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.

•

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.

Contact your local recycling center for

TTY operation

You can use an optional TTY device with your phone to send and receive calls. You must plug the TTY device into the phone’s headset connector and set the phone to operate in one of three TTY modes.

Note:

Use a TSB-121 compliant cable (provided by the TTY manufacturer) to connect the TTY device to your phone.

Note:

Set the phone to level 4 (middle setting) for proper operation. If you experience a high number of incorrect characters, adjust the volume as needed to minimize the error rate.

Note:

For optimal performance, your phone should be at least 12 inches (30 centimeters) from the TTY device. Placing the phone too close to the TTY device may cause high error rates.

When you set your phone to a TTY mode, it operates in that mode whenever the TTY device is connected:
