Battery Use & Safety

The following battery use and safety information applies to all Motorola mobile devices. If your mobile device uses a non-removable main battery (as stated in your product information), details related to handling and replacing your battery should be disregarded—the battery should only be replaced by a Motorola-approved service facility, and any attempt to remove or replace your battery, unless performed by a service representative, may damage the product and void your warranty. Important: Handle and store batteries properly to avoid injury or damage. Most battery safety issues arise from improper handling of batteries, and particularly from the continued use of damaged batteries.
