Battery Use & Battery Safety
• Motorola recommends you always use Motorola-branded batteries
and chargers.
The warranty does not cover damage caused by
non-Motorola batteries and/or chargers.
Caution:
Use of an unqualified
battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other
hazard. Improper battery use or use of a damaged battery may result in a fire,
explosion or other hazard.
•
Battery usage by children should be supervised.
• Important:
Motorola mobile devices are designed to work best with
qualified batteries. If you see a message on your display such as
Invalid
Battery
or
Unable to Charge
, take the following steps:
•
Remove the battery and inspect it to confirm that it bears a Motorola
“Original Equipment” hologram;
•
If there is no hologram, the battery is not a qualified battery;
•
If there is a hologram, replace the battery and retry charging it;
•
If the message remains, contact a Motorola Authorised Service Centre.
•
New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more time to
charge.
• Charging precautions:
When charging your battery, keep it near room
temperature. Never expose batteries to temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or
above 45°C (113°F) when charging. Always take your mobile device with you
when you leave your vehicle
•
When storing your battery, keep it in a cool, dry place.
•
It is normal over time for battery life to decrease and for the battery to exhibit
shorter runtime between charges or require more frequent or longer charging
times.
• Avoid damage to battery and mobile device.
Do not disassemble, open,
crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred or submerge the battery or mobile
device. Avoid dropping the battery or mobile device, especially on a hard
surface. If your battery or mobile device has been subjected to such damage,
take it to a Motorola Authorised Service Centre before using. Do
not
attempt
to dry it with an appliance or heat source, such as a hair dryer or microwave
oven.
