit the battery terminals.

To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal

11

To maximize your battery’s performance:

•

Always use Motorola Original batteries and battery

chargers. The phone warranty does not cover
damage caused from using non-Motorola batteries
and/or battery chargers.

•

New batteries or batteries that have been stored

for a long time may require a longer charge time.

•

Maintain the battery at or near room temperature
when charging.

•

Do not expose batteries to temperatures below -10°C
(14°F) or above 45°C (113°F). Always take your

Getting Started

phone with you when you leave your vehicle.

•

When you do not intend to use a battery for a while,
store it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place, such as a
refrigerator.

•

Over time, batteries gradually wear down and require
longer charging times. This is normal. If you charge
your battery regularly and notice a decrease in talk
time or an increase in charging time, then it is
probably time to purchase a new battery.

The rechargeable batteries that power this phone
must be disposed of properly and may need to

be recycled. Refer to your battery’s label for
battery type. Contact your local recycling center for proper
disposal methods. Never dispose of batteries in a fire
because they may explode.

Attaching the Camera

Insert the optional
Motorola Original™ Digital
Camera into the accessory
connector port at the

bottom of your phone as shown.
