Battery Use & Safety

Warning: Your mobile device contains a battery that should only be removed by a Motorola approved service center or recycler.

Don’t try to remove or replace the battery yourself. Attempting to remove or replace the battery may damage the battery and may cause burning and injury.

Don’t try to take apart or fix your phone. Attempting to take apart or fix your phone may damage the battery and may cause burning and injury.

Don’t crush, bend, or expose your phone to heat or liquid. This may damage the battery and may cause burning and injury.

Battery Charging

Notes for charging your product’s battery:

During charging, keep your mobile device and charger near room temperature for efficient battery charging.

New batteries are not fully charged.

New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more time to charge.

Motorola batteries and charging systems have circuitry that protects the battery from damage from overcharging.

Third Party Accessories

Using third party accessories, including but not limited to batteries, chargers, headsets, covers, cases, screen protectors, and memory cards, may impact your mobile device’s performance. Using a non-Motorola battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. Motorola’s warranty doesn’t cover damage to the phone caused by non-Motorola batteries and/or chargers. For a list of Motorola accessories, visit

Driving Precautions

Responsible and safe driving is your primary responsibility when driving a vehicle. Making calls or using applications while driving may cause distraction, and may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas—always obey local laws and regulations for the use of mobile devices and accessories in the vehicle.

While driving, ALWAYS:

Keep your eyes on the road.

Use a handsfree device if available or required by law in your area.

Enter destination information into a navigation device before driving.

Use voice activated features (such as voice dial) and speaking features (such as audible directions), if available.

Concentrate on driving, and stop using the mobile device if you can’t concentrate.

Pull over safely before using your mobile device to send messages, surf the web, or use other applications.

Seizures, Blackouts & Eyestrain

To reduce eyestrain and avoid headaches, it is always a good idea to hold the screen a comfortable distance from your eyes, use in a well-lit area, and take frequent breaks.

Some people may be susceptible to seizures or blackouts (even if they have never had one before) when exposed to flashing lights or light patterns, such as when playing video games, or watching videos with flashing-light effects.

Discontinue use and consult a physician if any of the following symptoms occur: seizures, blackout, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, or disorientation.

Caution About High Volume Usage

Warning: Exposure to loud noise from any source for extended periods of time may affect your hearing. The louder the sound, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. To protect your hearing:

Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high volume.

Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.

If you experience hearing discomfort, including the sensation of pressure or fullness in your ears, ringing in your ears, or muffled speech, you should stop listening to the device through your headset or headphones and have your hearing checked.

Repetitive Motion

When you repetitively perform actions, such as pressing keys, you may experience discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. If you continue to have discomfort during or after such use, stop use and see a physician.
