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 phone or battery come in contact with water. Water can get into the phone’s circuits, leading to corrosion. If the phone and/or battery get wet, have them checked by your carrier or contact Motorola, even if they appear to be working properly.
•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 battery near a heat source. Excessive heat can damage the phone or the battery. High temperatures can cause the battery to swell, leak, or malfunction. Therefore:
•Do not dry a wet or damp battery with an appliance or heat source, such as a hair dryer or microwave oven.
•Avoid leaving your phone in your car in high temperatures.
DOs
•Do avoid dropping the battery or phone. Dropping these items, especially on a hard surface, can potentially cause damage.
•Do contact your service provider or Motorola if your phone or battery has been damaged from dropping or high temperatures.
