Your Battery
Charging a New Battery
New batteries are supplied in a totally uncharged state.
To ensure maximum battery performance, a new battery (or
battery that has not been used for several months) should be
charged for at least 14 hours before use.
A
A new battery will require several full charge/discharge
cycles in order to achieve its optimum performance.
A
A new battery, or a battery that has not been used for
several months, may cause a premature fully charged
indication. Ignore this indication and let the battery charge
for several more hours, remove and re-insert the battery
into the charger, and charge for an additional 14 hours.
Important Battery Information
!
Always treat your batteries with care. See ‘Batteries’, at
the beginning of this manual.
!
Never leave your battery in extremely high
temperatures (over 60°C), for example behind glass in
very hot, direct sunlight.
!
Only Motorola Original Accessory batteries can be
charged in the phone or the optional desktop charger.
This is to protect you and your phone from the risks of
incorrect charging.
A
Do not use lithium ion batteries at extremely low
temperatures as the maximum standby/talk time will not be
available when cold.
To ensure that you enjoy maximum battery life and use your
battery to its fullest capacity:
• The battery should be at or near room temperature when
charging.
Battery Performance and Maintenance
• Best battery performance will be achieved when you regularly
charge and discharge batteries as instructed in this manual.
• Battery performance is greatly affected by network coverage.
• Set Battery Saving Mode to On (see ‘Phone Setup
Menu’) and/or Frequency of Search to Slow or Medium
(see ‘Network Selection Menu’).
• If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself in
approximately one month.
• When not in use, store your battery uncharged in a cool, dark
and dry place.
Low Battery Warning
When the battery level is low and only a few minutes of talk time
remain, a warning signal (two double beeps) will sound, the
border of the battery symbol will begin to flash, and
Low
Battery will be displayed.
When the battery is completely discharged, your phone will turn
off.
