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.
Caution:
objects to contact or short-circuit the battery terminals.

To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal
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
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.
•
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.
Warning:
