an electrical outlet.
Your phone displays
Charge Complete when
finished.
Tip: Relax, you cannot overcharge your

charge and discharge it a few times.

Before you can use your phone, install and

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.
• Never expose batteries to
temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or
above 45°C (113°F). Always take your

11
essentials
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 the
gray-edged pages at the back of this guide.
Note: If you remove the battery for a long
time, the phone will ask you to reset the time
and date. If you choose to cancel or ignore,
the time and date will be affected. You can
input the correct time and date by:
Find it: Press M > Settings > Other Settings
> Initial Setup > Time and Date
But, if you remove the battery just for a few
seconds (e.g., quickly change SIM card), the
system either won’t ask you to reset the time
and date or if prompted, you can choose
CANCEL on the time and date screen, the clock
will only be slightly affected.
