Tip:

Relax, you can’t overcharge your battery. It will perform

best after you fully charge and discharge it a few times.

Your phone has a light just below the external display that can pulse when you charge your battery. To turn this light on or off, see page 31.

You can charge your battery by connecting a cable from your phone's mini-USB port to a USB port on a computer.

battery tips

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.

•

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.
