Battery Tips

Battery life depends on the network, signal strength,
temperature, features, and accessories you use.

•

Always use Motorola Original™
batteries and 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 center for proper
battery disposal.

Warning:

Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they

may explode.

Before using your phone, read the battery safety
information in the “Safety and General Information” section
included in this guide.
