your card to static electricity, water, or dirt. 5.3 Memory Card
Insert the Memory Card next to the SIM card (see above)

they will be saved to the Memory Card.

the Memory Card, press M and select Memory Card/Phone

(for example, digital cameras, laptops,
mp3-players).

5.4 Battery Tips
14 Basics

5.4 Battery Tips

Battery life depends on the network, signal strength,
temperature, features, and accessories you use.
•Always use MotorolaOriginal batteries and
battery chargers. The warranty does not
cover damage caused by non-Motorola
batteries and/or chargers.
•New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may
take more time to charge.
•When charging your battery, keep it near room
temperature.
•When storing your battery, keep it uncharged in a cool,
dark, dry place, such as a refrigerator.
•Never expose batteries to temperatures below -10°C
(14°F) or above 45°C (113°F). Always take your phone
with you when you leave your vehicle.
•It is normal for batteries to gradually wear down and
require longer charging times. If you notice a change in
your battery life, it is probably time to purchase a new
battery.
Contact your local recycling centre for proper battery
disposal.
Warning: Never dispose of batteries in a fire because
they may explode.
Before using your phone, please read the battery safety
information in the Safety and General Information section
included in this guide.

5.6 Charging the Battery

New batteries are shipped partially charged. Before you can

full charge/discharge cycles.
Tip: You can safely leave the travel charger connected to

the battery.
