charge battery
New batteries are shipped partially charged.
Before you can use your phone, you need to
install and charge the battery as described
below. Some batteries perform best after
several full charge/discharge cycles.
To charge using the charger:
1
Insert the charger
into the USB
connector on your
phone as shown.
2 Plug the other end
of the charger into
the appropriate
electrical outlet.

10
essentials
3 When your phone indicates Charge Complete ,
remove the charger.
Tip: You can safely leave the charger
connected to the phone after charging is
complete. This will
not damage the battery.
When you charge the battery, the battery level
indicator in the upper right corner of the
screen shows how much of the charging
process is complete. At least one segment of
the battery level indicator must be visible to
ensure full phone functionality while charging.
To charge from your PC:
You can charge your battery by connecting a
cable from your phone’s mini-USB port to a
high-power USB port on a computer (not a
low-power one such as the USB port on your
keyboard or bus-powered USB hub). Typically,
USB high-power ports are located directly on
your computer.
Both your phone and the computer must be
turned on, and your computer must have the
correct software drivers installed. Cables and
software drivers are available in Motorola
Original data kits, sold separately.
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.

11
essentials
• 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
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.
