Battery Use & Safety

Important: Handle and store batteries properly to avoid injury or damage. Most battery issues arise from improper handling of batteries, and particularly from the continued use of damaged batteries.

DON’Ts

•Don’t disassemble, crush, puncture, shred, or otherwise attempt to change the form of your battery.

•Don’t let the mobile device or battery come in contact with liquids.* Liquids can get into the mobile device’s circuits, leading to corrosion.

•Don’t allow the battery to touch metal objects. If metal objects, such as jewelry, stay in prolonged contact with the battery contact points, the battery could become very hot.

•Don’t place your mobile device or battery near a heat source.* High temperatures can cause the battery to swell, leak, or malfunction.

•Don’t dry a wet or damp battery with an appliance or heat source, such as a hair dryer or microwave oven.

DOs

•Do avoid leaving your mobile device in your car in high temperatures.*

•Do avoid dropping the mobile device or battery.* Dropping these items, especially on a hard surface, can potentially cause damage.*

•Do contact your service provider or Motorola if your mobile device or battery has been

damaged by dropping, liquids or high temperatures.

*Note: Always make sure that the battery compartment and any connector covers are closed and secure to avoid direct exposure of the battery to any of these conditions, even if your product information states that your mobile device can resist damage from these conditions.

Important: Motorola recommends you always use Motorola-branded batteries and chargers for quality assurance and safeguards. Motorola’s warranty does not cover damage to the mobile device caused by non-Motorola batteries and/or chargers. To help you identify authentic Motorola batteries from non-original or counterfeit batteries (that may not have adequate safety protection), Motorola provides holograms on its batteries. You should confirm that any battery you purchase has a “Motorola Original” hologram.

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 confirm that it has a “Motorola Original” hologram;
