Battery Use & Battery Safety
• Motorola recommends you always use Motorola-branded
batteries and chargers. The warranty does not cover damage
caused by non-Motorola batteries and/or chargers. Caution:
Use of an unqualifi ed battery or charger may present a risk of fi re,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard. Improper battery use, or use
of a damaged battery, may result in a fi re, explosion, or other hazard.
• Battery usage by children should be supervised.
• Important: Motorola mobile devices are designed to work best with
qualifi ed batteries. If you see a message on your display such as
Invalid Battery or Unable to Charge, take the following steps:
• Remove the battery and inspect it to confi rm that it bears a
Motorola “Original Equipment” hologram;
• If there is no hologram, the battery is not a qualifi ed battery;
• If there is a hologram, replace the battery and retry charging it;
• If the message remains, contact a Motorola Authorized Service
Center.
• New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more time
to charge.
• Charging precautions: When charging your battery, keep it near
room temperature. Never expose batteries to temperatures below
0°C (32°F) or above 45°C (113°F) when charging. Always take your
mobile device with you when you leave your vehicle.
• When storing your battery, keep it in a cool, dry place.
• It is normal over time for battery life to decrease, and for the battery
to exhibit shorter runtime between charges or require more frequent
or longer charging times.
• Avoid damage to battery and mobile device. Do not disassemble,
open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred, or submerge the battery or
mobile device. Avoid dropping the battery or mobile device, especially
on a hard surface. If your battery or mobile device has been subjected
to such damage, take it to a Motorola Authorized Service Center
before using. Do not attempt to dry it with an appliance or heat
source, such as a hair dryer or microwave oven.
• Use care when handling a charged battery—particularly when
placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.
Contact with metal objects (such as jewelry, keys, beaded chains)
could complete an electrical circuit (short circuit), causing the battery
to become very hot, which could cause damage or injury.
Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local
regulations. Contact your local recycling center for proper battery
032375o
disposal.
Warning: Never dispose of batteries in a fi re because they may
explode. Before using your phone, read the battery safety information
in the “Safety and General Information” section.

Certain mobile phone features are dependent on the capabilities and
settings of your service provider’s network. Additionally, certain features
may not be activated by your service provider, and/or the provider's
network settings may limit the feature’s functionality. Always contact your
service provider about feature availability and functionality. All features,
functionality, and other product specifi cations, as well as the information
contained in this user's guide are based upon the latest available

Specifi c Absorption Rate Data
This model meets international guidelines for exposure to
radio waves.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended
by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by
the independent scientifi c organization ICNIRP and include safety
margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless
of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specifi c
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The ICNIRP SAR limit for mobile devices
used by the general public is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value
for this device when tested at the ear was 0.51 W/kg.
devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other
positions, such as on the body as described in this user guide.
In this case, the highest tested SAR value is 0.77 W/kg.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest transmitting power,
the actual SAR of this device while operating is typically below that
indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level
of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum level required to
reach the network.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the governmental
requirements for safe exposure. Please note that improvements
to this product model could cause differences in the SAR value for
later products; in all cases, products are designed to be within the
guidelines.

The World Health Organization has stated that present scientifi c
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for
the use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce your
exposure then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or using
a “hands-free” device to keep the mobile phone away from the head
and body.
Additional Information can be found on the websites of the
World Health Organization (http://www.who.int/emf) or Motorola,
Inc. (http://www.motorola.com/rfhealth).

The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines for
testing. The limit incorporates a substantial margin for safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements. Additional related information includes the Motorola
testing protocol, assessment procedure, and measurement uncertainty
range for this product.
