battery charging
New batteries are
not fully charged.
Plug the battery
charger into your
phone and an
electrical outlet.
Your phone might
take several
seconds to start
charging the battery. Your display shows
Charge Complete
when finished.
Tip:
Relax, you can’t overcharge your battery.
It will perform best after you fully charge and
discharge it a few times.
You can charge your battery by
connecting a cable from your
phone's mini-USB port to a USB
port on a computer. Both your
phone and the computer must be turned on,
and your computer must have the correct
software drivers installed. Cables and
software drivers are available in
Motorola Original data kits, sold separately.

strength, temperature, features, and
accessories you use.

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.
•
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.
