Battery Use and Safety
•Motorola recommends you always use
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 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.
•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.
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.
