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.
