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 unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. Improper battery use, or use of a damaged battery, may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard.

•Battery usage by children should be supervised.

•Important: Motorola mobile devices are designed to work best with qualified 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 confirm that it bears a Motorola “Original Equipment” hologram;

•If there is no hologram, the battery is not a qualified 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.
